	Now that you have your IC-R20 ready, you are probably ex-	reference
	cited to start listening. We would like to take you through a
	few basic operation steps to make your ﬁrst “Scanning Expe-
	rience” enjoyable.

	D About default setting	Quick
	The frequency control ([R-DIAL]) function can be traded with
	volume control ([L-DIAL]and [Y]/[Z] keys) function by push-
	volume control ([L-DIAL]and [Y]/[Z] keys) function by push-
	ing for 1 sec. [1 DIAL.SEL]. However, in this QUICK REF-
	ERENCE GUIDE, the factory default setting ([R-DIAL]sets
	operating frequency) is used for simple instruction.

Charging periods: 8 hours (w/BP-206)

qInstall the battery pack (BP-206).

wPlug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

eTurn OFF the receiver, then insert the adaptor plug into the [DC] jack of the receiver.

RWARNING!:

NEVER attempt to charge any other batteries. Because the IC-R20 can charge the BP-206 only.

Keep the jack cover attached when jack is not in use to pro- tect the connectors from dust and moisture.
