1. Use The Ex-PMR 500 is, in many European countries, a registration free piece of radio equipment in the range of 446-Mhz for use in hazardous areas (apart from fire damp holes) according to zones 2 and 1 according to IEC/CENELEC.
Pay attention when using the equipment that the leather case is always completely fastened. - Only ECOM`s permitted equipment may be used. 5. Precautionary Advice Electromagnetic waves can cause disturbance and can damage your health! Since no defined statements can be made with reference to the interfering immunity of the pacemakers, we recommend that pacemaker carriers refrain from general contact with the radio transceiver.
Please read thoroughly through these operating instructions to enable you to get to know all functions of your Ex-PMR 500 and to enable you to use it. For your own information and safety read the advice on the following pages!

Front 1. MO/Fr/Ch: squelch bridge, changeover frequency/channel indicator, changeover: CTCSS-frequency or DCS code 2. DOWN/TS: Channel and functions, turn downwards, adjust CTCSS sound or DCS code. 3. UP/TO: turn the channel and functions upwards, activate the CTCSS operation ON/OFF, CTCSS or DCS code 4.
8.2. Functions All 8 channels are very easily changeable. The Ex-PMR 500 can operate on all 8 channels. 10 storage spaces So that you always have sufficient regular alternatives for your radio partner. Search finds active channels The automatic search (scanner) searches and finds occupied channels where it then stops.
To receive much weaker signals the low noise barrier must bridge the gap. Lighting Display All functions of the EX-PMR 500 can be read on the display – eg, the adjusted radio- channel. The display can be lit up by pressing a button for a better reading when it is half-light or dark.
- In addition place the radio equipment Ex-PMR 500 in the charging case. - The red LED on the device indicates that the accu is being charged. For conservational charging, the green LED shines. Advice: The charging socket is deactivated on the side of the equipment.
8.4. Integrated aerial The Ex PMR 500 is delivered with a flexible integrated rubber spiral aerial and must only be used with this aerial! This integrated aerial is insoluble via a SMA socket, when connected with the radio telephone device. Advice: - Never send without the integrated aerial! - The final transmission stage of your radio equipment could become...

- For the second function, the CTCSS operation or DCS operation can be switched on (indicator TSQ disappears); Hold the FUNC button and simultaneously press the TO button (indicator TSQ). To turn off, press the FUNC button again and simultaneously press the TO button (indicator TSQ disappears). The button labeled TO stands for Tonruf (tone sound operation).

~ Accu saving switch/ electronic locking button This button has two functions; - By directly pressing the PS/LOCK button, the battery saving switch (Power Saver, PS) will be activated – indicator PS. If the low noise barrier is closed, the indicator flashes after a short time and signalizes that important parts of the equipment will be turned on and off to save electricity.
8.6. Indication/Display Picture of display 1. Transmission indicator TX Indicates that the radio device locates itself on transmission 2. Dual function activation – indicator F This indicator can be seen as long as though the function button (left side) has activated the second function of the button.

10. Surveillance function This status indicator informs about the activated surveillance function. 11. Memory storage indicator CTCSS or DCS number Here, the memory storage can always be read from the operation, from which the radio equipment is installed. For frequency indication, read the CTCSS or DCS number from here.
8.7. Operation Radio equipment switching on/off The Ex-PMR 500 is switched off and on with the knob VOL/OFF on the top. If this is on the left side and there is no indicator on the display, the radio device is swit- ched off.
If you release the button, the Ex PMR 500 stops at the corresponding channel. A continual channel/frequency change will not receive simultaneously! Storage-operation: input Your radio equipment offers 10 storage spaces which are labeled with digits from 01 to 10. In storage work, you can store e.g. all channels exclusive of the alter- native channels with possible interference and then observe the search either manually or automatically.

- Set the MR/MW button to tuning or storing - Press the SC/DW button and release again. You will hear a receiving tone. The search begins at the same time and the changed channel numbers or frequencies can be recognized on the display. The scan direction can be adjusted with the UP or DOWN buttons.
Tone Scan Mode During tuning, this function is turned off. It will be prepared as follows; - If the equipment is turned off; - Hold the FUNC button and turn on the equipment - Press the FUNC button and select the tSC menu using the UP M or DOWN L buttons Indicator tSC-oFF - Switch the indicator tSC on with the UP or DOWN buttons - Confirm with the PTT button.
