Simple Operation
The IC-F15 series retains the simple user-interface from the IC-F12 series; 3 buttons (upper, lower and PTT) and a rotary or toggle channel selector to provide all the required functionality without any fuss.

Rugged Construction
This radio is designed to withstand serious industrial use. Although the IC-F15 series is smaller and lighter than the IC-F12 series, the new dual rail guide increases durability against shock by securely locking the battery pack in place. The belt clip clamps securely between the radio and the battery, making it nearly impossible to knock loose.

Wide Frequency Coverage
- The IC-F15 series covers a wide frequency (136–174, 400–470 MHz versions) and also has wide, middle and narrow channel spacing (25, 20, 12.5kHz*) selectable per channel.
- * Cannot program 25 and 20 kHz at the same time.

Internal Option Units Available
The IC-F15 series has an internal socket for optional internal units including voice scrambler, man down and DTMF decoder units.

Most popular signalling built-in
The IC-F15 series has 2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS and DTCS signalling capabilities as standard for group communication or selective calling. The IC-F15 series can decode ten 2-Tone codes and eight 5-Tone codes on a channel. When a matched tone is received, many actions are programmable for each code such as beep sounds, answer back calls, LED, stun/kill radio, scans etc.

Two-Year Warranty
The F15/25 is supplied with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty (1 year on the battery).

Battery Endurance
The F15/25 is supplied with a 1.150mAh Li-Ion battery that provides 8 hours operation on a single charge (TX, RX, Standby 5:5:90)

Key Benefits:

With licensed two-way radio:

• There are no call charges no matter how many calls you make!
• You get your own exclusive channel to avoid interference from other radio users
• Instant communication at the touch of a button
• Hand portables will give you typical ranges of 5-6Km, less in built-up areas but greater ranges are also possible*
• You may add a base station to more than double the range of a hand portable radio

* range is mainly dependant on terrain, for example one clients mobile radio system provides 3 miles range in one direction (due to hills) and 40 miles range in another. Careful equipment selection and system engineering will significantly improve your range, please ask us for advice.

In addition to the benefits above Selcall enables a hand-held or vehicle mounted radio to possess the all the benefits of PMR radio plus many of the facilities found on a mobile phone and more, see the radios feature list for its unique selcall features.

Typical Applications (include but are not limited to):

Hotel & Hospitality
A PMR radio helps the medium to large establishment to improve communications, allowing you to respond faster to client’s requests and problems.

Garden Centres / Nurseries
Improve your customer services at the press of a button. Extended range for larger sites, robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, Charlie’s water feature, mud and dust.

Visitor Attractions
Keep in touch with your staff at the push of a button. Respond to technical and administrative issues efficiently. Increased range and security when compared to PMR446 radios.

Retail
At the touch of a button, you can check prices, find out if an item is in stock and locate a manager for assistance. Using licensed radios ensures you do not get interference from the shop next door or Johnny with his new walkie-talkie toy.

Education
In today's active learning establishments, playground supervisors, teachers, coaches and other administrators can stay connected with instant push-of-a-button communications. Due to their increased range PMR radios are particularly suited to larger establishments.

Sport / Event Management / Swimming Pools
Suitable for smaller events including Motorsport. A PMR radio is an extremely cost effective and secure way to communicate. Submersible radios are ideally suited to any humid environment including swimming pools where a standard radio will corrode with time.

Security
When an alarm signals, you don't have a moment to lose. PMR radios give you the up-to-the-minute and secure (using voice encryption equipped radios) communication you need to alert co-workers or request backup at the touch of a button.

Construction
A PMR radio is suited to larger sites that require a robust radio with a high volume output. A submersible radio provides unparalleled protection against UK weather, mud and dust.

Manufacturing
A heavy duty radio makes it easier for manufacturing workers and management to communicate often significantly reducing “down time” and improving efficiency.

Agriculture
Ideal for heavy duty, high noise applications including automated packing shed, in field machinery etc. Extended range to cover larger sites or difficult terrain. Robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, mud and dust.

Local Government
Ideal for long range communications for managers on the road etc. Robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, mud and dust.
