 Icom is pleased to announce
the debut of the IC-F51V/F61V Series of VHF/UHF handheld transceivers. While
keeping the dust-tight, waterproof construction and compact style of the
original IC-F51 series, the new IC-F51V/F61V has additional features
including BTL amplifier, vibration alert, voice recorder and lone worker
functions. These combined features open up the market for this product to the
emergency services who need to use the radio as a radio pager with voice
recorder and vibration alert functions, security companies that need lone
worker and voice recorder functions and Industrial users who work in very
noisy environments and need loud audio with the BTL amp and vibration alert
functions.
700mW AF power with BTL amplifier
The IC-F51V/F61V uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the
audio output, delivering 700mW of loud audio*.
* Internal speaker only.
Vibration alert function
When a pre-programmed 2-Tone/5-Tone signal, called by a specified ID user
(BIIS mode only) or a status message (BIIS mode only) is received, the
vibration alert function alerts you by vibrating the radio. The vibration
patterns are also programmable (4 patterns x one time/repeat).
Max. 8 minute voice recorder
The built-in the voice recorder records incoming calls up to a maximum of 8
minutes. When a specified 2-tone/5-tone signal or called by a specified ID
(BIIS mode only) is received, the voice recorder automatically starts
recording the message. You will not miss any important messages even when you
are temporarily away from the radio. The recorded message will be preserved
even when the radio is turned off. If you have a new message, the radio shows
¡§ *¡¨ icon on the display.
Lone worker function
The lone worker function is a substitute for the man down function. When the
radio is not operated for a preset period (1 to 255 minutes), the radio
sounds a beep and requires the user to push the emergency button. If the
emergency button is not pushed for a preset time, an emergency signal is
automatically transmitted and informs your co-workers or controller that
something may have happened.
Enhanced scanning features
New scanning features have been added allowing easier migration from other
brand radios to Icom radios.
Scanning list and scanning type
The IC-F51V has 17 scanning list memories. Each scanning list consists of
memory channels to be scanned and scanning type settings. Scanning type
settings are selectable from normal scan or priority scans. The priority scan
allows you to monitor one or two priority channels, while scanning other
channels.
Mode slave scan
In the regular mode scan, you can select a scanning list independent to the
channel setting. However, in the mode slave setting, the scanning setting is
dependent on the operating channel. When you change the operating channel,
the scanning list automatically changes to that channel setting. It is
convenient when you move to a different operating area and change an
operating channel, you don't have to change the scanning setting.
Tx channel setting
The Tx (Transmit) channel is the channel selected when you push the PTT
button while scanning. It can be programmable per scanning list. The start
channel, last detected channel, priority and pre-programmed channel are
selectable. In addition, display setting while scanning is also programmable.
Talk back function
The talk back function allows you to transmit on the channel detected when
scanning stops or scanning resumes after a preset time, prior to the Tx
channel setting. The talk back timer beep alerts you of the end of the talk
back time with a beep sound. You can easily make a quick response with this
function.
·
Nuisance delete ... You can
temporarily delete a busy channel from the scanning list.
·
Monitor key action ... You can stop a
scan when pushing the monitor button.
·
Backlight at Stop Scan ...
Automatically turns on the LCD backlight when the scan stops.
VOX headsets available
When used with one of the optional headsets* HS-94, HS-95 or HS-97 with
VS-1SC* PTT switch box, the IC-F51V/F61V automatically detects your voice and
transmits it.
* These headsets and VS-1SC are splash resistant equivalent to IPX4.
IP67, dust-tight and water-proof construction
The IC-F51V/F61V has IP67 protection against dust and water. The IC-F51V/F61V
can withstand submersion in 1m depth of water for up to 30 minutes and has
dust-tight construction that prevents the ingress of dust.
Built-in inversion type voice scrambler
The IC-F51V/F61V has a built-in inversion type* voice scrambler which provide
securer conversation.
* The inversion type voice scrambler is not compatible with UT-109/UT-110
type voice scrambler.
Improved micro filter material
New micro filter material covers the microphone element allowing penetration
of clean air while shutting out water and dust to provide a less muffled
transmit voice.
