INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
PMR446 FM TRANSCEIVER  
iF22SR  
 
I 2 types of built-in Code Squelch Systems:  
CTCSS; Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System  
DTCS; Digital Tone Code Squelch  
CTCSS* and DTCS* encoder/decoder are standard, providing  
quiet stand-by. Audio (voice) signals are output only when a sig-  
nal with a matched CTCSS or DTCS tone signal is received—  
very helpful for group communications. (pgs. 14, 28)  
*Select one of CTCSS or DTCS for your convenience.  
I 2 types of “Ring” function  
The “Smart-Ring”* function and the “Call-Ring” function are avail-  
able for smart and simple station calls providing a telephone-  
style ring when called. 16 different ringing tones are available.  
(pgs. 19–20)  
*“Smart-Ring” function available only when all of your group sta-  
tion use the same CTCSS tone code on the same operating  
channel.

IMPORTANT  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely  
before using the transceiver.  
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL–This instruction  
manual contains important operating instructions for the  
IC-F22SR PMR446 FM transceiver.  
CAUTIONS  
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an-  
tenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body,  
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver  
will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm away from the  
lips and the transceiver is vertical.  
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a  
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.  
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.  
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.  
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in  
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C. In an  
extreme low temperature environment (around –25°C), the ca-  
pacity of Alkaline or dry cell batteries may exhaust quickly. In  
such case, we recommend to replace the batteries, when the  
“Low Battery” warning appears during transmission.  
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans-  
ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

Battery cautions  
CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or  
charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may ow into  
nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-  
ing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.  
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-  
lace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery  
pack, but also the transceiver.  
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may  
cause an explosion.  
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-  
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the  
transceiver.  
Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.  
Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean battery ter-  
minals once a week.  
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being  
charged, completely discharge it, then fully charge the battery pack  
again. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or only very  
little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased.

Charging NOTE  
Prior to using the transceiver for the rst time, the battery pack must  
be fully charged for optimum life and operation.  
Recommended temperature range for charging:  
+10°C to +40°C.  
Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119/BC-121/BC-  
144 for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. NEVER  
use other manufacturerschargers.  
The optional BP-209, BP-210 or BP-222 battery packs include  
rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210) batteries and can be charged  
approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before rst operating  
the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.  
If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the fol-  
lowing points should be observed:  
Avoid overchargingbatteries must be removed from the charger  
to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for more than  
24 hours.  
Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted  
under normal conditions.  
DBattery pack life  
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after  
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.  
NOTE for the rapid chargers : The charger rapidly charges a  
battery pack to a specied level, not a completed level, to pre-  
vent overcharging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a  
few more hours (up to 15 hours; depending on battery condi-  
tion) after the LED indicator turns green, to charge the battery  
completely.

DCTCSS FIND  
This transceiver can detect the CTCSS tone frequency in the re-  
ceived signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmitted from  
the other station, you can determine the tone frequency required to  
communicate with them.

function.  
Any audio mute functions are cancelled  
while pushing the [MONI] switch.  
Inaudible condition: This condition  
mutes ALL signals except those directed  
to you. Therefore you should check a  
channels condition (busy or not) with the  
monitor function before transmitting.  
Push the [MONI] switch momentarily to  
select the inaudible condition.  
Only signals con-  
taining the proper  
tone are received

8 GLOSSARY  
What is squelch?  
A squelch circuit allows you to mute undesired noise while re-  
ceiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals.  
This provides quiet standby. The [MONI] key cancels the  
squelch setting. This is useful to listen to weak signals that  
do not open the squelch.  
Talk Range  
The IC-F22SR is designed to maximize performance and im-  
prove transmission range in the field. However, the single  
most important factor in transmit range (talk power) is your  
surrounding environment. These radios are line of sightra-  
dios and as such, transmission range is inuenced by the de-  
gree to which you can seethe other communicating party.  
Large concrete structures and heavy foliage or transmission  
from inside a building or vehicle will reduce your talk power.  
Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions.  
Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of  
sight.  
Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy fo-  
liage.

GLOSSARY

What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch Sys-  
tem) ?  
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) allows  
communication with silent stand by. Only signals containing  
your group code can open the squelch.  
This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in  
group activities or security related activities where unwanted  
output can be a problem. Note that CTCSS group mode is not  
privateanyone can receive your calls.  
The IC-F22SR is equipped with max. 52 tone codes for CTCSS  
use. Selecting a code applies it to all 8 operating channels.  
Each push of [PTT] superimposes your group code over your  
transmit signal; and, only signals containing the same code can  
open your squelch. To temporarily hear all signals (including  
noise) push and hold [MONI]. Do not use CTCSS if you want to  
be able to hear signals on all channels.  
Auto Scan function + Smart-Ring  
The Auto Scan function searches for signals automatically  
and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or lis-  
tening purposes. BUT because the Auto Scan function  
checks each operating channel for only a few moments, the  
transceiver's response accuracy to Smart-Ring calls is re-  
duced. Use one of CH 115 when you and your group are  
going to use the Smart-Ring function, otherwise the Smart-  
Ring function may fail to answer-back the call.
