INSTRUCTION MANUAL
144 MHz FM TRANSCEIVER
IC—-T2H
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.
Icom Inc.
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This in-
struction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-T2H.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.
| WORD | DEFINITION
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
CAUTIONS
/\WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the
antenna 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
(2 to 4 in) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
Z\WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume or discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or toa
power source of more than 16 V DC. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is
DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will
be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any
protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be
ruined.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be-
ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery
case but also the transceiver.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by chil-
dren.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below —10°C (+14°F) or above
460°C (+140°F).
The use of non-lcom battery packs/chargers may impair
transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from
the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the battery pack or installed Ni-Cd batteries will become ex-
hausted.
For USA only:
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

BATTERY PACKS
@ Battery pack charging
The supplied BP-194 BATTERY CASE includes rechargeable
Ni-Cd batteries* and can be charged approx. 300 times.
Charge the batteries before first operating the transceiver or
when they become exhausted.
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 completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging
just after transmitting becomes impossible.
*Not supplied with some versions.
@ Charging precautions
NEVER attempt to charge dry cell/alkaline batteries. This will
cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case
and transceiver.
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).
@ About battery packs
© Operating period
Depending on installed battery pack (batteries), the operating
period of the transceiver varies. Refer to p. 39 for operating
period details.
© Battery life
If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after being
fully charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then fully charge them again.
If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new
batteries must be purchased.
Recycling information (USA only)
i The product that you purchased contains a
& rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
mrav_~the end of its useful life, under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the
municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-8-BATTERY for battery
recycling options in your area or contact your dealer.
@ Charging connections
© Regular charging
When charging a battery case (pack) attached to the trans-

3 BATTERY PACKS
@ Installing batteries in the
battery case
When using a battery case attached to the transceiver, install
8 AA(R6) size Ni-Cd or alkaline batteries as illustrated below.
@ Remove the bat-
tery case from the
transceiver.
@ Install 8 x R6(AA)
size Ni-Cd or alka-
line batteries.
¢ Be sure to observe
the correct polarity.
@ NEVER connect DC power to the transceiver when in-
stalling dry cell or alkaline batteries. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.
@ Be careful of battery overcharging. When operating via ex-
ternal DC power, installed batteries are simultaneously
charged.
@ Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week.
M@ Power ON

Channel indication mode is used to simplify operation. In this
mode only pre-programmed memory channel numbers are
displayed and functions are limited ([PWR/VOL], [p L], [PTT],
[ ], [H/L] and [SC] are functional).

nals that do not open the squelch; or push [ @ ] twice to mon-
itor a signal without having to continuously hold [ ].
Squelch control: The transceiver employs a noise pulse
count system and therefore, squelch is adjusted automatically
when “AUto” is selected for the squelch level:
Push [SQL], then push [4]/[¥] one or more times until “AUto”
appears. Manual levels from “Sql 1” to “Sql 8” are also avail-
able to suit personal preferences and operating conditions.

If ANI mode is already on, resetting the CPU (see above) ef-
fectively turns ANI mode off.
@ General
The ANI (Automatic Number Identification) function is a
method of selective calling which features an answer back
function. This allows you to confirm whether or not a call has
reached the receiving party even if the operator is temporarily
away from the transceiver.
In order to use the IC-T2H’s ANI function, cloning is neces-
sary via a PC using the optional CS-T2 CLONING SOFTWARE.
Using this software, the transceiver’s individual ANI code,
group codes, ANI time-out timer and other settings related to
ANI operation can be set. Refer to the Read Me file that
comes with the CS-T2 CLONING software for available set-
tings.
Once ANI mode is programmed, the transceiver cannot use
frequency or channel display mode unless it is reprogrammed
from a PC using the CS-T2 CLONING SoFTWaRE or the CPU is
reset (see p. 30).

© Cloning using a PC
Data can be cloned to and from a PC (IBM compatible) using
the optional CS-T2 CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-
478 CLONING CABLE. The software is necessary to access the
IC-T2H’s ANI mode. Consult the CS-T2 CLONING SOFTWARE
HELP message for details.

4% NOTE: DO NOT push the [PTT] on the slave transceiver
“7, during cloning. This will cause a cloning error.
When the display at right appears, a
cloning error has occurred.
In such a case, both transceivers au-
tomatically return to clone standby condition and cloning must
be repeated.
