The time of Charging Low battery voltage will make the radio less coverage and also make worse the performance. Please charge the battery in case of following: ① When the battery has lower performance after being used around 6 ~ 8 hours ②...
5. Operating Instructions of PK-Series Radio 5.1 Power On/Off Turn Power switch clockwise. As soon as power is supplied, the backlight will be turned on. If the user had set up the user ID and the name, they will be displayed on the LCD and the radio will enter into the latest state as a signal sound is generated.
Indicator (RSSI). If the communication conditions is poor or the tone (CTCSS/DCS) is not the same even though the frequency is the same, the user needs to press Monitor button ( on the left side of the radio to receive all signals of the current channel.

5.8 Selective Call (Paging) In Selective Call mode (Paging mode), the user can call individuals and groups through the 5-tone ID. Each Selective Call memory (paging memory) stores up to 30 IDs and names. The user should set the paging memory and the 5-tone environment in the PC program.
Cloning function is to clone the data such as frequency, tones, and scanning of one radio to the other radios. * Cloning Method ① Prepare a Cloning cable (PFCLONA) which is manufactured by UNIMO Technology. (* Available in branch offices and sales agencies of UNIMO.) ②...
is not used. 5.11 Change Groups The radio of UNIMO have total 256 channels with 16 groups, and the user can set each group and channel by the PC program or by the menus. ① Enter into Menu mode. ② Select “Group” by pressing Channel buttons (▲ and ▼), and press “Menu”. Then, the message of the selected group will be displayed.
5.13 ID Display ID Display function is to send the caller’s ID and it display Caller’s ID on the called person’s radio. The ID is mainly divided into DTMF and 5 tones. Especially, 5 tones are to send the caller’s ID to the other person’s radio and display the caller’s ID on the called person’s radio for convenient and efficient use of the radio.

④ Exit Menu mode by pressing “M”s button. Select “Off”. Then, the bell symbol will disappear on the LCD. 5.15 Scan Scan is to search channels registered in the scan list and let the radio select the channel automatically in which a signal is received.
5.16 Set Key Lock Set Key Lock menu avoids 3 buttons(Menu, ▲ and ▼) is functioned by undesired pressing. After setting Key Lock menu, all buttons will not be functioned by pressing buttons. ① Enter into Menu mode. ② Select “Lock” by pressing Channel buttons (▲ and ▼) and press “Menu”. Then, Key Pressing Lock message will be displayed.
5.17 Set Password Set Password is to prevent the other people from using the radio by setting a password. The user should type in the correct password to use the radio. ① Enter into Menu mode. ② Select “Secret” by pressing Channel buttons (▲ and ▼) and press “Menu” button. Then, “New Password” will be displayed.
