■ Battery installation
Before installing, or replacing the batteries, hold down []
for 1 second to turn the power OFF.
q
Remove the battery cover from the receiver.
Latch
w Install two AA (LR6) size Ni-MH batteries.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
■ Caution
• R DANGER! NEVER short the battery terminals (or charg-
ing terminals on the bottom of the receiver). Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so
be careful when placing batteries (or the receiver) in hand-
bags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the batteries, but also the receiver.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used batteries. Internal
battery gas may cause an explosion.
•
R DANGER! NEVER immerse the batteries in water. If the
batteries become wet, be sure to wipe them dry BEFORE
installing them to the receiver.
• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same
brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old bat-
teries together.
• Never use batteries whose insulated covering is damaged.
• Keep battery terminals clean to avoid rust or misscontact.
It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
D Caution for the Ni-MH batteries
• CAUTION: Always use the batteries within the speci-
fied temperature range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚F to +140˚F).
Using the batteries out of their specified temperature range
will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.

• CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the batteries
are left completely discharged, or in an excessive temper-
ature environment (above +55˚C; +131˚F) for an extended
period of time. If the batteries must be left unused for a
long time, they must be detached from the receiver after
charging. Keep them safely in a cool dry place at the fol-
lowing temperature range:
–20˚C to +45˚C (–4˚F to +113˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F) (up to a year*)
* We recommend charging the batteries every 6 months.
• If your Ni-MH batteries seem to have no capacity, even
after being charged, completely discharge them by leaving
the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the batteries
again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or only
very little charge), a new batteries must be purchased.
Prior to using the receiver for the first time, the batteries
must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• The supplied batteries are rechargeable batteries.
Charge the batteries before first operating the receiver, or
when the batteries become exhausted.
If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points
should be observed:
- Avoid over charging.
- Use the batteries until it becomes almost completely ex-
hausted, under normal conditions.
D Charging caution
• R WARNING!NEVER charge alkaline batteries.
The receiver can charge only the Ni-MH batteries (1.2 V,
1400 mAH typical). Other types of rechargeable battery,
such as Ni-Cd or Li-Ion cannot be charged.
• AVOID over charging— The installed rechargeable batter-
ies can be charged during operation when the AC adapter
or the cigarette lighter cable is connected. To prevent over
charging, the IC-R6 has charging timer that automatically
disconnecting* the charging line electronically after 15 hours
from charging. However, the charging timer will reset and
start charging again when disconnect then reconnecting the
AC adapter or CP-18A/E more than 1 minute interval.
* When the “CHARGE” setting in the Set mode is set to “CHG2 (default),”
the receiver continues to trickle charge after 15 hours have past.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
between 0°C (+32˚F) and +40°C (+104˚F) by the receiver.
• Use the BC-196SA/SD/BC-153SC AC adapter or CP-18A/
E cigarette liter cable only. NEVER use other manufactur-
ers’ chargers.
• The external DC power supply voltage must be between
12–16 V to charge the batteries and for operation when
using an optional CP-18A/E.
• If the battery icons (“” and “”) disappear only
1 minute after connecting to the DC power supply, the bat-
teries may have problem. In this case, contact your Icom
dealer/distributor, or purchase new batteries.

tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for a
specified signal using the same tone or code.
D Reverse tone/DTCS squelch
The reverse tone/DTCS squelch is convenient if you want
to ignore a specific signal. The receiver mutes the squelch
when a signal with the matched tone or code is received.

done.
➥
While holding down [FUNC] and [TS], turn the power ON
to partially reset the receiver.
■ All reset
The function display may occasionally display erroneous
information (e.g. when first applying power). This may be
caused externally by static electricity or by other factors.
If this problem occurs, turn power OFF. After waiting a few
seconds, turn power ON again. If the problem persists, per-
form the following procedure.
• Partial resetting is also available. See the details to the left.
IMPORTANT:
Resetting the receiver CLEARS all memory information
and initializes all values in the receiver.
The preprogrammed (depending on the receiver version)
memory information is also cleared.
➥
While holding down [FUNC] and [V/M], turn the power
ON to reset the CPU.
*The displayed frequency
differs, depending on the
receiver version.

■General
The IC-R6 can be connected to a PC via the PC’s RS-232C
port using an optional CT-17
CI-V LEVEL CONVERTER. This
allows you to control the receiver from the PC and/or transfer
data from the receiver to the PC.
Control is provided via Icom’s CI-V Communication Interface.
An appropriate application for CI-V command is not sup-
plied from Icom.
■Data format
The CI-V system can be operated using the following data
formats. Data formats differ according to command numbers.
