Initial Installation
External Speaker
If you plan to use the optional external speaker/s, There are 2
options. For a single speaker, plug into the 3.5mm SP Jack on the
rear of the radio to hear both bands through one speaker. To use dual
speakers, use the stereo plug it into the 3.5mm ST Jack on the rear
of the radio to split the left and right bands between the 2 speakers.
Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success
of your installation will depend on the type of antenna and its correct
installation.
Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that
has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, to match the transceiver input
impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having
an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby televisions, radio receivers
and other electronic equipment.
Antenna Connection
Accessories Connections
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched
load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the
transceiver before transmitting.
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.
External speaker
Microphone
For voice communications, connect a provided microphone into the
socket on the front of the main unit. Turn the ring firmly on the plug
until it locks. Attach the supplied microphone hanger in an appropriate
location using the screws included in the screw set.

After installing your antenna, ensure that you have the best possible
SWR reading.
IMPORTANT: RF Hazard Warning
The electro-magnetic exposure of this device may exceed the European
standards of the hazard level when transmitting at the high-power
setting while connected to a unity gain antenna at a distance of 63cm
or less from the operator. Furthermore, the hazardous RF exposure
level depends on the conditions of the combination of the antenna gain,
