D VFO mode selection The IC-V3500 has two basic operating modes, the VFO mode and the Memory mode.  Push [V/MHz SCAN] to select the VFO mode.  Push [M/CALL PRIO] several times to select the Memory, Call, Marine, or Weather Channel mode. D Setting a frequency 1. Push [V/MHz SCAN] to select the VFO mode. 2. Rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency. • The frequency changes according to the selected tuning step.  Push [V/MHz SCAN] several times to change the frequency step between 10 MHz and 1 MHz. D Tuning step selection The selected tuning step is applied to the scan. Option (kHz): 5.0, 6.25, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0 NOTE: For convenience, select the tuning step that matches the frequency intervals of the repeaters in your area. 1. Push [V/MHz SCAN] to select the VFO mode. 2. Push [SET LOCK] to enter the Set mode. 3. Push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA] several times, until "TS" is displayed. 4. Rotate [DIAL] to select the tuning step. 5. Push any key other than [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA] to save the entry and exit the Set mode. D Call channel selection  Push [M/CALL PRIO] several times to select the Call channel. • A "C" is displayed instead of a Memory channel number.  Push [M/CALL PRIO] more to select the Memory, Call, Marine, or Weather Channel mode, or push [V/MHz SCAN] to select the VFO mode. D Receiving 1. Hold down [ ] for 1 second to turn ON the transceiver. 2. Rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio level.  Push [MONI ANM PA] to open the squelch, and then rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio level. 3. Adjust the squelch level, as described below.  First, rotate [SQL] fully counterclockwise, and then rotate [SQL] clockwise until the noise just disappears. 4. Set the operating frequency. 5. When receiving a signal, the squelch opens, and audio can be heard.  "BUSY" is displayed, and the S/RF indicator shows the relative strength of the received signal. D Transmitting CAUTION: DO NOT transmit without an antenna. NOTE: To prevent interference, listen to the channel before transmitting by opening the squelch. To open the squelch, rotate [DIAL] counterclockwise or push [SQL▼] on the microphone. 1. Set the operating frequency. • Adjust the output power if desired. See the Selecting output power section of this sheet. 2. Hold down [PTT] to transmit. • " " is displayed while transmitting.  The S/RF indicator shows the output power level.  The One-Touch PTT function can be used. 3. Speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.  DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth, or speak too loudly. This may distort the signal. 4. Release [PTT] to receive. NOTE: When the TX Inhibit is set to "Inhibit," you cannot transmit. (Set in the CS-V3500 PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE.) IMPORTANT for 65 W transmission: The IC-V3500 has a built-in current detector circuit that protects the power amplifier from excessive current flow. When excessive current flow is detected, the circuit automatically reduces the transmit output power to approximately 25 Watts. The IC-V3500 has a thermal detector circuit too, which protects the power amplifier from excessive heat. The circuit automatically reduces the transmit output power to approximately 10 to 20 Watts as the temperature increases. D Lock function Activate to prevent accidental channel changes and unnecessary function access.  Hold down [SET LOCK] for 1 second to turn the Lock function ON or OFF.  When the function is ON, " " is displayed.  [PTT], [MONI ANM PA], [VOL], and [SQL] can be used, even when the function is ON.  1750 Hz tone, DTMF, Tones or DTMF Memory contents can be transmitted from the HM-133V. I Set modes D Using the Set mode 1. Push [SET LOCK] to enter the Set mode. 2. Push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA] to select a desired item. 3. Rotate [DIAL] to set an option or value. 4.

NOTE: When using the Monitor function The Squelch Attenuator function works even when the Monitor function is ON. It is recommended to set [SQL] between 10 and 12 o'clock (7 to 17 level when set using the HM-133V). D S-meter Squelch The S-meter Squelch function disables the audio output from the speaker or headphones when the received signal is weaker than the specified S-meter squelch level. Turn ON the S-meter Squelch function: 1. Hold down [ ] for 1 second to turn OFF the transceiver. 2. While holding down [SET LOCK], hold down [ ] for 1 second to turn ON the transceiver and enter the Initial Set mode. 3. Push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA] several times to select the "SQL" item. 4. Rotate [DIAL] to select "SS" (S-meter squelch). 5. Push [ ] to exit the Initial Set mode. 6. Rotate [SQL] clockwise past the 12 o'clock position to turn ON the S-meter Squelch function. D Selecting output power Set the output power level to suit your operating requirements. Lower output power during short-distance communications may reduce the possibility of interference to other stations and reduce the current consumption.  Push [LOW DUP]. • The output power level is changed and the selected level is displayed.  If no output power icon is displayed, the level is set to "High."  The level can be changed even while transmitting.
