QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
■ Your first contact
Now that you have your IC-P7A ready, you are probably ex-
cited to get on the air. We would like to take you through a
few basic steps to make your first experience “On The Air” en-
joyable.
D About default settings
The [DIAL] control function can be exchanged with the
[
YY
]/[
ZZ
] key functions by pushing and holding [FUNC] then
push [
YY
] or [
ZZ
]. However, in this QUICK REFERENCE
GUIDE, the factory default setting ([DIAL] sets operating fre-
quency) is used to simplify the instructions.
D Basic operation
1. Turning ON the transceiver
➥ Push and hold [PWR] for 1
sec. to turn the power ON.
• Opening indication passes
through, then frequency indica-
tion appears.
The opening indication can
be skipped. While pushing
and holding [FUNC], push
and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to
shortcut the opening indica-
tion.
2. Adjusting audio level
➥ Push [
YY
]/[
ZZ
] to set the desired audio level.
3. Adjusting squelch level
➥ While pushing and holding [SQL] (
