CAUTIONS  
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-  
peratures below –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F (+60°C) or,  
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.  
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an  
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric  
shock.  
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more  
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin  
the transceiver.  
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-  
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the  
transceiver is in transmission while the vehicle’s engine OFF.  
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and  
fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting,  
the transceiver might be damaged.  
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-  
ronments.  
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will  
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of  
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily  
injury.  
obstruct heat dissipation.  
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or  
alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-  
faces.  
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.  
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.  
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when  
operating continuously for long periods.  
USE supplied microphone only. Other microphones have  
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

MAP27 serial interface  
MAP27 is a Mobile Access Protocol for MPT1327/1343 com-  
munication equipment. It permits data exchange between  
MPT radio equipment and external equipment such as a data  
terminal which may be a laptop computer.  
OPC-822 (OPTION) installation  
By connecting the OPC-822 OPTIONAL INTERFACE CABLE to the  
external connector of the transceiver (J9), you can use the  
serial interface*. (See right.)  
J9  
*Available baud rate: 1200/2400/4800/9600  
OPC-822  
Using the appropriate PC software, you can control dialling,  
hook off (answer), hook on (clear down), status and short  
data from the computer.  
The interface supports the following functions.  
Independent Call, Group Call  
Emergency Call (call with “9”)  
Clear down  
Send/receive status messages  
Send/receive SDM (Short Data Message): up to 100  
ASCII characters

Conventional Mode operation  
Programmable key assignment  
This transceiver has conventional mode capability. You can  
use up to 32 pre-programmed conventional channels. These  
channels can be selected with the [ ] or [ ].  
Dealer programmable keys [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [P4], [OP F0],  
[OP F1], [OP F2], [], [], [ ] and [ ] can be pro-  
grammed for one of several functions by your Icom dealer.  
In the following explanations, programmable function names  
are bracketed; the specific switch used to activate the func-  
tion depends on programming.  
Push the [Mode] key assigned as the dealer programma-  
ble key to toggle between Trunking mode and Conventional  
mode. The transceiver memorizes the operating mode until  
Mode key is pushed, even if the power is turned OFF.  
Conventional mode only;  
[Monitor]  
NOTE: You must assign the [Mode] function to a dealer pro-  
grammable key, both for the Trunking mode and the  
Conventional mode in the key Assign screen of the cloning  
software.  
The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s  
squelch manually to check whether a channel is busy or  
not.  
[CH Up]/[CH Down]  
Push to select the operating channel.  
[Simplex]  
CTCSS tone squelch function is available in the

channel and make a communication with [PTT].  
While the Conventional mode is selected, the [Clear/P4]  
key functions as [Monitor]. (Default setting.)  
Pushing this key allows you to open the transceiver’s  
squelch manually to check whether a channel is busy  
or not.  
The Simplex function changes duplex channels to simplex
