How do I operate the IC-705 Picture Sharing Function?

Icom’s Picture Sharing function is a way to share your favourite pictures while you are rag chewing on the air.

To operate the picture sharing function on the IC-705 QRP SDR Transceiver please follow these five steps!

STEP 1: Install the ST-4001I/A* app to your smartphone.
*The app names are different depending on your smartphone OS (iPhone or Android).

STEP 2: Insert a microSD card and set up WLAN in the IC-705.
Turn ON the WLAN in your IC-705. You also must set the Network Name.

STEP 3: Connect to your smartphone.
After making sure you can use the tethering function, set your smartphone as a hotspot in the IC-705’s WLAN menu.

STEP 4: Select and edit a picture to send.
Check the IP address of your IC-705, and enter it in the ST-4001I/A. Then, on the app, select a picture from your smartphone album. You can enter your call sign or favourite words in the picture if you want. Forward the picture to your IC-705.

STEP 5: Start talking in the DV mode and send the picture!
Touch [PICT TX], push PTT, and start talking. The picture is sent little by little (via slow data communication) while you are talking with your friends. A picture taken in the place where you do your field operation would be perfect to share!

Please note that this function will also work the IC-9700 as well as some of our handheld D-STAR radios (you will need the correct optional cables for the handhelds).
