    CI-V address
    To distinguish equipment, each CI-V transceiver/receiver has
    its own Icom standard address in hexadecimal code. The IC-
    R20’s address is “6C.”
    When 2 or more IC-R20s are connected to an optional CT-17CI-VLEVEL CONVERTOR
    , set a different address for each IC-
    R20 in the range “01” to “7F.” (default: 6C)

    OTHER FUNCTIONS
    ■Antenna selectionThe IC-R20 has an internal bar antenna installed for receiving
    AM broadcast band 
    (0.495–1.620 MHz; differ according to version)
    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 according to version)
    signals.
    D D
    Selecting antennaqPush [8 SET]for 1 sec. to enter set mode.
    wRotate [R-DIAL]to select “AM ANTENNA” or “FM AN-
    TENNA” for AM broadcast band or FM broadcast band, re-
    spectively.eAfter pushing [8 SET], rotate [R-DIAL]to select “BAR”
    when “AM ANTENNA” is selected for the AM broadcast
    band; select “EARPHONE” when “FM ANTENNA” is se-
    lected for the FM broadcast band.
    rPush [DUALWATCH]to exit set mode.
    NOTES:
    •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
    antenna, the attenuator function cannot be used.

    Weather alert functionNOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before
    important weather announcements. When the weather alert
    function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni-
    tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert signal
    is detected, the “ALT” and the “WX” indications are displayed
    alternately and sounds a beep tone until the receiver is oper-
    ated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is
    checked periodically during standby or while scanning.
    qSelect the desired weather channel.

    NOTE: DO NOTpush any key on the receiver during
    cloning. This will cause a cloning error.
    When the display appears as below, a cloning error has oc-
    curred.
    In such a case, the receiver automatically performs ALL
    RESET while turning power OFF and ON. 
    ■Auto power-off functionThe IC-R20 can be set to automatically turn OFF after a spec-
    ified period in which no operation is performed.
    BUSY, 120 min., 90 min., 60 min., 30 min. and OFF can be
    specified. The specified period is retained even when the re-
    ceiver is turned OFF by the auto power-off function. To cancel
    the function, select “OFF” in step ebelow.

    • Automatic recordingThe IC-R20 has an automatic recording function. When this
    function is activated, the receiver will record automatically
    when a receiving signal appears and pause when the signal
    disappears. This function is very useful when you want to
    store an uncontinuous signal.
    qPush [REC]for 1 sec. to enter the recording set mode.
    wRotate [R-DIAL]to select “REC REMOTE,” then push 
    [REC].
    eRotate [R-DIAL]to select the setting, then push [REC].
    rPush [DUALWATCH]to exit the recording set mode.
    tPush [REC]to activate.
    NOTE: Before using this function, verify the squelch set-
    ting as close level when no signal is received. Otherwise
    this function will not pause even when signal disappears.
    • Erasing recorded audio
    NOTE: The IC recorder can erase all the tracks at the
    same time, but cannot erase each track independently.
    Only using the optional CS-R20 
    CLONING SOFTWARE
    can

    qPush [REC]for 1 sec. to enter the recording set mode.
    wRotate [R-DIAL]to select “ALL DELETE,” then push 
    [REC].
    eRotate [R-DIAL]to select “YES” if you want to delete all
    tracks, then push [REC].
    •After deleting, the receiver returns to normal operating mode.NOTE: The optional CS-R20 can perform the storing the
    recorded contents into PC, erasing them independently or
    editing their information. The CS-R20 cannot playback the
    stored contents on the PC. The recorded contents can be
    played back on the IC-R20 only.*****-REC--*****

    OTHER FUNCTIONS
    ■Partial resetIf you want to initialize the operating conditions (VFO fre-
    quency, VFO settings, set mode contents) without clearing
    the memory contents, a partial resetting function is available
    for the receiver.
    ➥While pushing [VFO MHz], turn the power ON to partially
    reset the receiver.
    ■All resetThe function display may occasionally display erroneous in-
    formation (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 for a few
    seconds, turn power ON again. If the problem persists, per-
    form the following procedure.•Partial resetting is also available. See left for details.
    IMPORTANT!:Resetting the receiver (All reset) CLEARS all memory in-
    formation and initializes all values in the receiver, includ-
    ing TV channel skip setting.
    ➥While pushing [VFO MHz]and [MR S.MW], turn the power
    ON to reset the CPU.DIAL.SEL SWEEP CENTER
