Note:
1. Make sure the radio is switched off during charging or the charging time will be
longer and number of possible battery charge cycles reduced.
2. Li-ion batteries do not have memory so they can be recharged at any time. There
are a limited number of charge cycles that the battery can handle, typically 500-700
times. To get the maximum use of the battery, only recharge when getting flat. If an
almost full battery is recharged, the charging cycles are not optimized.
Basic Operation
Power On/Off
Turn the Power Knob clockwise to switch on th
e radio; you will hear “TURN ON THE
RADIO” and current channel number voice message. Turn counter-clockwise to
switch off the radio.
Adjust the Volume
Hold in the side
“Monitor” or “Squelch Off” button to listen the background noise, then
turn the On/Off knob to increase or decrease the volume.
Select a Channel
Turn the Channel Selector Knob clockwise to change the channels from 1 to 16. Your
radio will report the channel number.
Refer to the factory channel settings when linking your radio to other radios as it may
be necessary to reprogram or adjust the frequency / sub tone to match.
Transmit
Keep pressing down the PTT key and speak directly into the microphone hole (MIC).
Hold the radio about 2.5cm to 5cm from your mouth. The radio should be held so that
the antenna is vertical. Speak slowly loud and clear into the radio for a good signal to
be received.
Receive
Release the PTT key to receive a call and adjust the volume if needed.
Monitor
The squelch circuit in the transceiver mutes the speaker automatically, when no
signals are present so you will not hear background noise. Hold in the side button to
monitor a frequency by deactivating the squelch. This is useful when you want to
adjust the volume level, or when you need to hear a weak signal.
