Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000  
Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy  
because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R10 re-  
ceives RF energy from 0.5 MHz to 1300 MHz* and converts it  
into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a  
loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is in the  
range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.

Ni-Cd BATTERIES AND ACCESSORIES  
ICharging Ni-Cd batteries  
IAbout Ni-Cd batteries  
The supplied Ni-Cd batteries are rechargeable and can be  
charged approx. 300 times. Charge the batteries before rst  
operating the receiver or when the batteries become ex-  
hausted.  
Ni-Cd battery life  
If your Ni-Cd batteries seems to have no capacity even after  
being fully charged, completely discharge them by leaving the  
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the Ni-Cd batteries  
again. If the Ni-Cd batteries still do not retain a charge (or  
very little), new batteries must be purchased.  
If you want to be able to charge the batteries more than 300  
times, the following points should be observed:  
1. Avoid overcharging. The charging period should be less  
than 48 hours.  
2. Use the batteries until they become almost completely ex-  
hausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery  
charging just after receiving becomes impossible.  
Recycling information (U.S.A. only)  
The product that you purchased contains  
rechargeable batteries. The batteries are recy-  
clable. At the end of their useful life, under vari-  
Ni-Cd  
ous state and local laws, it may be illegal to  
dispose of these batteries into the municipal waste stream.  
Call 1-800-8-BATTERY for battery recycling options in your  
area or contact your dealer.  
ICharging precautions  
NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. This will cause  
internal liquid leakage and damage the receiver.  
NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time.  
Charging may not occur under temperatures of 10°C (50°F)  
or over temperatures of 40°C (104°F).

BASIC OPERATION  
IGeneral  
ISelecting VFO mode  
Operating the IC-R10 is easy. However,  
in order to get the most out of its oper-  
ating potential, please go through the  
following procedures, step-by-step.  
Then, try the examples contained at the  
end of this chapter.  
2. Adjust the volume  
1. Turn power ON  
Adjust the audio to a suitable level  
using [VOL].  
Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn  
power ON.  
Opening message is displayed for 1  
sec.  
What is VFO?  
The IC-R10 has several operating  
modes, each of which has its own dis-  
tinct  
functions.  
VFO  
(Variable  
Frequency Operation) is one of these  
modes.  
VFO mode is used to change the oper-  
ating frequency, receive mode, tuning  
step, etc. Therefore, for most every day  
operations of the receiver, you will be  
using VFO mode.  
VFO  
FM  
Check the squelch position (see next  
page) or VSC function setting (p. 38)  
if no audio is emitted.

A squelch circuit allows you to mute  
undesired noise while receiving no  
signal and emit audio while receiving  
signals. This provides quiet standby.  
The [MONI] switch changes the  
squelch setting. This is useful for  
weak signal reception (p. 64).

BASIC OPERATION  
ISelecting a tuning step  
What are tuning steps?  
1. Call up the tuning step  
set mode  
2. Select the tuning step  
Tuning steps are the frequency change  
increments when you rotate the tuning  
control or operate a scan. The following  
steps are available: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 6.25,  
8, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100  
kHz and user programmable tuning  
steps (p. 66).  
Once you have selected VFO mode  
and the desired receive mode, while  
pushing [FUNC], push [(MODE)TS].  
Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired  
tuning step.  
Push [CLR] to return to VFO mode  
after the selection.  
It is important to set the proper tuning  
step for the type of station you want to  
listen to. Some tuning steps are deter-  
mined by frequency band or receive  
mode and others are set by tradition.  
1
Generally speaking, if you set a tuning  
step smaller than that needed you will  
still be able to tune a station you want  
(or scan it), however, tuning (or scan-  
ning) will not be efcient. On the other  
hand, if you select a tuning step which  
is too large, you may not be able to nd  
the station you are looking for.

