PROGRAMMING NOTICE!
This transceiver has been factory programmed and can be used immediate-
ly once purchased. All 16 channels have been activated with channels in the
license free bands as per the table below and on the back of the box. There
are 2 bands, PMR 446MHz band with 8 frequencies (1-8) and the 464MHz
band with 5 frequencies (1a-5a). Select the same channel on any ZA-720
radio to communicate.
Compatibility:
The ZA-720 is factory programmed to be directly compatible with all 16
channels on the TX-8, channels 1 to 12 on the ZA-748, ZA-725 and ZA-758
and the first 8 channels on the ZA-708 if they are set to factory program -
ming. You will need to reprogram your ZA-720 radio when there are other
channels to be set. Both the frequency (1-8 or 1a-5a) and CTCSS sub tones
(1-38) / DCS tone must be the same on all radios for full intercommunica-
tion. Should there be interference on a specific channel, select a different
channel. Note that Channel 9, 10 & 11 are set on the open frequency with-
out a sub tone and channels 13 to 16 have been set with a tone 20 for more
privacy. A sub tone is used to privatise conversations when using the same
frequency.
