Basic Operation

Turning on\off
To turn on the power, turn the [Power switch / volume control] knob clockwise until you hear a "click". To turn off, turn the knob counterclockwise until you hear a "click"

Adjusting Volume
After turning on, turn the [Power switch / volume control] knob clockwise to increase the reception volume, and turn counter clockwise to reduce the reception volume.

Selecting Zone
A zone is a channel group in which you can include channels with the same attributes (such as call type, digital mode and analog mode), which makes it easy for you to manage existing channels. The unit supports up to 250 Zones, and each Zone contains up to 16 channels. You can select a Zone in two ways:

• Select from the menu: After entering the "Zone" menu, press [ ] / [] to select the desired Zone, and then press [MENU] to switch to the selected Zone.
• Select through the programming button: If the dealer has set the [Zone switch] shortcut, you can press the shortcut to switch to the desired Zone.

Selecting Channel, User ID & Call Group ID
Press [VFO/MR] to switch to MR (channel) mode, and press [ ] / [ ] to select the desired channel, user alias or ID, or call group alias or ID.

Setting Frequency Manually
In the standby interface, press [VFO/MR] to switch to VFO (frequency) mode, in which you can perform operations such as inputting frequency manually and saving channels.

VFO Mode
VFO mode is the basic mode for changing the operating frequency. In the standby interface, press [VFO/MR] to switch to VFO mode, and press []/ [] to increase or decrease the frequency.

Quick Frequency Input
VFO mode is the basic mode for changing the operating frequency. In the standby interface, press [VFO/MR] to switch to VFO mode, and press [ ]\[ ] to increase or decrease the frequency.

Digital - Analog Switching
Each channel of this product can be configured by the dealer as an analog channel or a digital channel. If the current region contains a digital channel and an analog channel, you can change the channel to an analog or digital.

Dual Mode Switch
Press [A/B] to switch the upper and lower pointers, and the solid pointer points to the main channel. Dual-stage operation mode can be selected through the menu; the path is as follows:
Enter "Menu -> Set ->Radio Set -> Double Wait" (Off / On).

• When dual standby is "off', the machine operates in dual-stage single waiting mode. The machine only works on the channel or frequency indicated by the adjacent solid pointer, and the sub channel does not receive signal.
• When "Double Wait" is selected as on, the main channel and sub channel scan in turn. When a signal is received by one channel or frequency, the radio locks on to and receives that channel or frequency. If the signal is not on the main channel.

Note: As the dual waiting mode is in main channel and sub channel scanning states, DTMF, auto scan, individual operation and ARTS auxiliary function do not work.

Keypad Lock & Unlock
If the keypad isn't needed, you can lock into prevent misuse. You can lock or unlock the keypad in the following ways:

• Shortcut
  Press and hold the [#] button to lock or unlock the keypad.

Single call: In the contact list, it indicates the signed user alias (name) or ID (number).
Group call: In the contact list, it indicates the group alias name) or ID (number).
All call: In the contact list, it indicates the group alias (name) or ID (number).
Please keep the microphone about 2.5—5 cm from the mouth in order to ensure the best reception volume of the receiver's two-way radio.

Single call
Single call is a call from an individual two-way radio to another.

Initiate a Call
You can initiate a single call in the following ways. When the single call starts, the LCD screen displays : The first line shows Single Call, the second line shows the contact alias, and the third line shows the single call number and the call icon .
Initiate a Call by Channel Switching In the standby interface, press [VFO/MR] to switch to channel mode, use the [] / [] buttons to select the channel, press and hold the [PTT] button to initiate single call.

• Select "Call log" to enter the dialed / answered / missed call list to view the call log.

To initiate a call to a user group, the two-way radio must be configured with the call group talkgroup number. Initiate a Call You can initiate a group call in the following ways. When the group call starts, the LCD screen displays contact : The first line shows Group Call, the second line shows the contact alias, and the third line shows the group call number and the call icon .

Initiate a Call by Channel Switching
In the standby interface, press [VFO/MR] to switch to channel mode, use the [ ] / [ ] buttons to select the channel, press the [ PTT ] button to initiate group call associated with the displayed channel.

All Call
All call is that a single two-way radio calls all two-way radios on the channel. It is widely used to publish important notices that require special attention from users

Initiate an All-Call
There are two ways to initiate all call: Initiate a call to an All-call preset if it is programmed as your default contact for the digital channel; or through the "Contact list". The specific method is same as "initiate group call "described above.

Note:

• You can initiate all call only when the dealer has enabled this function.
• You can't reply to the received all call.
• After receiving all call, if you switch to another channel, the radio stops receiving all call. During all call, you can't use the preprogrammed button until the call ends.

Analog Channel Call
To transmit on the analog channel, press and hold the [PTT] button and speak to the microphone. To receive, release the [PTT] button

DTMF Call
Initiate a Call:

• In analog mode, press and hold the [PTT] button and press the number buttons on the panel.
• Press the [MENU] button to select a contact, and press the [PTT] button to start DTMF call.

Receive a Call
If the channel has been configured by computer to have DTMF signaling mute, any calls will only be heard if the DTMF code word matches the personal ID code. You can make call with the other party in the reset time and the code word should be redecoded when the reset time is up.

PTT ID Call
Initiate a Call
In analog mode, you can configure the DTMF online code and offline code through host computer and enable online code and offline code for analog channel, or set by (MENU Set 9Radio Set 9PTT D). When the online code is enabled, the DTMF code is sent when you first press the [PTT] button, and the offline code is sent when the [PTT] button is released.

Time-out Timer
This feature prevents the user from occupying the channel for too long. If the continuous transmission time exceeds the time set by the dealer, the radio will stop transmission and sound an alarm. To stop the alarm tone, release the [PTT] button. To re-transmit, press and hold the [PTT] button again after a period of time (set by the dealer).
If the dealer sets the pre-alarm function, a pre-alarm prompt will be made before the time set by the timeout timer is up to tell you that the transmission will be disabled.
Note: This function is disabled in emergency alarm mode.

Busy Channel Lockout
This function can be enabled by computer configuration software to prevent interference with other users that are transmitting on the same channel. If you press and hold the [PTT] button while other users occupy the channel, the radio will beep and display "Transmission failed, sub-audio disabled" or "Transmission failed, color code disabled", prompting that transmission is disabled at this time. When the channel is idle, you can then press the [PTT] button to transmit.

Voice Control
Voice control refers that the voice can directly trigger PTT transmission: When the microphone detects that the voice reaches the level to trigger the voice-activated transmission, the two-way radio automatically transmits the voice, that is, the user does not have to press the [PTT] button during the call.
When the voice control is on, the LCD shows the icon .

Turn onloff Voice Control
Press [Voice Control] shortcut to turn on/off the voice control function
You can also turn on/off voice control in "Settings ->Radio Settings -> Voice Control"
