I Your first contact
Now that you have your IC-E208 installed in your car or
shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would
like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make
your first "On The Air" an enjoyable experience.
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Before powering up your IC-E208, you may want to make
sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in
9–10 o'clock positions.
Set [VOL] and [SQL] controls to 9–10 o'clock positions.
Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start
from factory default.
