Basic operations

Supplied antenna

Insert the base of the supplied antenna into the SMA connector and rotate it clockwise. Make sure the antenna has set down.

Take out the antenna from the base by rotating it counterclockwise rotation.

Turn on and off the power

If you want to turn on the power, rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise until a beep is heard. All icons and frequencies appear on the screen. You can adjust your desired volume by turning the knob.

To turn off the power, rotate the PWR/VOL knob counterclockwise rotation. All the icons on the display will disappear and the radio is off.

Adjusting volume

After turning on the radio, rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter -clockwise to decrease.

Transmitting/Receiving

Firstly, hold down briefly the MONI button to make sure that the frequency is not busy and then press the PTT. Speak 4/10cm far from the unit.

The TX indicator lights up.

Release the PTT key to receive.

Emergency Alarm

Hold down the CALL key for 1 second and press MONI: the radio will switch to emergency alarm.

Repeater tone

When you press any key, a note at 1750Hz is generated. It gives the possibility to link to repeaters.

LOCK P UNLOCK

Keypad Lock

To Lock or unlock the buttons.

In channel/Frequency mode, press and hold down the key for two seconds. The keypad will lock. Repeat the same procedure to unlock it.

Setting Reverse Frequency Function

This function is possible only when you are linked to a repeater: it permits to invert the TX frequency with the RX frequency. In Channel/Frequency mode, hold down for two seconds until "R" appears on the display. Repeat the same procedure to return to the previous frequency setting.

Scanning

The Scan version is very useful to monitor the channels before transmitting.

1. Scan all the channels

In Channel/Frequency status, press MENU, 1SCAN ENTER 1SCAN, ENTER the radio will scan from the channel in use through all the channels. Whenever any activity is detected, the radio will suspend the scan for 5 seconds. It will then continue to scan unless you press PTT or ENTER key to end scanning.

2. Priority channel scan

In Frequency Mode, press MENU, 1 SCAN, 2 PRI ENTER. The radio will scan from the current frequency through all the frequency range within 1MHz. Whenever any activity is detected, the radio will suspend the scan for 5 seconds. It will then continue to scan unless you press the PTT or ENTER key to end scanning.

Select scan type

In Frequency mode, press and rotate the Encoder until the display shows "SCAN 13". Press ENTER and turn the Encoder knob again to select the scan type (TO/CO/SE). Confirm your selection with ENTER and exit by pressing VFCMP twice.

TO: Time-operated scan

Even though the radio stops on a busy channel, it will continue scanning the other channels.

CO: Carrier-operated scan

The radio stops on a busy channel until there is no activity, and then radio begins scanning the other channels.

SE: Search scan

The radio stops on a busy channel and exits the Scan mode.

DTMF Code

In Channel/Frequency mode, press PTT and digit a number on the keypad.

Problem Solution
No Power	The battery pack may be dead. Recharge or replace it.
	The battery pack may not be installed correctly. Remove it and install it again.
Battery power dies shortly after charging	The battery pack life is finished. Replace the battery pack with a new one.
Cannot talk to or hear other members in your group	Make sure you are using the same frequency and CTCSS/DCS tone as the other members in your group.
	Other group members may be too far away. Make sure you are within the range of the other radios.
Other voices (besides group members) are present on the channel.	Change the CTCSS/DCS tone.
	Be sure to change the tone on all radios in your group.
