User Safety Information Main Features Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving. Cover 144 / 430 MHz four transmitting bands This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V DC power supply. Do not use a 24V battery to power on the transceiver. Wide band AM receiving and FM receiving for 108-180MHz, 134-174MHz, 350-520MHz (except cell phone).

DC Power Cable Connection Fixed Station Operation Note: Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible. In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation you will need a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included). The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V.
Replacing Fuses Antenna Connection If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved replace the fuse. If newly Before operating install an efficient well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your local dealer for assistance.

100 MHz any required leading zeroes must be entered. The TH-7800 provides 4 kinds of memory systems. These include: Example: To enter 144.025 MHz, press [1] -> [4] -> [4] -> [0] -> [2] -> [5] 1.
HOME Channel Memory Note: The TH-7800 allows quick recall of a favorite operating frequency on each band, called HOME channel (one for each of Whenever you recall a memory which contains independent-stored transmit and receive frequencies, the " " icon will the 6 operating bands).
2. Press and hold in the one of the Hyper Memory keys ([A] ~ [F]) for 2 seconds to store into the Hyper Memory channel The TH-7800 provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the appropriate repeater shift to be which you wish to store that configuration.
CTCSS Tone / DCS Code Operation Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and then select a code. 1. Short press the [SET] key to enter the Menu mode. CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and Tone Frequency by using the Menu # 31 (TONE M) and # 30 (TONE F).

Before you begin to scan, select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it halts on a signal. 3. As with VFO mode, the scanner will halt on any signal and resume scanning according to the Scan-Resume mode. To set the scan-Resume mode: 4.
16 DTMF autodialer memories are available. These DTMF autodialer memories can store up to 16 digits of a telephone The TH-7800 has a two-channel scanning capability which allows you to operate on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home number for, repeater autopatch or other uses.
To load DTMF autodialer memories: 2 Tone & 5 Tone Signaling Operation 1. Short press the [SET] key to enter the Menu mode. The difference between 2/5 Tone and DTMF operation is that 2/5 Tone can be sent using the autodialer feature only, not 2.
Cross-band Repeater Operation To assign the function to a key: The TH-7800 can be set up to operate as a cross-band repeater via a simple Menu procedure. This feature is useful for 1. Press the [SET] key to enter the Menu mode.
