Operating rules • PRIORITIES 1 Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls take priority over all others. 2 You must monitor channel 16 when you are not operating on another channel. 3 False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and pun- ishable by law.
BASIC OPERATION Channel selection D Channel 16 Channel 16 is the distress channel. It is used for establishing initial contact with another station and for emergency com- munications. Channel 16 is monitored during dualwatch/ tri-watch. While standing by you are required to monitor chan- nel 16.
NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts. The IC-M1 can detect a weather alert tone on the selected weather channel while receiving the channel, during standby on a regular channel or while scanning. See the “SET mode items”...
BASIC OPERATION Receiving and transmitting CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may dam- age the transceiver. 1 Rotate [OFF/VOL] clockwise to turn power ON, then set to the 10 o’clock position. - Use the squelch function to mute any audio noise if necessary. Refer to the previous page for details.
Optional voice scrambler operation D Activating the scrambler The optional voice scrambler provides private communica- tions. In order to receive or send scrambled transmissions you must first activate the scrambler function. To activate the func- tion, an optional UT-98 is necessary. Ask your dealer for de- tails.
BASIC OPERATION Call channel programming The call channel key is used to select channel 9, however, you can program your most often-used channels in each channel group for quick recall. 1 Push [ U/I/C] for 1 sec. CH/WX• several times to select the de- sired channel group (USA, INT, CAN) to be programmed.
Description Dualwatch monitors channel 16 while you are receiving an- other channel; tri-watch monitors channel 16 and the call channel while receiving another channel. DUALWATCH/TRI-WATCH SIMULATION Dualwatch Tri-watch • If a signal is received on channel 16, dualwatch/tri-watch pauses on channel 16 until the signal disappears. •...
SCAN OPERATION Scan types Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and normal scan. In addition, weather alert and automatic scan start function is available for standby convenience. (p. 14) PRIORITY SCAN CH 01 CH 16...
Setting tag channels For more efficient scanning, add desired channels as tag channels or clear tag channels for unwanted channels. Channels set as non-tag channels will be skipped during scanning. Tag channels can be assigned to each channel group (USA, CAN, INT) independently. 1 Select the desired channel group (USA, CAN, INT) by pushing [ U/I/C] for 1 sec., if desired.
SET MODE SET mode programming SET mode is used to change the conditions of 6 transceiver functions: the beep tone function, the automatic backlighting, weather alert function, normal/priority scan, scan resume timer and auto scan function. 1 Turn power OFF. 2 While pushing [SQL], turn power ON and continue push- ing [SQL] until “bP”...

D Weather alert function “AL” An NOAA broadcast station transmits an weather alert tone before an important weather information. When the weather alert function is turned ON, the transceiver detects the alert, then flashes the “ALT” indicator until the transceiver is oper- ated.
BATTERY CHARGING Battery cautions NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. NEVER short terminals of the battery pack.
