General
1) Safety
The unit radiates RF energy in transmitting mode. To reduce the exposure to the
lowest possible value and to benefit the most of the set's features, keep the fol-
lowing in mind:
In transmission mode, keep the unit in a vertical position at a distance of 2
inches away from your face. Keep the antenna at a distance of at least 3 inch
away from your head and your body. If you are carrying the unit at the body,
make sure that the antenna keeps a minimum distance of 3 inch to your body
in transmit mode.
2) Service
The condition of the accumulator must be tested from time to time. If the accu-
mulator is weak a short time after complete charge, it should be removed from
the set. It can leak and damage the device. Replace it by a new one.
Worn out accumulators do not belong into the waste bin, but must be returned
to a suitable collecting depot or to a special dealer, for the sake of the environ-
ment.
There are no user-adjustable or user-serviceable parts inside the radio. The
casing must not be opened. Independent repairs or adjustments must not be
carried out, since each modification or unauthorised intervention will immedia-
tely cancel all and any guarantee or repair claims, they are also likely to result
in non-conformity to ETS/EN regulations which will render the set to become
illegal.
In the event a defect becoming apparent, contact a properly equipped and aut-
horised TEAM dealer or TEAM directly.
3) Conformity
The transceiver TEAM TeCom-XP complies with the rules of the European
Directive R&TTE and meets the European Telecommunication Standards EN
300 296, EN 300 086, EN 301 489-1/-5 and EN 60065.
3) Additional Mute Function
The unit is also equipped with a possibility to suppress messages of unwanted
operators on the actual channel while the message of the partner station
remains audible. To identify the wanted radio messages there are two methods
available: CTCSS and DQT.
CTCSS method ( = Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System ): The wanted
radio message must contain a certain inaudible tone, which the CTCSS detec-
ting circuit of the receiving unit recognises and which can take the muting functi-
on out of service. In transmit mode the unit adds to its voice signal also a cer-
tain inaudible tone which will be recognised by the CTCSS detecting circuit of
the counter station's receiver to open its additional muting device.
DQT method ( Digital Quiet Talk ): The digital pulse detecting circuit of the recei-
ving unit checks if the received signal contains any returning sequence of digi-
tal pulses. If it has identified sequences of digital pulses of a certain code in the
wanted message, the muting device lets the radio message pass. In case of
sending DQT coded messages the unit adds to its voice signal also sequences
of digital pulses of the a certain code, too. These pulses will be recognised by
the digital pulse detecting circuit of the counter station's receiver, which gives an
order to the muting device to let the radio message pass to the speaker.
Please take into account that other radio operators, who are not equipped with
a CTCSS or DQT coding/encoding device, or who don't use it, can hear all your
conversation if they are working on the same channel like you and your coun-
ter operator. The same applies to users of the TeCom-XP if the CTCSS and the
DQT function is out of service on that channel.
Your dealer can install for each channel separately the CTCSS or DQT operati-
on. It is also possible to set at the same channel different operation types for
receive and transmit mode.
If the CTCSS or DQT operation is installed in receiving mode on the actual
channel, and if there is a radio operator on this channel who uses either no
CTCSS or DQT operation or a not according one, you will see only the control
lamp ( 2 ) lighting up green, but the speaker will be silent. This shows you that
the channel is occupied and that you should not transmit on this channel for not
disturbing the other station.
The CTCSS method allows your dealer to select one of 50 different inaudible
tones to encrypt your messages between you and the wanted radio operator. If
you use the DQT method your dealer will have 210 different digital codes to
encrypt your messages between you and the wanted radio operator.
The monitor key stops besides the noise suppression also a possible CTCSS or
DQT operation in the receiver. The monitor key function can be activated in two
ways by your dealer:
1. A brief pressure on the key can switch the noise suppression together with
a possible CTCSS or DQT operation on and off.
2. The noise suppression together with a possible CTCSS or DQT operation is
only off while the monitor key is pressed.
