DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER Charge the specified Icom batteries only. Only
tested and approved for use with genuine Icom
batteries. Fire and/or explosion may occur when a third
party battery pack or counterfeit product is charged.
CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver (with
the battery pack attached) in a wet or soiled condition
into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the
charger terminals or damage to the charger. The charger
is not waterproof and water can easily get into it.
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery
gas may cause an explosion.
NEVER NEVER NEVER 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 NEVER NEVER NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also,
current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a
necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with,
or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or
completely discharged condition for long time. It causes
shorter battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack
unused for a long time, it must be kept safely after
discharge, or use the battery until the battery indicator
appears, then remove it from the transceiver. If your
battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being
charged, fully charge the battery pack again.
If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little),
new battery pack must be purchased.

1. Originally called Quick Call, this signalling protocol
was developed by Motorola in the 1950s.
2. 2-Tone (Quick Call) was designed to add Squelch
specificity especially for emergency service radios.
3. LMR consists of two distinct signals sent over the air
to a radio or a group.
4. Each tone can be configured within a 250 Hz and
3300 Hz tone frequency.
in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful
in emergency cases where the user may not be able
to trigger the microphone.
5. Stun/Kill This function allows the dispatch
console to disable, temporarily or permanently, a unit
using the 2-Tone capabilities. When Stun is used,
the unit may regain its functionality by entering a
password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains
functionality by reprogramming the unit using the
cloning software.

5. Normally, the duration of the tones varies from one
(1) to three (3) seconds in length no space between
the tones. Tone lengths of up to 10 seconds are
commonly seen in existing applications.
6. ICOM radios allow variable tone periods and spaces
(no tone) between the tones.
2 22 2- -- -Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features
1. Selective Calling allows the dispatch console to
page an individual unit. Early models only allowed 1
(one) encoding tone set per channel or up to 3
(three) receive tones in the radio. Newer ICOM radios
allows the programming of up to 10 (ten) tones that
can be used all in one channel if necessary.
2. Group Calling - allows the dispatch console to page
a group.
3. Answer Back Call Also known as Radio Check
allows the dispatch console or another portable, to
send a tone to a particular radio and when the target
radio receives the tone it answers back with another
tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit
is ON and within range.
4. Auto Transmit Also known as Radio Spy allows
the dispatcher to send a 2-Tone signal to the radio
causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio
(Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening
6. Scan Start/Cancel Using 2-Tone a dispatcher can

1. RX Code Text Allows the programmer to add an
Alpha Numeric text tag to each tone for
identification at decode and encode if the unit has a
display.
2. Variable Signals This allows the user/programmer
to set the Beep and Bell to different formats for
easier identification when a signal is received.
3. Tones Assignable on a Channel by Channel Basis
The newer Icom radios allow the programmer to
enter in ten (10) tone sets, which can be used for
both encode AND decode if necessary. Each channel
has the capability to use all tones for both encode
and decode, if programmed correctly.
4. Multiple Tone Sets per Channel This also allows
the programmer to set all ten (10) tones on a single
channel if it was deemed necessary. Each channel
allows a programmer to use a combination of tones
per channel as needed.

1. Although it is dubbed as 5-Tone, this signalling
protocol consists of a fast data burst of one (1) to
seven (7) frequency tones that can selectively signal
a radio.
2. Originally a European signalling protocol, 5-Tone has
numerous formats such as:
a. CCIR
b. ZVEI1
c. ZVEI2

1. Unlike 2-Tone, where the programmer must know the
frequency to be used on each tone, 5-Tone does not
require knowledge of the frequencies to be used.
2. Each digit in the sequence is already predefined with
a specific frequency depending on the format
selected in the Tone form section of the
programming.
3. All the programmer needs to know is what format is
being used and what code needs to do what. The

system does the rest.
4. If there was a need, although it is not highly
recommended, the tone formats can be modified to
specific needs.
5. The 5-Tone Format section of programming allows
the programmer to view and modify three (3) aspects
of the 5-Tone format.
6. Tone Period - is the length of the encoded tone.
7. Notone Timer is the space required between tones
for proper decoding (tone spread).
8. Tone Length is the time the radio takes to decode
a tone.

Why chose 5 Why chose 5 Why chose 5 Why chose 5- -- -Tone? Tone? Tone? Tone?
1. 5-Tone is a non-proprietary signalling protocol that
allows the Icom radio to inter-operate with other
brands using the 5-Tone signalling.
2. This protocol also allows a mixed fleet operation.
3. It is faster than 2-Tone by employing a quick data
burst.
4. Customers are familiar with the protocol since it is an
Industry Standard in USA, Europe, and Asia.
5. Many manufacturers built dispatch consoles with this
capability.
6. 5-Tone offers flexible muting characteristics.
5 55 5- -- -Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features
1. Selective Calling allows the dispatch console to
page an individual unit.
2. Group Calling - allows the dispatch console to page
a group.
7. 5-Tone allows the PTT ID functionality on the radio.
8. As with 2-Tone, PMR also provides audible alerts,
emergency signalling and Dispatch functionality
making it a workable upgrade to an existing fleet.
***All these functions can be accomplished with
individual radios also.