BASIC OPERATION 3  
ITuning a frequency (via the keypad)  
When you know the exact frequency  
you want to listen to, the quickest way  
to tune it is by direct keypad entry.  
1. Select the frequency  
2. Enter the frequency  
Select VFO mode and the receive  
mode in advance then:  
Push the numeral keys in the same  
order as the frequency you want to  
tune (including the decimal key).  
When the frequency you want is dis-  
played:  
Push [ENT] (or numeral keys for the  
0.1 kHz digit) to enter it.  
Remember that the frequency must be  
between 0.5 MHz and 1300 MHz.

est way to tune them is with the tuning  
dial.  
a receive mode  
qPush [CLR] or [V/M] to select VFO  
mode.  
Rotate [DIAL] to change the fre-  
quency.  
All signals have what is called an oc-  
cupied bandwidth.They will be re-  
ceived as long as the receiver is tuned  
anywhere within this bandwidth. Even  
though the frequency received may not  
be the central frequency, the tuning  
step should be made as small as pos-  
sible (0.5 or 5 kHz) and the receiver  
tuned to the point of greatest signal  
strength indicator deection.  
The frequency changes in increments  
determined by the tuning step.  
To change the frequency faster, use the  
dial select function (p. 16).  
wPush [MODE] to select a receive  
mode.  
eSet tuning step if desired (p. 14).  
To change frequencies faster than the  
tuning step, use the dial select function  
(p. 16).

What are dial select steps?  
Push and hold [FUNC], then rotate [DIAL].  
When tuning with the dial, if you want to change the fre-  
quency faster than the selected tuning step can, use the dial  
select function.  
To change the dial select step:  
While pushing [FUNC], push [(SCAN)DIAL SEL] one or sev-  
eral times until the frequency digit you want to change  
ashes.  
A dial select step is an increment of frequency change much  
like a tuning step is. Unlike a tuning step however, a dial se-  
lect step has no relation to the type of station you want to tune  
or to the scan operations.

BASIC OPERATION  
IBand scope function  
What is the band scope function?  
Preparation  
The band scope detects signal availability in the range of ±5  
channels (up to ±100 kHz) from the displayed frequency, and  
displays the result on the multi function dot-matrix display.  
This gives you a visual reference of current band conditions.  
The band scope function is activated only when FM receive  
mode is selected in VFO mode.  
qPush [V/M] to select VFO mode. (p. 11)  
wPush [MODE] one or more times to select FM mode.  
(p. 12)  
eWhile pushing [FUNC], push [(MODE)TS]  
rRotate [DIAL] to select the tuning/sweep step.  
tPush [CLR] to return to VFO mode.  
In this case, channel refers to sweep step or channel space  
according to the set tuning step. For example, when the tun-  
ing step is set to 5 kHz, the band scope detects 25 kHz above  
and below the displayed frequency, then displays the result  
on the LCD.  
When the tuning step is set above 20 kHz, the band scope  
function automatically changes its sweep step to 20 kHz.  
However, when the sweep step is changed to 20 kHz, the  
tuning step remains the same.

Also, when a user-programmable tuning step is selected, the  
band scope function automatically selects the 20 kHz sweep  
step.

MEMORY MODE  
IGeneral  
ISelecting MEMORY mode  
What is memory mode?  
Select MEMORY mode  
MEMORY mode is the second operating modethe first  
being VFO mode. MEMORY mode is used to store often-  
used frequencies, their receive modes, attenuator settings  
(p. 65), as well as skip information for scanning (p. 56). This  
provides convenient recall and scanning capabilities. Also,  
frequencies are receivable in MEMORY mode which means  
you can listen to received signals while you are in MEMORY  
mode.  
Push [V/M] to select MEMORY mode.  
MEMOappears in the function display.  
Push [V/M] again to return to VFO mode.  
The IC-R10 has 1000 memory channels for your conve-  
nience. They are divided into 18 banks: BANKS A to P con-  
tain 50 channels each for normal usage, while BANKS Q and  
R contain 100 channels each for auto-memory write scan  
(p. 41) and program skip scan (p. 45), respectively.  
Appears  
MEMO  
FM  
Each BANK and memory channel has BANK or memory  
name capabilities, for convenience. BANK names can be up  
to 10 characters; channel names up to 8 characters.  
Programmed contents and names can be easily copied to  
other channels using the memory copy function (p. 33) and  
easily edited using the EDIT function (p. 51).

SCANNING OPERATION 5  
During auto-memory write scanning:  
Busy (paused) frequencies are automatically stored into  
BANK Q memory channels.  
The scan is automatically cancelled when BANK Q becomes  
full.  
Unmodulated or beat signals may not be stored into mem-  
ory channels when the VSC function is turned ON.  
While pushing [FUNC], push [(V/M)MW] when unwanted sig-  
nals (ones you dont want to store) are received.  
For your convenience:  
Auto-memory write scan automatically clears all previously  
stored information when it is started. Therefore, it is a good  
idea to copy desired frequency data memorized during  
auto-memory write scan into BANK A to Ps memory chan-  
nels before operating the scan.
