Low Battery Alert 

When the battery capacity is getting low, the radio will alert you with a message 

“please charge the 

battery” every 5 seconds unless the radio is recharged. 

 
Announce Voice Channel 

As the channels are changed, a voice announces the specific channel. This is useful when using the 
radio at night.   
 

Power Selection (only in dealer license version) 

Maximum communication range is achieved when the transceiver is set to high power mode, whilst 
lower power settings will save battery life. The power can be set on low (500mW) or High (3W).   
Factory programmed on low 500mW 

Programmable Side Key 

You can program specific functions for the bottom

 -

 side key via software.   

Hold in the button for 3 seconds to activate. 

 
Local:

 A very loud continuous emergency siren is sounded. 

 

Scan:

 The radio will begin scanning all the selected channels (upto 16) and lock on to any activity. 

LED flashes when scanning. A single beep sound “di” will indicate that the function is active and a 
double beep sound “di di “ will indicate that the function is deactivated. 
 
The scan function is useful when you want to find other people on similar frequencies or to monitor 
communication within your group. If an active channel is found the scan will stop and lock on to that 
channel. You can now transmit and receive on this frequency. When the signal is gone for 5 seconds, 
scanning will resume.   

 

Scan Add/Delete 

In the Channel Info You can add a channel to the scan group or delete it from group.   

Add 

choose Yes in the channel row under the Scan Add column to add the channel. 

Del