1. The PMR model and radio functionality provides the
programmer with RX Text identifiers. When a
particular 5-Tone sequence is received, a radio with
display will show the alias attributed to that tone
sequence.
2. Where applicable, this radio also has flashing
indicators, variable audible signals and beeps.
3. When transmitting a 5-Tone sequence, the radio can
select from a programmed list with aliases in order to
identify the code desired for TX.
4. PMR radios allow for TX code editing and the
creation of a custom User Code that will allow the
42
3. Answer Back Call Also known as Radio Check
allows the dispatch console to send a 5-Tone
sequence to a particular radio and when the target
radio receives the tone it answers back with another
tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit
is ON and within range.
4. Auto Transmit Also known as Radio Spy allows
the dispatcher to send a 5-Tone signal to the radio
causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio
(Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening
in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful
in emergency cases where the user may not be able
to trigger the microphone.
5. Stun/Kill This function allows the dispatch
console to disable temporarily or permanently a unit
using the 5-Tone capabilities. When Stun is used,
the unit may regain its functionality by entering a
password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains
functionality by reprogramming the unit using the
cloning software.
6. Scan Start/Cancel Using 5-Tone a dispatcher can
send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the

users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup
everyone in a different channel. This feature is also
known as Radio Regroup.

What is LTR What is LTR What is LTR What is LTR/PassPort /PassPort /PassPort /PassPort? ?? ?
1. LTR (Logic Trunked Radio) and PassPort are analog
trunking protocols.
2. Trunking allows more efficient use of RF Spectrum
for two-way radios and other devices such as cell
phones and Nextel.
3. LTR is a type of trunking system and protocol that
uses a home channel and low speed data as its
basics of operation.
4. PassPort, developed by Trident Microsystems, is a
superset of the LTR trunking protocol.
Why LTR? Why LTR? Why LTR? Why LTR?
1. LTR stands for Logical Trunk Radio, originally
developed by EF Johnson and licensed to third party
vendors
2. Supports up to 20 channels per single site
3. Supports up to 250 user groups per home channel
4. Affordable solution
Why Why Why Why PassPort PassPort PassPort PassPort? ?? ?
1. PassPort allows features that dont exist in LTR
Key Features
Fringe Area Fringe Area Fringe Area Fringe Area
Programming a radio for better fringe area
performance compromises the radios ability to work
on the optimal site for its area, therefore the voice
quality of the connection may not be as good. But the
good news is that you will still be able to maintain
communications on the very fringes of a system and
in-building performance will be better.
Optimal (Best) Site Optimal (Best) Site Optimal (Best) Site Optimal (Best) Site

1. PassPort allows features that dont exist in LTR
such as MIN ID and selective call. PassPort still uses
the same basics of operation that LTR does.
2. Selective Call gives the option to have all or selected
units the ability to directly call one another without
the rest of the dispatch fleet being able to monitor
the call. Also gives management the flexibility to
contact individual units without disturbing normal
dispatch operations.
3. When a dispatch call is made, the receiving radio
displays either a MIN or MIN Alias of the calling
party. This allows quick identification of the calling
radio for better efficiency and radio tracking. Group
dispatch advantage - efficiency and cost advantages
of large group dispatch capabilities.
4. Allows less interconnect traffic from employees and
having a central dispatcher place calls.
5. Flexible roaming setup allows optimized operation
for a fringe or optimal site use.
PassPort Roaming Fundamentals PassPort Roaming Fundamentals PassPort Roaming Fundamentals PassPort Roaming Fundamentals
Programmable a radio to roam in PassPort involves
balancing voice quality and coverage distance. You
may want to decide what works for you or your
customer the best:
1. Optimized for Fringe Area Use
2. Optimized for Best Site Use
3. Balanced Performance for Compromise between
Fringe Area and Best Site Use
Optimal (Best) Site Optimal (Best) Site Optimal (Best) Site Optimal (Best) Site
Programming a radio so that you are on the best site
possible compromises the radios ability to work with
distant sites and in buildings. However, it improves the
chances of having better voice quality on transmission
and reception. Keep in mind, your radio will roam more
frequently, possibly resulting in some interruption of
service.
Balanced Performance Balanced Performance Balanced Performance Balanced Performance
Balanced settings are a compromise between Optimal
and Fringe settings. Your radio will not always have the
optimal voice quality and it will not work as well on the
extreme fringes of a system or in-buildings, but it will
work under a greater variety of conditions then radios
optimized for a Fringe or Optimal Site.

Group Scan Group Scan Group Scan Group Scan
Technically, when scanning only LTR groups, LTR
works differently then conventional scan.
In Group Scan, you are constantly monitoring only
the Home Channel.
Audio is then un-muted when one of the groups
being scanned is decoded.
When you add a group to a scan list, it is scanned in
order with any other group or conventional channel
in the list.
In this sense, a LTR group added to a scan list is
scanned just like any other conventional channel.
