COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER  
iR3  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is sub-  
ject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause  
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

OPERATING THEORY  
Accessories included with the receiver:  
Qty.  
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-R3 re-  
ceives RF energy from 0.495 MHz* to 2450.00 MHz and con-  
verts 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.

*kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbrevia-  
tion of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of fre-  
quency.

OPERATING NOTES  
The IC-R3 may receive its own oscillated frequency, resulting  
in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies.  
r
t
The IC-R3 may receive interference from extremely strong  
signals on different frequencies or when using an external  
high-gain antenna.

Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean bat-  
Antenna  
tery terminals once a week.  
Insert the supplied antenna into the an-  
tenna connector and screw down the an-  
tenna as shown at right.  
Belt clip  
Conveniently attaches to  
your belt.  
Keep the jack cover attached when jack  
is not in use to avoid bad contacts from  
dust and moisture.  
Slide the belt clip into the  
plastic loop on the back  
of the receiver.  
Commercially available antennas (BNC)  
may increase receiver performance.  
Battery installation  
Handstrap (not supplied from Icom)  
Slide a commercially available handstrap through the loop on  
the side of the receiver or belt clip as illustrated below. Facil-  
itates carrying.  
q Remove the battery  
cover from the receiver.  
w For alkaline battery use,  
attach the supplied bat-  
tery spacer.

This function is used to listen to weak signals or to open the  
tone squelch manually.  
Push and hold [SQL] to monitor the operating frequency.  
RX” flashes while monitoring.  
Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of  
the radio signals. The receiver has 3 receive modes: FM, AM  
and WFM modes. TV and ATV (ATV type only) also use WFM  
mode. The mode selection is stored independently in each  
band and memory channels.  
The [SQL] switch can be set to stickyoperation in set  
mode. (p. 41)  
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations  
(0.4951.620 MHz) and air band (118135.995 MHz), and  
WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76107.9 MHz).

BATTERY CHARGING

Recommended temperature range for charging:  
0°C to +35°C; +32°F to +95°F  
I Battery cautions  
Use the wall charger (BC-136A/D*) or optional desktop  
charger (BC-135 for rapid charging) only. NEVER use an-  
other manufacturescharger.  
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas  
may cause an explosion.  
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack  
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to  
the receiver.  
*Not supplied with some versions.  
An optional cable CP-18A/E (for 12 V cigarette lighter  
socket) can be used in-stead of the AC adapters of the  
above chargers.  
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may  
ow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-  
tery packs in handbags, etc.  
CAUTION: BE SURE to remove the CP-18A/E when charg-  
ing is finished, because, a slight current still follows in the  
CP-18A/E and the vehicles battery will become exhausted.  
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after  
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power  
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the  
battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a  
new battery pack must be purchased.  
Battery pack installation  
q Remove the battery cover from the receiver.  
w Remove the supplied battery spacer for alkaline battery  
use.  
e Install the Li-Ion battery pack (BP-206).  
Be sure to observe the correct direction.  
Charge Li-Ion battery pack before use.  
Use Icom battery packs, chargers or cables only. The use of  
non-Icom products may impair receiver performance and in-  
validate the warranty.  
Battery pack installation  
Battery pack removal  
I Battery charging  
Prior to using the receiver for the rst time, the battery pack  
must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.  
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the receiver, turn it OFF
