Operating Instructions
Please read and observe the following information and keep the operating manual
nearby for future reference!
Safety information
Risk of explosion!
Only use the power adapter plugs supplied!
Only use batteries supplied or ones of the same type!
Always treat batteries with due care and attention and only use batteries as described.
Never use standard and rechargeable batteries together. Never use rechargeable
batteries or standard batteries with different capacities or charge statuses together.
Never use standard or rechargeable batteries which are damaged.
Risk of suffocation through small objects, packaging and protective foil!
Keep children away from the product and its packaging!
Risks to health and the environment from batteries!
Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment.
They could contain toxic and ecologically harmful heavy metals.
If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes
in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.
Keep the PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
Turn your PMR OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.
In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case
leave the road before using the device.
Turn your PMR OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the
PMR must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
Turn your PMR OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external
RF energy.
Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate
the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.
Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.
Remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a long period.
Intended purpose
It can be used for recreational purposes. For example: to keep in contact during
travelling with 2 or more cars, biking, skiing.
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and
within receiving range. Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices
in operation share these channels (total 8 channels). Therefore, privacy is not garanteed.
Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the conversation. The range of radio
waves is strongly affected by obstacles such as buildings, concrete/metal structures, the
unevenness of the landscape, woodland, plants, … This implies that the range between
two or more PMR‘s may in some extreme cases be restricted to a maximum of a few tens
of meters. You will soon notice that PMR works best when there is a minimum of obstacles
between users.

GETTING STARTED
Installing / Removing the belt clip
To remove the belt clip from the unit, push the belt clip towards the antenna, while
pulling the clip tab.
When re-installing the belt clip, a click indicates that the belt clip is locked into position.
Installing the batteries
Make sure your radio is OFF.
Release the battery latch at the bottom of the radio, and remove the cover.
Install the NiMH battery pack into the battery compartment. Be certain to follow the
instructions written on the label on the battery pack. Installing the battery pack
incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating.
Replace the battery compartment door.
Charging the batteries
Plug one end of the supplied adapter into an easy accessible electric socket and the
other end into the connector (3).
Make sure that the radio is turned OFF.
It will take about 16 hours to fully charge the Ni-Mh battery.
Turning the Unit ON/OFF
Press and hold the key (16) for 2 seconds. The unit will “beep” and the LCD display will
display the current channel.
Adjusting the volume
Press ▲ or ▼
Transmitting and receiving
Press and hold PTT to transmit. After speaking release PTT. The radio will automati-
cally sound received signal from the other radio.
ATTENTION! You cannot receive any radio signals when the PTT button is pressed in.

Press MENU once to enter main channel selection, press MENU again for next function
selection etc.: Main Channel → CTCSS → DCS → Dual Watch → VOX → Call Tone →
Beep Tone → Roger Beep → Auto Power Off → Main Screen
Main Channel →CTCSS (Setting the channels)
Press MENU (1x). Main channel number is flashing.
Press ▲ or ▼ key to select your desired main channel number.
Press MENU again to continue CTCSS setting.
Press ▲ or ▼ key to select your desired CTCSS code from 1 to 38, 0 is OFF.
Press the PTT key to confirm and quit.
Sub -channels
License free PMR radio‘s operating on the 446 MHz frequency band, have 8 available radio
channels. If there are many PMR users in your neighborhood, there is a chance that some
of these users are operating on the same radio channel. To prevent that you receive signals
from other users, sub-channels have been integrated. Two PMR radio‘s will only be able to
communicate with each other when they are operating on the same radio channel and when
they have selected exactly the same sub-channel.
There are two kind of sub-channels :
• Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS)
• Digital Coded Squelch (DCS)
When using CTCSS, a low frequency tone (between 67 and 250 Hz) will be transmitted
along with the voice signal. There are 38 available tones to choose from. You are free to
choose one of these 38 available tones. Due to filtering, these tones will generally not be
audible so they will not disturb the communication. DCS is similar to CTCSS, but instead
of sending a continuous tone of a selected frequency, a digital data transmission is added
to the radio signal. This Digital Code is transmitted at a really low rate, around 134 bits per
second (the code is 23 bits long). Only the PMR‘s of the latest generation will support DCS.
There are 83 available DCS codes that can be used. Since earlier models will only support
CTCSS it will be better to use DCS to prevent that other users will be audible during your
PMR conversations.
VOX (Hands-Free Function)
The unit has a built-in Voice Activated Circuit (VOX) function. You can enjoy talking and
listening without pressing PTT key.
Press ▲ or ▼ key to select sensitivity level from “OF, 1, 2, 3” for “OFF, Low, Medium
and High respectively.
Press PTT to confirm and quit.
Call Tone (Selecting and transmitting)
You can use 1 of 10 different “Call Tones” to get attention of other user on the same channel.
Press ▲ or ▼ key to select your desired call tone.
