WORDDEFINITION R WARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. CAUTIONEquipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of person- al injury, fire or electric shock. ii PRECAUTIONS RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. RCAUTION! NEVER change the internal set- tings of the receiver. This may reduce receiver perfor- mance and/or damage to the receiver. The receiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment. RCAUTION!The receiver weighs approx. 20 kg (44 lb). Always have two people available to carry, lift or turn over the receiver. RCAUTION!The line-voltage receptacle must be near the receiver and must be easily accessible. Avoid extension cords. RACHTUNG!Die Steckdose muß nabe bei diesem Gerät angebracht und zugänglich sein. RNEVERlet metal, wire or other objects protrude into the receiver or into connectors on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock. RNEVERblock any cooling vents on the top, rear or bottom of the receiver. RNEVERexpose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. RNEVERinstall the receiver in a place without ad- equate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the receiver may be damaged. RNEVERoperate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage to the receiver. DO NOTuse chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning the IC-R9500, as they can dam- age the receiver’s surfaces. AVOIDusing or storing the receiver in areas with tem- peratures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C (+122°F). AVOIDplacing the receiver in excessively dusty envi- ronments or in direct sunlight. AVOIDplacing the receiver against walls or putting anything on top of the receiver. This may overheat the receiver. Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadver- tent use by children. The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a mal- function or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD displays. During maritime mobile operation, keep the receiver as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. Turn [I/O] switch (on the rear panel) OFF and/or dis- connect the AC power cable from the AC outlet when you will not use the receiver for a long period of time. For U.S.A. only CAUTION:Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.

4-19 4 RECEIVE MODES ■Digital squelch operation While in P25 mode operation, 2 types of digital squelch, NAC or Selective, are available. qSet the desired frequency and select P25 mode. wPush [D.SQL] to turn the digital squelch function ON. • “NAC” or “SEL”appears when the digital squelch func- tion is ON. ePush and hold [D.SQL] for 1 sec. to enter P25 digi- tal squelch set mode. rPush [F-1•Y] or [F-2•Z] to select the items, “NAC,” “TGID” or “Unit ID.” tPush [F-5•EDIT] to enter digital code programming. • A cursor appears and blinks. • Push [F-1•Ω] or [F-2•≈] for cursor movement. • Push [F-3•DEL] to delete the selected code. • Using the receiver’s keypad, [0]–[9], can also enter nu- merals. • Multifunction switch guide changes to the additional keys, [A]–[F], for hexadecimal input. yPush [F-5•SET] to input and set the code. • The cursor disappears. uPush [EXIT/SET] to return to the previous indica- tion. iWhen the received signal includes a matching code, squelch opens and the signal can be heard. • When the received signal’s code does not match, digital squelch does not open, however, the S-indicator shows signal strength. oTo open the digital squelch manually, push [MONI]. • The digital squelch opens temporarily while pushing and holding [MONI]. !0To cancel digital squelch, push [D.SQL] several times to clear the digital squelch. • “NAC” or “SEL” disappears and “OFF” appears. • Digital squelch set mode [EXIT/SET] [MONI][DIGITAL]Main dial[D.SQL] [F-1•Y] [F-2•Z] [F-5•EDIT] 5-1 RECEIVE FUNCTIONSSection5 ■Spectrum scope screen ...................................................... 5-2 DCenter mode .................................................................. 5-2 DFix mode ........................................................................ 5-3 DPeak marker function ...................................................... 5-4 DWide band-pass filter selection............................................. 5-5 DWide band scope function ................................................... 5-5 DMini scope screen indication ............................................. 5-6 DScope set mode ............................................................... 5-6 ■Preamplifier ........................................................................ 5-9 ■Attenuator ........................................................................ 5-9 ■AGC function ..................................................................... 5-10 DSelecting the preset value ................................................5-10 DAdjusting the AGC time constant .......................................5-10 DSetting the AGC time constant preset value ........................5-10 ■Twin PBT operation ............................................................ 5-11 ■IF filter selection ............................................................... 5-12 DIF filter selection ............................................................ 5-12 DFilter passband width setting ............................................. 5-12 DRoofing filter selection ...................................................... 5-13 DDSP filter shape ............................................................ 5-13 DFilter shape set mode ...................................................... 5-13 ■Noise blanker .................................................................. 5-15 DNB set mode .................................................................. 5-15 ■Noise reduction .................................................................. 5-16 ■Notch function .................................................................. 5-16 ■Autotune function ............................................................... 5-17 ■AFC function ..................................................................... 5-17 5-2 ■Spectrum scope screen This DSP-based spectrum scope allows you to display the conditions on the selected band, as well as relative strengths of signals. The IC-R9500 has two modes for the spectrum indication— one is center mode, and an- ther one is fixed mode. In addition, the IC-R9500 has a mini-scope screen to save screen space. D Center mode Displays signals around the set frequency within the selected span. The set frequency is always displayed at the center of the screen. qPush [EXIT/SET] several times to close a multi- function screen, if necessary. wPush [F-1•SCOPE] to select the scope screen. • The spectrum scope shows the peak level holding func- tion. Peak levels are displayed in the background of the current spectrum in a different color until the receive fre- quency changes. This can be deactivated and the wave- form color can be set in scope set mode. (p. 5-7) ePush [F-6•CENT/FIX] to select the center mode. • “” is displayed when center mode is selected. rPush [F-2•SPAN] once. • Multifunction switch guide changes to the span setting guide. tPush [SPAN+] or [SPAN–] several times to select the scope span. • ±2.5 k, ±5.0 k, ±10 k, ±25 k, ±50 k, ±100 k, ±250 k, ±500 k, ±1 M, ±2.5 M and ±5 MHz are available. yPush [F-3•BW/SPEED] once. • Multifunction switch guide changes to the resolution band width/speed setting guide. uPush [BW+] or [BW–] several times to select the resolution band width. • 0.2 k, 0.5 k, 1 k, 2 k, 5 k, 10 k and 20 kHz are available. iPush [SPEED–] or [SPEED+] several times to se- lect the sweep speed. oPush [F-4•ATT] several times to activate an attenu- ator or turn the attenuator OFF. • 10, 20 and 30 dB attenuators are available. !0Push [F-5•HOLD] to freeze the current spectrum waveform. • “” appears while the function is in use. • The peak hold function can be deactivated in scope set mode. !1Push [EXIT/SET] to exit the scope screen. NOTE:If a strong signal is received, a ghost wave- form may appear. Push [F-4•ATT] several times to activate the spectrum scope attenuator in this case. Spurious signal waveforms may be displayed if gen- erated in the internal scope circuit and do not indi- cate a receiver malfunction.…
