- Page 3 Connection to Radio The ICOM CI-V cable has a 1/8in (3.5mm) audio type plug on each end. Connect the cable to the back of the SWL IR Remote control unit and then connect to the back of your radio to the connection marked REMOTE.
- Page 4 Remote Control Operation Description The following describes the operation of the remote control. Some of these operations are only available on certain radios. Refer to the Universal Remote Commands tables, or the Commands Quick Reference guides for specific features. Once you begin to use the remote you will get very comfortable with the operation. There is a lot of functionality achieved by just a few remote buttons.
- Page 5 used. The step frequency is kept and used again the next time the CH+/- keys are used. The step is permanently kept when the radio is powered off and back on with the remote Power button. The CH+/- keys will change the frequency when in the VFO mode, and change memories up and down when in memory mode.
- Page 6 changed. If you were to increment from 1kHz to 2kHz by 100Hz steps, the tuning would not be affected until 2kHz was to show on the display. This would take 10 presses of the CH+. Memory Operation When moving through the memories, you can directly select a memory channel using the x (x) (x) Last key sequence.

- Page 10 LED Operation The LED provides feedback on the mode and operation of the SWL IR Remote. The LED blinks slowly whenever there is a communications error (such as NAK from ICOM radios) or the communications has timed out waiting for a response when a response is expected. The most common reason that the LED blinks slowly is a command that is not understood by the ICOM radio, and the radio has returned a NAK.
- Page 11 RS-232C Level Converter Description The RS-232C Level Converter option connects to a computer through the DB9 connector on the back of the SWL IR Remote unit. Just plug your computer into the SWL IR Remote and you can use any software program that can communicate with your receiver. It is possible to use the RS- 232C Level Converter to convert baud rates between your radio and computer.
- Page 12 Troubleshooting Nothing happens when using the Universal Remote. Make sure the radio is powered. Verify that the Universal Remote is in the TV mode. Check that the remote control box is connected to the wall power supply and that the wall power supply is connected to the AC supply.
- Page 13 Memory on the radio and the SWL IR Remote are not synchronized. If the memories are changed in any fashion other than the Universal Remote, the SWL IR Remote can lose track of the currently selected memory. Use the SWL IR Remote to perform memory operations, or select the memory channel directly with the SWL IR Remote to synchronize the current memory channel after making memory changes other than by using the remote.
