Servicing
The device must not be opened. Independent repairs or adjustment must not be carried out,
since each modification or unauthorised intervention will result in the cancelling of the oper-
ating permit and of the warranty and repair claims.
Do not use the set if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the set from the DC power
source immediately. If there is a defect, the authorised TEAM specialist dealer or TEAM
must be contacted in every case.
General Precautions
Protect the set from humidity and dust. Do not store at places or in the sun where the tem-
perature may rise and cause damage. The set can be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth.
Do not use chemical products to clean the set.
Safety Instruction
Drivers must keep attention about traffic rules by using the transceiver in a vehicle. Drivers
should use a handsfree microphone set like TEAM DM-106 VOX while driving.
The unit radiates RF energy in transmit mode. Please keep an eye on safety distance to
the antenna.

To deactivate the dual watch function and to stay on the actual channel, depress twice
briefly the key ( 14 ) [ DW ], any other key of an active function or the Up/Down keys ( 5 )
and ( 4 ), or just turn at the rotary channel switch ( 9 ). The dual watch symbol ( 21 ) [ DW ]
will disappear from the display.
Transmitting is possible on the actual channel but it does not terminate the dual watch
function.
10. Key lock function
If you press the key ( 14 ) [ DW ] and hold it for a short period, you will hear 2 seconds,
after starting to press, a short receipt tone which indicates that the key lock function is
active. Now the unit ignores any entry from the function keys, the Up/Down keys ( 5 ) and
( 4 ) and the rotary channel selector ( 9 ). Thus it is also impossible to stop most activat-
ed functions. Only transmission is possible. The key lock mode is indicated by the symbol
( 8 ) [ KL ] in the display. The function remains even active if the unit is switched off in the
meantime, provided that the supply voltage is not disconnected.
To deactivate the key lock function depress the key ( 14 ) [ DW ] once again and hold it
for a short period, until you will hear 2 seconds later a short receipt tone which indicates
that the key lock function is deactivated now. At the same time the symbol ( 8 ) [ KL ] dis-
appears in the display.
11. Call Tone
If you press the transmit key ( 3 ) [ PTT ] together with the call key ( 2 ) [ SIGNAL ] a call
tone will be transmitted and can be heard by the partner-station providing it is switched on
the same channel and same mode.
12. External Speaker Jack [ EXT-SP ]
The MC-8 is equipped with a 3.5 mm phone socket ( 24 ) [ EXT-SP] at the rear panel to
connect an external speaker of 4 - 8 ohm impedance. At 4 ohms the speaker load can be
watts ( e.g. TEAM TS-500 ). When the external speaker is connected the internal speak-
er will be switched off.
13. External Signal Meter Jack [ S-METER ]
There is also at rear panel of MC-8 a socket ( 25 ) [ S-METER ] to connect an external
S-meter with a 2.5 mm plug ( e. g. TEAM SM 930 ). Please note that the external S-meter
shows only the relative fieldstrength of the incoming signal. The signal strength at receiv-
ing station can be either measured with a S-meter or estimated by the own impression.
