Charging Rechargeable Batteries

Do not charge alkaline or non rechargeable batteries

表决结果：5票

Plug the DC end of the DC/USB charge cable into the radio's DC charge port, and the USB end to a standard USB charge port, or USB port of an AC adaptor (not included). Plug the AC adaptor into the wall outlet.

• Before operating the radio, charge the rechargeable batteries for 16 hours without interruption.
- Do not transmit when the radio is charging.

Low Battery Alert

If the battery level becomes low, the unit will go into a Battery Low Mode. The Transmit Mode is disabled. Replace Alkaline batteries immediately, or recharge NiMH rechargeable batteries immediately to continue using the radio.

Power Save

Your UH15 Series has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of the batteries. If there is no transmission nor an incoming call within 5 seconds, your Radio switches to the Power Save mode. The Radio is still able to receive transmissions in this mode.

Back Light

The UH15 has an automatic display back light which remains on for 3 seconds after a key press (all keys except PTT key). The back light will work even if the keypad is locked but will not work during low battery alert mode.

OPERATION

Press and hold ⬆ to turn the radio On or Off.

When turning on, the radio chirps and the display briefly shows all the display icons before showing the current standby mode of your radio.

Setting the Volume

Press the UP button to increase the speaker volume. Press the DOWN button to decrease the speaker volume. The speaker volume setting is indicated by 'UL'. The volume level range is from 1 (minimum) to 16 (maximum).

2. Press UP or DOWN button to select a desired channel.
3. Press PTT to confirm and save the channel setting.
4. Press MENU one time. The current channel flashes
5. Press UP or DOWN button to select a desired channel.

The squelch mutes the speaker audio unless a strong enough signal is present. The level is preset to a medium setting and can be adjusted if needed.

1. Press MENU six times. 'SL' appears on the display. The current setting (1-6) will flash.

2. Press UP or DOWN to select the receive sensitivity level.

1 = High receive Sensitivity (weak signal area)

2~5 = Medium receive Sensitivity

6 = Low receive Sensitivity (strong signal area)

Talking and Listening

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same Channel (and the same CTCSS Code If It is set).

To talk, press and hold PTT. The transmit power is 0.5 Watt. Hold the radio 5 to 7 cm away from your mouth when speaking. When you are finished speaking, release PTT to listen.

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

Checking the Channel Before Transmitting

For uninterrupted communication, do not talk on a channel if someone else is currently talking on it.

To check for activity on a channel before you talk, press and hold MON. If you hear static, the channel is clear to use.

Push to Talk Timeout Timer

To prevent accidental transmissions and save battery life, the radio emits a continuous warning tone and stops transmitting if you press PTT for 60 continuous seconds.

CTCSS (Privacy) Codes

CTCSS is a feature that allows a group to talk to each other without hearing other users on the same channel. The radios in your group must be set to the same CTCSS code. There are 38 codes to choose from. You can set a different code for each channel using this procedure.

1. Set a desired channel to use CTCSS on (example CH 01).

2. Press MENU two times. The code number flashes.

3. Press UP or DOWN to select a code from 01 to 39.

Example shows Channel 01 with a CTCSS code of 38.

Set to 00 to disable the feature. 4. Press PTT to save the code setting

NOTE: Set the CTCSS Code to 00 if you want to communicate with another radio which is not using CTCSS.

Scanning Channels

Use scanning to monitor channels for transmissions or to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels.

To start scanning:

1. Press and release SCAN. The Z indicator displays.

2. Press and release SCAN again to disable scanning. The Z indicator disappears.

When the radio detects channel activity, it stops scanning and you can hear the transmission. To respond to the transmission press PTT within 5 seconds, the channel will be confirmed.

Scan Advance

If the radio stops scanning on a channel you do not want to listen to, briefly press and release UP or DOWN to resume scanning for the next active channel.

Setting and Transmitting Call Tones

Your radio can transmit different call tones (wake-up tone) to other radios in your group so you can alert them that you want to talk. To set a call tone:

1. Press the MENU three times. 'CA' appears on the display. The current call tone setting flashes.

2. Press UP or DOWN to change and hear the next call tone. There are 10 call tones to choose from (1-10)

NOTE: Set the call tone to 0 to disable the call tone feature. 3. Press PTT to set the new call tone.

Press CALL to transmit the call tone.

NOTE: Current regulations require calling tones to be restricted to one transmission per minute. If a second transmission is attempted within one minute then an error tone will sound.

Voice Operated Transmission (VOX)

Transmission is initiated by speaking into the microphone of the radio instead of pushing the PTT button. To activate VOX:

1. Press MENU four times. ≤ appears on the display. The current setting (oF, 1-3) will flash.

2. Press UP and DOWN button to select the sensitivity level.

3. Press PTT to set the new setting.

3 = High Sensitivity (for noisy areas)

2 = Medium Sensitivity

1 = Low Sensitivity (for quieter areas)

oF = Turn Off VOX function

To Operate in Duplex Mode (Repeater Mode)

The Duplex function enables you to access local repeater stations. 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: You can only activate Duplex on Channels 01-08 and 41-48. When Duplex is ON for a repeater channel, the display shows r1-r8 for Channels 01-08 and n1-n5 for Channels 41-48.

UHF CHANNELS & FREQUENCIES

Always listen on a channel (or observe the receive signal level mode) 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 35 and 35 are Emergency Channels. • Channel 1 is a Callon 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 provisions.

- Channel 46 - road channel (Australia) - Channels 01-08 (and 91-38), and Channels 41-48 (and 71-76) are repeater channels.

Important Information - 80 Channel UHF-CB channel expansion To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF-CB Band. The ADCMA 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 now somewhere radio you have purchased will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the quick lines show and the other crash for latter 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 resolves a signal from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud. Narrowband radio speaking in CH41 - CH60 may encounter interference from a newly wideband radio transmitting on high power on an adjacent channel (frequency). When an other wideband radio requires 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 striators are not about the radio but a symptom of mixed wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that this narrowband radio has passed out the issue will be eliminated.
