GETTING STARTED ATTACHING THE ANTENNA Attach the antenna to the UH-050XR following direction as indicated below. Be sure the antenna is firmly seated. ATTACHING THE BATTERY PACK 1. Slide the battery pack onto the bottom of the radio. 2. Use a coin to turn the screw that connects the battery pack to the UH-050XR.
In this case, it is best to switch OFF the radio to help facilitate charging. UH-050XR will return to normal operation once enough power level is established. Note: If you are unable to charge a fully discharged battery, switch OFF the radio to avoid further discharging.
OPERATION When you press any key (except PTT), a short tone sounds. See the Controls and Indicators page at the back of this operating guide for button and key operations. POWER ON/OFF To turn the unit ON, rotate the clockwise until a “click” is heard. A channel number and battery level should appear on the display.
This raises the ”Squelch Gate” so high that only the very strong signals can get through. (Make sure to first select a channel not in use before setting the squelch in your UH-050XR UHF-CB radio.) Turn fully counter clockwise until [SQ] you hear a hiss.
TO TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE The UH-050XR uses the 40 UHF-CB Channels. For your reference a list of the available channels and corresponding frequencies is printed at the end of this manual. 1. The maximum RF transmit power of UH-050XR is 5 watts.
Repeater station and then re-transmitted at the same time on another channel. Your UH-050XR is designed with duplex capability on Channels 1 to 8. When any of these channels are set to operate in duplex mode during transmission, the UH-050XR automatically sends the signal at a frequency 30 channels above the original in order to access the repeater station.
UH-050XR will return to simplex operation. SCANNING The UH-050XR has two types of scanning; Open Scanning (OS) and Group Scanning (GS), giving you flexibility and allowing you to use the radio more effectively. Scanning allows you to search for active channels programmed in the OS or GS memory.
Note: 1. If SCAN is deactivated while in an active channel, the UH-050XR will stay on that active channel. If no other channels are active, the UH-050XR will reinstate the starting channel. 2. Pressing [OS/GS] will switch to Group Scanning.
[ ], to select a lower channel DROP-OUT DELAY While scanning, the UH-050XR stops at a busy channel and receives a transmission. When the received signal is over, the unit will wait for 3 seconds for the return of the signal, otherwise, the radio resumes scanning.
POWER SAVE Battery Save feature extends the battery life by switching the receiver circuit power ON and OFF. This feature automatically activates during stand by mode (RX mode without signal). A flashing the display when the battery save feature is ON. It turns OFF automatically when a signal is present, and activates again 3secs after channel inactivity.
