The LED indicator alternately blinks red and green. The transceiver cannot be operated until data cloning is performed. Ask your dealer for details. NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the transceiver may ignore the Stun, Revive and Kill commands, that are from a non-speci-

fied station. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 28 Receiving a call (Continued) Receiving a Status Polling call 4 dPMR OPERATION D If a Status Polling call is received, the transceiver will automatically transmit its current status.*

Receiving an Ambience Listening call D If an Individual call with an Ambience Listening command is re-

ceived from a specified station, the transceiver will automatically transmit its microphone audio.*

*Depending on the presetting. NOTE: If the transceiver receives an Ambience Listening com-

mand from a station other than the specified one, the call will be ignored, and the transceiver will not transmit its microphone au-

dio. Receiving an Emergency call D When an Emergency call is received:

The transceiver will automatically transmit a return signal. The LED indicator blinks orange. Beeps sound and the mute is released. Push [Clear] to return to the standby mode. Talk back function D The Talk Back function allows you to select the same call mode

(Analog or Digital) as the received call. NOTE: When this function is not activated, the transceiver al-

ways transmits analog signals on Mixed-Analog channels, and digital signals on Mixed-Digital channels. On these channels, the transceiver can receive both analog and digital signals, regardless of the Talk Back function. 29 dPMR OPERATION 4 Transmitting a call dPMR operation allows you to make a call to a specific station (In-

dividual call) or to a particular group (Talkgroup call). Other digital mode transceivers on the channel will not receive a call that does not match their individual or talkgroup ID and/or CC. D q w Transmitting a Voice call Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR], or push one of the memory chan-

nel keys, [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4], to select a desired channel, Individual ID or Talkgroup ID, depending on the presetting. Push [PTT] or [Call] to make a Voice call. The LED indicator lights red while transmitting. The LED indicator fast blinks orange. After an acknowledgement is received, the LED indicator slowly blinks orange in the Audible mode, or it goes OFF when no ac-

knowledgement is received. e r t Hold down [PTT], then speak at your normal voice level. The LED indicator lights red while transmitting. Release [PTT] to receive. After you finish your communication, push [Clear] to send a Dis-

connect signal to terminate the connection. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 30 Transmitting a call (Continued) Transmitting an Emergency call 4 dPMR OPERATION D When [Emergency] is held down for the specified time period, the emergency signal (digital command) is transmitted once or repeat-

edly* on the specified emergency channel. When no emergency channel is specified, the signal is transmitted on the operating channel.

* When the Repeat Cancel function is ON, the transceiver cancels repeating after receiving a return signal. When the Repeat Cancel function is OFF, the transceiver repeats calling according to the number of repeat cycles, even after receiv-

ing a return signal. Individual or Talkgroup call types of emergency calls can be pre-

set. If the call type is not preset, the default or selected call type is used. If you want to cancel the emergency call, hold down [Emergency]

again before transmitting the call. If your transceiver is programmed for Silent operation, you can transmit an Emergency call without the beep sounding and the LED indicator lighting. The transceiver can also be programmed to keep the microphone open during an emergency call, so others can monitor the situa-

tion. Ask your dealer for details. IMPORTANT: We recommend you set an emergency channel individually to provide the certain emergency call operation. NOTE: If the Digital Request Ack function is activated, the trans-

ceiver transmits the emergency call with a request to send back a return signal. 31 dPMR OPERATION 4 Status message transmission The status message can automatically be transmitted. The status message is transmitted when the transceiver is turned ON or OFF.

- Select a status message to be transmitted in Power ON Status or Power OFF Status items, respectively.

- Select a target station ID in Power Status ID. Scrambler function The voice scrambler function provides private communication be-

tween stations while operating in the digital mode. q w Hold down [Scrambler] for 1 second to turn ON the Scrambler function.

smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance. R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals) of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc. Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-

lace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the bat-

tery pack, but also the transceiver. Battery caution D R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire. R DANGER! NEVER use the transceiver or the battery if either one is damaged, shows cracks, bruises or is deformed. R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above +55C (+131F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery per-

formance or shorten battery life. 33 5 R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the bat-

tery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not waterproof. BATTERY CHARGING R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs, since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion. R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER mod-

ify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the bat-

tery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire. R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual. R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blind-

ness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately. R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an ab-

normal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor. R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery. R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-

pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture. CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range; 20C to +55C (4F to +131F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 34 5 BATTERY CHARGING CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50C; +122F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be de-

tached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place within the temperature range as shown below:

20C to +50C (4F to +122F) (up to a month) 20C to +40C (4F to +104F) (up to three months) 20C to +20C (4F to +68F) (up to a year) BE SURE to replace the battery with a new one after five years, even if still holds a charge. The inside battery material will deterio-

rate after a period of time, even with little use. 35 BATTERY CHARGING 5 Charging caution D R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with ex-

tremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the bat-

tery to stop charging. R WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and re-

move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat-

ing, or the battery may rupture. R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof. CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the specified temperature range: BC-212EX (+10C to +40C; +50F to +104F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20C (+68F). The bat-

tery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified tempera-

ture range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced. CAUTION: DO NOT place the charger on unstable surfaces.
