Your First Contact - Icom IC-E2820 Instruction Manual

■ Your first contact
Now that you have your IC-E2820 installed in your car or
shack, you are probably anxious to get on the air. We would
like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make
your first time "On The Air" an enjoyable experience.
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Before powering up your IC-E2820, you may want to make
sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in
9–10 o'clock positions.
Set both [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 Quality Control (QC) process. Resetting the CPU is
necessary to start from factory default.

hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.

The IC-E2820 displays 2 frequencies on the left and right
bands simultaneously. However, transmission, some keys
and microphone operation apply only to the main band.
