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 first
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

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.

RF gain controls receive sensitivity
gain—reduce the gain when you
don’t want to receive very weak sig-
nals or when excessively strong in-
terfering signals are being received,
etc.
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 efficient. On the other
hand, if you select a tuning step which
is too large, you may not be able to find
the station you are looking for.

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.

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 deflection.
•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.

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
flashes.
A dial select step is an increment of frequency change much
like a tuning step is. Unlike a tuning step however, a dial se-

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 mode—the 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.
•“MEMO” appears 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).

Scan types
The IC-R10 has 2 major scan types: PROGRAMMED SCAN
and MEMORY SCAN. These, in turn, can be subdivided into
3 variations of each, making a total of 6 scan operations.
Additional scanning functions are available to “fine tune”
scanning operation.

SCANNING OPERATION
IBefore scanning
Set the following conditions before
scanning.
1. Set receive mode
2. Set the volume and
squelch levels
Set any receive mode EXCEPT USB,
LSB and CW.
Set [VOL] to a suitable audio output
level.
Set [SQL] so that the noise audio is
just muted.
INFORMATION
What happens when you rotate the tun-
ing dial during scanning?
While scanning—
Scanning direction is changed.
Example:
If you rotate [DIAL] counterclockwise
while scanning up (frequency/memory
channel number increase), scan
changes to down scanning (fre-
quency/memory channel number de-
crease).
The squelch control activates for RF
gain control while USB, LSB, or CW
mode is selected. RF gain control
does not activate for audio noise
muting, therefore, the receiver is in a
busy condition at all times. In such
case, searching speed is either very
slow or searching doesn’t even start.
While pausing—
Scanning starts again (pause is can-
celled).

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 don’t 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 P’s memory chan-
nels before operating the scan.
