1 MHz (default) and 10 MHz.D D
Priority watchTurn the priority watch or priority beep (priority watch with
beep emission capability) ON. (default: OFF)
•ON : Start priority watch after exiting set mode.
•BELL : Emits beeps and blinking “S” indicator when
a signal is received on the priority frequency.D D
Key-touch beepThe key-touch beep can be turned OFF for silent operation. 
(default: ON)

Beep output levelAdjust the key-touch beep tone level to the desired level
within 32 levels or to the related level with volume control.
•VOLUME : The beep tone level is linked with the vol-
ume set level. (default)
•______ – ooo ooo
: The beep tone level is fixed in 32 steps.
The key-touch beep (previous item) must be set to ON to

Power saveThe power save function reduces the current drain to con-
serve battery power. This power save function can be turned
OFF, if desired. 
In the default setting (“ON” selection), the power save func-
tion is activated in 1:4 
(125 msec.: 500 msec.)
ratio when no sig-
nal is received for 5 sec. The ratio becomes 1:8 
(125 msec.:
1 sec.)
when no signal is received for another 60 sec.

Antenna selection
This item appears only when accessing set mode from
AM or FM broadcast band, 0.495–1.620 MHz or
76.000–107.995 MHz(differ according to version), re-
spectively. And the selectable condition is differ ac-
cording to the selected band.
Select using antenna for the AM or FM broadcast band re-
ception independently. 
•EXT : Use the antenna connected to the antenna con-
nector. (default)
•BAR : Use the internal bar antenna for AM broadcast
band reception. (This selection appears only
when accessing set mode from AM broadcast
band.)
•EAR : Use the connected earphone’s cable as the an-
tenna for FM broadcast band reception. (This se-
lection appears only when accessing set mode
from FM broadcast band.)

Key lock effectWhile the key lock function is ON, [Y]/[Z] and [SQL] can still
be accessed. Accessible switches can be set to one of 4
groups.
[PWR] and [FUNC]+[BAND•] are also accessible during
the lock, however, these switches are not effected by this set-
ting.
•NORMAL : [Y]/[Z] and [SQL] are accessible. (default)
•NO SQL : [SQL] is accessible. 
•NO VOL : [Y]/[Z] are accessible. 
•ALL : No accessible switch is available, except
[PWR] and [FUNC]+[BAND•].

Dial speed accelerationThe dial speed acceleration automatically speeds up the tun-
ing dial speed when rotating [DIAL] rapidly.
•ON : The dial speed acceleration is tuned ON. 
(default)
•OFF : The dial speed acceleration is turned OFF.D
D
Monitor switch actionThe monitor switch, [SQL], can be set as a ‘sticky’switch.
When set to the sticky condition, each push of [SQL] toggles
the monitor function ON and OFF.
•PUSH : Pushing and holding [SQL] to monitor the fre-
quency. (default)
•HOLD : Push [SQL] momentarily to monitor the fre-
quency and push momentarily again to cancel it.

Auto power OFFThe receiver can be set to automatically turn OFF after a
specified period with a beep when no key operations are per-
formed.
30 min., 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours and OFF (default) can be
specified. The specified period is retained even when the re-
ceiver is turned OFF by the auto power OFF function. To can-
cel the function, select “OFF” in this set mode.D
D
Scan pause timerSelects the scan pause time. When receiving signals, the
scan pauses according to the scan pause time.
•2–20 : Scan pauses for 2–20 sec. on a received signal,
and selected in 2 sec. steps. (default: 10 sec.)
•HOLD : Scan pauses on a received signal until it disap-
pears. Rotate [DIAL] to resume manually.
D D
Scan resume timerSelects scan resume time. Scan resumes after the specified
period when the received signal disappears.
•0 : Scan resumes immediately when the received
signal disappears.
•1–5 : Scan pause 1–5 sec. after the received signal
disappears. (default: 2 sec.)
•HOLD : Scan pauses on the received signal even if it
disappears. Rotate [DIAL] to resume manually.D D
Scan stop beepTurns the scan stop beep function ON and OFF. 
When the function is activated (“ON” is selected), a long beep
will sounds each time when signal is received during scan.

D D
Offset frequencySets the duplex offset frequency for each frequency band in-
dependently within 0 to 159.995 MHz range. During duplex
operation (–DUP or +DUP), the monitoring frequency (while
[SQL] is pushed) shifts the set frequency. 
The default value may differ according to the selected fre-
quency band 
(before accessing set mode)
and receiver version.
The selected tuning step in VFO mode is used for the off-
set frequency setting.
D D
Duplex directionSets the duplex direction. The displaying frequency shifts the
programmed frequency in offset frequency above when mon-
itor function is in use (while pushing [SQL]).
•OFF : Simplex operation. (default)
•–DUP : The displaying frequency shifts down dur-
ing monitor.
•+DUP : The displaying frequency shifts up during
monitor.
D D
Tone squelch Sets tone or DTCS squelch operation and pocket beep capa-
bility, when waiting for the desired signal. 
•OFF : Regular noise squelch operation. (default)
•TSQL : Using tone squelch. The squelch opens only
when a signal with matched subaudible tone
is received.
•P BEEP : In addition to the “TSQL” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched tone is
received.
•DTCS : Using DTCS squelch. The squelch opens
only when a signal with matched DTCS code
is received.
•P DTCS : In addition to the “DTCS” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched DTCS
code is received.
The subaudible tone frequency and DTCS code is pro-
grammed in the tone frequency and DTCS code item, re-
spectively.

Antenna selectionThe IC-R5 has an internal bar antenna for receiving AM
broadcast band 
(0.495–1.620 MHz)
signals. In addition, the
connected earphone’s cable can be used as an antenna for
receiving FM broadcast band 
(76.000–107.995 MHz; differ ac-
cording to version)
signals.
D D
Selecting antennaqSelect VFO mode with [V/M•S.MW•~].
wPush [BAND•] several times, or while pushing
[BAND•] rotate [DIAL] to select the AM or FM broad-
cast band.
ePush [TS•SET] for 1 sec. to enter set mode.
rRotate [DIAL] to select “ANT” item.•“ANT” disappears after 1 sec. and “EXT” (default) and “An” ap-
pear.
tWhile pushing [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to select “BAR” when
set mode has accessed from the AM broadcast band; se-
lect “EAR” when set mode has accessed from the FM
broadcast band.
yPush [TS•SET] momentarily to exit set mode.
NOTE:
•Some noise or spurious may be received when the inter-
nal bar or earphone cable is used for antenna.
•The supplied or third party’s antenna MUST BEcon-
nected to the antenna connector to receive signals other
than AM or FM broadcast bands.
•When receiving an AM broadcast signal with internal bar
antenna, aim the receiver to better audio direction.
•When the internal bar or earphone cable is used for an-
tenna, the attenuator function cannot be used.
