To Transmit and Receive

The UH35 Series uses the UHF-CB Channels. Refer to page 9 for UHF channel usage. (Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand applications. Transmit is inhibited on these channels).

1. The transmit power of the UH35 Series is 500mW which will provide a range of up to 3+Km.
2. Before you transmit, listen for activity on the selected channel.
3. When the channel is clear, press and hold the PTT to transmit. TX appears on the LCD.

Hold the radio with microphone approximately 5 cm in front of your mouth with the antenna at approximately 45° angle away from your head. Speak in a clear, normal conversational voice.

1. When you have finished speaking, release the PTT. TX then disappears on the LCD. Listen for a response.

NOTE

For maximum range and extended the life of the batteries, avoid touching the antenna with your hand when transmitting.

Operation

Range

Automatic Squelch Feature

TheUH35 Series is equipped with an Automatic Squelch system which mutes the audio in the presence of weak transmissions and unwanted noise.

Monitor

This feature enables users to listen in for weak signals on the current channel at the press of a button.

To use monitor

• Press and hold Volume▲ or▼ for 2 seconds. When Monitor is on you will hear noise if there is no signal.
• For continuous listening, the receiver circuit will stay open, letting in both the noise and weak signals.
• To return to normal receive mode press and hold Volume▲ or▼ for 2 seconds or press ⏻ key once.

To Operate in Duplex Mode (Repeaters)

The Duplex function enables you to access local repeater stations. You can only activate Duplex from CH01-CH08 and CH41-CH48. UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions.

NOTE

Contact your retailer for a list of repeaters available in your area.

Operation With the Aid of a Repeater

Eg. CH1 is being used in your area for repeater use.

Press DUP momentarily. Appears for CH01-CH08 and appears for CH41-CH48 when duplex is selected.

Press DUP again to deactivate the duplex operation. UH35 Series will return to normal operation.

Power Save

Your UH35 Series has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of the batteries. If there is no transmission nor an incoming call within 3 seconds, your Radio switches to the Power Save mode. The Radio is still able to receive transmissions in this mode.

Key Lock

Press and hold DUP to lock or unlock the keypad. and keys remain functional when key lock is on. When key lock setting is turned on, appears momentarily and will appear when an inactive key is pressed.

Scanning

The scan function scans all channels and stops at an active channel. When the signal stops, the UH35 Series waits 2 seconds (Drop-Out Delay) before scanning resumes.

To initiate scanning

1. Assuming the unit is on CH1 when switched on.
2. Press and hold Channel ▲ or ▼ for 3 seconds and scanning starts
3. Press ⏻ or PTT to cancel scanning.

NOTE

If Channel ▲ or ▼ is pressed while the unit is paused on a channel, scanning will be resumed.

Drop Out Delay

While scanning, the UH35 Series stops at a busy channel and receives a transmission. When the received signal is over, the unit will wait for 2 seconds for the return of the signal, otherwise, the radio resumes scanning.

NOTE

USER LICENSE INFORMATION

The citizen band radio service is licenced in Australia by ACMA Radio-communications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by MBIE General User Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation is subject to conditions contained in those licenses.

UHF Channels and Frequencies

NOTE

Always listen on a channel (or observe the receive signal level meter) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.

Channels 5 and 35 are used for emergency channels.

CTCSS will not operate on these channels.

Please follow these guidelines for channel use in Australia:

• Channels 05 and 35 are Emergency Channels.
  • Channel 11 is a Calling Channel.
• Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand applications, channels 61, 62 and 63 are for future use and TX is inhibited on these channels.

General communication is accepted on all other channels with these guidelines:

• Channel 40 - road channel (Australia).
• Channels 01-08 (and 31-38), and Channels 41-48 (and 71-78) are repeater channels.

NOTE

Important information - 80 Channel UHF-CB channel expansion

To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF-CB Band. The ACMA will change the majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband channel use. This allows for additional channels to be added, up to 80 Channels.

This simply means that the new narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the guidelines above and the channel chart for further channel information.

A list of currently authorised channels can also be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MBIE website in New Zealand.

Interference / Poor Audio

When a new narrowband radio receives a signal from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud.

Narrowband radios operating on CH41 - CH80 may encounter interference from a nearby wideband radios transmitting on high power on an adjacent channel (frequency).

When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quiet - the wideband radio user simply adjusts their radio volume for best performance.

The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of mixed wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that as older wideband radios are phased out this issue will be eliminated.
