SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-2100H/-T. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be impeded or where it may cause bodily injury. Select the operating frequency (p. 15), the memory channel (p. 26), the contents of the set mode display and the scan direction (p. 37).
There are 3 duplex options available: minus duplex (“DUP–” is displayed), plus duplex (“DUP” is displayed) and simplex (no indicator is displayed). In memory and call channel mode, the alphanumeric channel indication toggles ON and OFF. A small "c" is displayed when VFO mode is selected from the call channel or a scratch pad memory.

SETTING A FREQUENCY
3 SETTING A FREQUENCY
➁To change the frequency in 1 MHz increments (10 MHz for some versions), press [V/MHz] and then rotate the setting dial. Tuning steps are the smallest steps of frequency change when you turn the tuning dial or press the [Y]/[Z] keys on the microphone. NOTE: For convenience, select a tuning step that matches the frequency ranges of repeaters in your area.
When a digit is entered by mistake, press [ENT] to clear the entry, then re-enter from the 1st digit.
4 BASIC OPERATION
BASIC OPERATION
The PTT switch can be used as a one-touch PTT switch (each push toggles transmit/receive).
REPEATER OPERATION
5 REPEATER OPERATION
➀Select the mode/channel you want to set the subaudible tone encoder frequency to, such as VFO mode or memory/call channel. ➁Press [SET] one or more times until “T” and “rT” appear for repeater use; or until "T SQL" and "CT" appear for tone squelch or bag beep use. The display shows that an 88.5 Hz subaudible tone frequency is set for repeater use.
USING THE SET MODE ÄSet the mode/channel you want to set the sub-audio tone encoder frequency to, such as VFO mode, call memory/channel or scratch pad memory. ➀Select the mode/channel where you want to set the frequency of the sub-audible tone, such as VFO mode or memory/recall channel. USING SET MODES ÄSet the mode/channel to which you want to set the offset frequency, such as VFO mode, call memory/channel or scratch pad memory.
The USA version automatically enables the repeater settings (DUP or – DUP and tone encoder ON/OFF) when the operating frequency falls within the general range of the repeater output frequency and disables them when out of range. ➂Press [SET] one or more times until the “RPt” screen appears as shown below. This function helps prevent interference to other stations by interrupting your transmission when a signal is received.
➂Press [SET] one or more times until the “RLO” screen appears as shown below. ➃Rotate the tuning knob to turn the repeater lock function to “RP”, “BU” or OFF.
6 MEMORY OPERATION
MEMORY OPERATION
Enter other data (eg, offset frequency, bidirectionality, ON/OFF subaudible tone encoder and its frequency), if necessary. 3 beeps may sound and the VFO contents (including sub-audible tone frequency, etc.) are programmed. This is useful when searching for signals around the frequency of the memory channel and to remember the offset frequency, the frequency of the sub-audible tone, etc.
➁Push [S.MW] momentarily, then rotate the mode dial to select another memory channel to transfer. ➂ Press and hold [(S.MW)MW] to transfer when a short press was used in the previous step. Press [Y] or [Z] to select the memory channel; or press [REPEAT] and then press the desired memory channel number (3 digits) to select the memory channel directly.
ÅPress [FUNC] then [EMW] momentarily, then press [Y] or [Z] to select another memory channel to transfer. To transfer to the VFO, press [FUNC] then press and hold [EMW] instead of pressing momentarily. Each memory channel and the call channel can be programmed with an alphanumeric name such as a repeater name, club name, etc., for easy recognition.

9 SCAN OPERATION
SCAN OPERATION
If the same frequency is programmed into a pair of scan edges, the programmed scan will not work. The memory channel number moves to the next scan edge channel (1b to 3b) as you continue to press [EMW]. The skip memory feature speeds up scanning by checking only those memory channels that are not set as skip channels.
➂Rotate the tuning knob to enable or disable the skip function for the selected channel. Although edge scan channels cannot be set as skip channels, they are skipped during memory scanning. To set them as skip channels, first press and hold [ANM] for 1 second, then set as described above.
➀Press [SET] one or more times until “SCT” or “SCP” appears as shown above.

POCKET BEEP AND TONE SQUELCH
By monitoring the signal emitted at the input frequency of the repeater, you can determine the frequency of the tone required to open the repeater. ➂When the tone frequency is matched, the damper opens and the tone frequency is temporarily programmed into the selected mode, such as VFO, memory/call channel, or memo memory. The frequency of the decoded tone is applied to the tone encoder or tone encoder/decoder depending on the Tone Attenuator ON/OFF setting.
ÇWhen the tone frequency matches, the squelch opens and the tone frequency is programmed into the selected mode such as VFO, memory/call channel or scratchpad memory. NOTE: The decoded tone frequency is temporarily programmed when a memory or call channel is selected.
WIRELESS OPERATION
HM-90 WIRELESS MICROPHONE
13 WIRELESS OPERATION
Lights up red while a key is pressed; lights green while the one-touch PTT function is in use. The transceiver has 8 possible microphone addresses (including OFF) to prevent interference from other HM-90 wireless microphones. Set both the microphone address and the microphone dip switch to the same value as follows.
NOTE: When the supplied microphone is connected, the transceiver rejects control signals from the HM-90 even when the microphone address matches. ➁Set the microphone dip switch and the microphone address to the same value as shown below.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
14 OTHER FUNCTIONS
➁While pressing the desired switch on the transceiver and [F-1] or [F-2] on the microphone, turn on the power. The following functions are assigned to the [F-1]/[F-2] keys when the power is first turned on or after resetting the CPU. F-2]: selects a tone function or none at all; press and hold to start the tone scan, press again to stop the tone scan.
To disable the demonstration display permanently, turn the power off and then on again while pressing [T-SCAN]. The European version of the IC-2100H complies with European regulations regarding narrow FM bandwidth operation on amateur transceivers. Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed content from one transceiver to another; or , data from a PC to a transceiver using the optional CS-2100.
➀ Connect the OPC-474 cloning cable with adapter plugs to the [SP] connector of the master and slave transceivers. ➁While pressing [M/CALL] (second switch from right) x, turn power ON to enter cloning mode (master transceiver only—turn on for slave transceiver only). Data can be cloned to and from a PC (IBM compatible) using the optional CS-2100 CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-478 CLONING CABLE.
In such a case, both transmitters automatically return to the clone standby state and cloning must be repeated.
15 MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
If the fuse blows or the transceiver stops working, find the cause of the problem if possible and replace the damaged fuse with a new one rated (FGB 20 A) as shown below. If you wish to initialize the operating conditions without clearing the memory contents, etc., a partial reset function is available for the transceiver.
