FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing the IC-4008E LPD (Low Power De-
vice) FM transceiver. This LPD FM transceiver meets the Euro-
pean LPD specification (ETS 300 220). This transceiver is
designed for those who require top-grade quality, performance
and outstanding reliability under the most demanding condi-
tions.

FEATURES
● Free of user-license and applications
● All 69 LPD channels are available
● 38 convenient group channels
● Water-resistant construction

■ ATS (Automatic Transponder System)

This convenient function automatically checks station availability
within the operating range, and alerts you via function display in-
dication. (p. 17)
In addition, a manual transponder is also available for “GROUP
MODE” operation to check availability of stations in a specified
group within the operating range. In this case, the transceiver
alerts you via beeps. (p. 11)

■ WATER-RESISTANT* CONSTRUCTION
Water-resistant* construction is employed. Can be used any-
where, anytime.
*Meets JIS water-protection specification grade 4.
■ GROUP MODE (BUILT-IN CTCSS: Continuous Tone
Coded Squelch System)
CTCSS encoder/decoder are standard, providing quiet stand-by.
Audio (voice) signals are output only when a signal with matched
CTCSS tone signal is received—very helpful for group commu-
nications. In addition, 38 different CTCSS frequencies are avail-
able. (p. 11)
■ 2 types of “Ring” function
The “Smart-Ring” function and the “Call-Ring” function are avail-
able for smart and simple station calls providing a telephone-
style ring when called. 10 different ringing tones are available.

IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely
before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL–This instruction
manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-
4008E LPD transceiver.

CAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an-
tenna 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.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +55°C
(+131°F).
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans-

ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

IC-4008E-2 02.3.23 3:26 PM Page 11 (1,1)

BATTERY PACKS 3
‘ Battery pack charging
The optional BP-202 BATTERY PACK includes rechargeable Ni-Cd
batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery
pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack
becomes exhausted.

If you want to be able to charge the battery pack 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 battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging just
after transmitting becomes impossible.

‘ Charging precautions
NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. This will cause inter-
nal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiver.
Recommended temperature range for charging: + 10˚C to + 40˚C
(or + 50˚F to +104˚F).

‘ About the battery pack

D Operating period
Depending on the attached battery pack, the operating period of
the transceiver varies. Refer to p. 7 for operating period details.

D Battery pack life

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being
fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON all
day. Then, fully charge the battery pack again.
If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a new
battery pack must be purchased.

ADAPTER.
w Insert the battery pack, either by itself or attached to the trans-
ceiver, into the charger.

✔ What is squelch?
A squelch circuit allows you to mute undesired noise while re-
ceiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals.
This provides quiet standby. The [MODE] key changes the
squelch setting. This is useful to listen to weak signals that do
not open the squelch.

(10 to 15 cm) from your mouth and speak at a normal voice
level.

NOTE:
The transceiver has an auto power save function to conserve
the battery power. The power save function activates automati-
cally when no signal is received for 5 sec.

6 GROUP MODE (CTCSS)

‘ Setting the group code
The IC-4008E is equipped with 38 group codes. Group mode op-
eration provides communication with silent standby since you will
only receive calls from group members using the same group num-
ber.

First of all, set the same group code number for all group member’s
transceivers.

Turn ON the group mode operation:

q Push [MODE] to enter set mode.

• “ --- ” (group mode OFF) appears on
the display. UP

“ --- ” (group mode OFF).
e Push [MODE] to cancel the group
mode.

NOTE: Only stations with the same group channel number can
be heard during group mode operation, even when the busy in-
dicator appears on the display.

CTCSS: Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System 6

✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch Sys-

tem) GROUP MODE ?

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP

MODE allows communication with silent stand by. Only signals
containing your group code can open the squelch.
This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in
group activities or security related activities where unwanted
output can be a problem. Note that CTCSS group mode is not
private—anyone can receive your calls.

The IC-4008E is equipped with 38 tone codes for CTCSS

GROUP MODE use. Selecting a code applies it to all 69 oper-
ating channels. Each push of [PTT] superimposes your group
code over your transmit signal; and, only signals containing the
same code can open your squelch. To temporarily hear all sig-
nals (including noise) push and hold [MODE]. Do not use
CTCSS GROUP MODE if you want to be able to hear signals
on all channels.

✔ Talk Range
The IC-4008E is designed to maximize performance and im-
prove transmission range in the field. However, the single
most important factor in transmit range (talk power) is your
surrounding environment. These radios are “line of sight” ra-
dios and as such, transmission range is influenced by the de-
gree to which you can “see” the other communicating party.
Large concrete structures and heavy foliage or transmission
from inside a building or vehicle will reduce your talk power.

• Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions.

• Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of
sight.
• Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy fo-
liage.
