BATTERY INFORMATION Charging Operation The battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 moths) may not bring the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After fully charging/ discharging cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach its best performance.
BATTERY INFORMATION ▼ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery pack. ▼ Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. WARNING: When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact with the battery terminal, the battery may cause damage or hurt bodies.

BATTERY INFORMATION NOTE: when charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the indicating lamp will not turn into green to show the fully charged status. Only when the transceiver is switched off, can the lamp indicate normally. The transceiver consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger can not detect the voltage when the battery has been fully charged.
BATTERY INFORMATION Normal Charging Tips Self- Examination: When charging, orange light twinkles for 1 second and goes out, which means the charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light remains orange or the red light twinkles, it means the charger can not pass its self-examination or charge the battery.

GETTING ACQUAINTED Antenna POWER / VOLUME Switch: Turn clockwise to switch on the transceiver, and turn anticlockwise till hearing “Click” to switch off the transceiver. After switching on the transceiver, turn clockwise to increase the volume and anticlockwise to decrease the volume. Jacklight Emergency Alarm Key (1)Under the standby conditions, press this key for 1 second to enable alarm function.
GETTING ACQUAINTED Indicator Status and Beep Transceiver emits a low voltage beep at intervals of 61 seconds, Warning on low voltage and red light twinkles. Transmitting/Reading Lightens red all the time. Frequency Receiving/Writing Frequency Lightens green all the time Scan Green light twinkles every second.
BASIC OPERATIONS Switch on / off Transceiver Switch on Transceiver: Under power-off state, turn POWER / VOLUME clockwise till hearing "Click" to switch on the transceiver. The transceiver will announce "Power on" when power-on. Switch off Transceiver: Under power-off state,turn POWER / VOLUME anticlockwise till hearing "Click"...
BASIC OPERATIONS Group Selection There are128 channels in total which are divided into 8 groups with 16 channels in each group. After the first channel is selected, press [PF2] to switch on the transceiver. Holding [PF2] for 2 seconds, the transceiver will announce current group number. Under this condition, turn the selector knob to choose the desired group.
BASIC OPERATIONS Emergency Alarm Function Press this key for over 1 second to start the Emergency Alarm Function. Once this function is started, the transceiver will voice alarm beep, start transmitting and send the alarm beep to companions or systems. Restart the power supply or press Emergency Alarm key again to exit the emergency alarm function.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS The [PF1] and [PF2] keys are programmable. They can realize the following functions by programming software. NOTE: When programming the following functions as [PF1] 1S key or [PF2] 1S key, you need to press the [PF1] / [PF2] key for one second till the transceiver beeps and then release the key to realize the programmed function.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS [PF2], the transceiver emits "DU" beep and then comes into monitor state. Under these conditions, transceiver will ignore CTCSS/DCS decode and monitor signal of other party as long as receiving the matched carrier wave. Release this key, transceiver emits "DU DU" beep and exits the monitor state.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS Under the standby conditions, pressing the programmed Squelch Levels Setup, transceiver will voice the adjusted squelch level. Scan Scan function can be used in monitoring every channel of current group. Under the standby conditions, pressing the programmed scan key, transceiver emits "DU" beep and comes into scan state.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS squelch circuit is not mute and at present you can hear the background noise. Press this key again, transceiver emits "DU DU" beep, and the squelch circuit becomes mute. By using this function you can monitor the weaker signal which is hard to receive. Temporary Squelch off Under standby conditions, press and hold programmed key of Temporary Squelch off [PF1]/[PF2], transceiver emits "DU"...
ADVANCED OPERATIONS Frequency Reverse Under the standby conditions, pressing the programmed key of Frequency Reverse, transceiver emits "DU" beep and then comes into Frequency Reverse state. After that, the current channel RX frequency will be switched to TX frequency, and the CTCSS or DCS signal which has been setup will be also switched.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS Voice Compander (Reduce Noise & Enhance Audio Clarity) Enable this function to reduce background noise and improve audio clarity, which is especially helpful for long-distance communication. Under the standby conditions, pressing the programmed key of "Voice Compander", transceiver enables the Voice Compander function with "DU"...
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS CTCSS / DCS Encode / Decode Users can set independent CTCSS / DCS encode / decode for every channel by programming software. Optional Signaling Users can enable or disable the Optional Signaling in every channel by programming software. This Signaling function is similar to CTCSS/DCS which embodies functions as Selective Call, Group Call, All Call, PTT ID, and Remotely stun and Waken.
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS 3.This transceiver is set with 16 groups of DTMF code, users can program and use them flexibly. Wide / Narrow Band Setup On the basis of national conditions, users can set channel spacing as 25K (wide band), 21K ( middle band) or12.5K (narrow band) to communicate on the transceiver by programming software.
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS Signaling Relations Setup Users can set relations between CTCSS/DCS signal and DTMF signal by programming software. AND: Only when a matching CTCSS/DCS signal and a DTMF signal are received, can calling of other party be heard. OR: As long as a matching CTCSS/DCS signal or a DTMF signal is received, calling of the other party can be heard.
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS will automatically exit this function. Time-out Timer The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time set in advance, the transceiver will stop transmitting with voice prompt.
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS the [PTT] key. Users can enable or disable the VOX function by programming software. Priority Scan Setup This transceiver can be set with two priority channels at the same time.Users can set the desired priority scan by programming software. If transceiver set priority scan, under scanning and receiving no signal state, it will scan every channel and also test priority channel at a time.
