OPERATION MODE (AMATEUR TRANSCEIVER OR PROFESSIONAL TRANSCEIVER) The transceiver is a high performance amateur transceiver with dual band, dual standby, dual display and other kinds of functions. According to practical application, you can set the radio to operate as Amateur Transceiver or Professional Transceiver.
WORKING MODE (AMATEUR TRANSCEIVER OR PROFESSIONAL TRANSCEIVER) VFO Mode(Frequency mode): This mode shows only frequency on the display. Shortcut operation and Channel setting will be changed & stored as the latest value permanently. Once the radio is turned off or changed to new VFO frequency, the value is remained until next change.(As pic 3) Professional Transceiver Mode: When set display mode as "CH", it enters into Professional Transceiver mode.
BATTERY INFORMATION Charging Operation The battery is not charged at the factory, please charge it before use. Charge the battery for the first time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery to its normal operating capacity.
BATTERY INFORMATION ▲ Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery or damage the battery. ▲ Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. WARNING: When keys or ornamental chains and other electric metals contact with the battery terminals, the battery may cause damage or hurt bodies.

BATTERY INFORMATION NOTE: When charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn into green to show the full charge status. Only when turn off the transceiver, the LED can indicate normally. Because when the transceiver is power on, it would consumes energy, the charger cannot detect when battery has been fully charged, the charger will charge battery in voltage consumption and fail to indicate correctly.
BATTERY INFORMATION Charging Prompt 1. Self- examination: When charging, ORANGE light twinkles for 1 second and goes out. That means the charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light remains orange or the red light twinkles, which means the charger can not pass its self-examination or charge the battery. 2.
