If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not leave the battery near fi re, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!

If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means!

If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not charge the battery near fi re or under direct sunlight!

If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

DANGER

- Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements!

If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step on it!

This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not jar or throw the battery!

An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not solder directly onto the battery!

If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!

When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!

The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

DANGER

- Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!

If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.

If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.

Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it is activated. You can turn the scan function (the ability to perform scan) ON or OFF in Setting Mode.

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.

2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”5C

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “ SE_-oF ” (scan function disabled) or “ SE_-oO ” (scan function enabled).

- If you select “ 5, you will no longer be able to perform scan by pressing and holding the ▲ey.

To begin scanning:

1 Press and hold the ▲ key for 1 second.

- "5" appears on the display.

2 When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQT matches, the channel number appears on the display and blinks.

3 When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits for 5 seconds before scanning continues.

- If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds elapse, the transceiver will remain on the channel until the new signal is no longer present, at which time it will again wait for 5 seconds before continuing.

4 To end the scan at any time, press and hold the ▲key for 1 second.

- The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before you started scanning.

REVERT CHANNEL

The revert channel is the channel from which you start scanning. So, for example, if you are on channel 1 when you begin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1.

During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically select the transceiver's revert channel (in the above example, channel 1) and you will begin transmitting. However, if you are currently paused on another channel after having received a signal (for example, channel 2), pressing the PTT switch will allow you to transmit on that channel, rather than returning to the revert channel. Scanning will resume after 5 seconds, unless a signal is present on the channel.

SQUELCH LEVEL

You can adjust the default squelch level of the transceiver.

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.

2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”59

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “59-8” (open), “59(default setting), or “59-2” (tight).

Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.

VOX OPERATION

1 Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 5 {below}.
2 To transmit, speak into the headset microphone.

- You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. The LED lights red.

3 To stop transmitting, stop speaking.

- Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop speaking. You can select the delay time as described on page 30.

4 To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to "GL-OF" (VOX function off).

VOX Gain Level

With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain level such that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient noise.

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”GL

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “ G_L-oF ” (VOX function off) or “ G_L-1 ” (VOX gain level 1) to “ G_L-5 ” (VOX gain level 5).

• While adjusting the VOX Gain level, speak into the microphone. When an appropriate level is reached, the LED lights orange.
• Setting the VOX gain level to OFF deactivates VOX. In order to transmit with VOX turned off, you must use the PTT switch.

VOX Delay Time

If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after you stop speaking, the end of your message may not be transmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time that allows your entire message to be transmitted. However, do not make the delay overly long.

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”dy

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “dy-0.1” (0.1 sec.), “dy-0.3 sec.), “dy-0.5” (0.5 sec.), “dy-(1 sec.), “ ” dy-1.5 (1.5 sec.), or “dy-3.0” (3 sec.).

- While adjusting the VOX Delay Time, speak into the microphone to simulate transmitting. The LED lights orange while speaking, but no signal is transmitted at this time.

Transmit Inhibit While Receiving

While using VOX, you can set the transceiver to detect when the channel is in use (in place of using the Monitor function). With this function turned on, VOX will not allow you to transmit while the channel is being used. You can transmit only when the channel is free. Setting up the proceed tone function {page 31} will notify you when the channel is free.

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “t 1-a n” (transmit inhibit while receiving on) or “t 1-a f” (transmit inhibit while receiving off).

VOX Proceed Tone

You can set the transceiver to sound an alert tone when you are able to transmit (transmission is no longer inhibited).

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.

2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”Pd

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “ P_d-a ” (VOX proceed tone on) or “ P_d-a F” (VOX proceed tone off).

- You can speak into the microphone at this time to simulate transmitting. The LED lights orange while speaking if your voice is at an appropriate level, but no signal is transmitted at this time.

FleetSync: ALPHANUMERIC 2-WAY PAGING FUNCTION

FleetSync is an Alphanumeric 2-way Paging Function, and is a protocol owned by JVC KENWOOD Corporation. Each transceiver has a unique ID which is used to decode signals from other callers.

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “[S-α]” (Call Alert Side Tone is on) or “[S-αF]” (Call Alert Side Tone is off).

SELCALL (SELECTIVE CALLING)

A Selcall is a voice call to a particular station or group of stations. Each transceiver is set up with an individual ID number for use with selcalls.

There are several types of Selcalls available: Individual, Group, and Broadcast.

• Individual Calls are calls made to individual parties.
• Group Calls are calls made to all parties within a group.
• Broadcast Calls are calls made to all parties in all groups.

The default status of the transceiver does not allow you to make a Selcall. Use the following procedures to set up your transceiver to allow Selcalls:

Step 1: Activate the FleetSync Optional Signaling

1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the▲ or ▼key to select “ ”(Optional Signaling).
3 Press the MENU key then press or to select “”F5 (FleetSync).

- A beep will sound and the transceiver will enter ID List Setting Mode.

2 Press the ▲ or ▼ key to select a list ID number.

3 Press the MENU key then press ▲ or ▼ to select “ad” (own ID).

- The default own ID setting is 01.

- When setting up your own ID, make sure that each member within your group sets up a unique ID number for their own ID. If an own ID number is duplicated, that transceiver cannot perform individual calls to other transceivers with the same own ID.

"Id" represents an Individual Call ID.

“GP” represents a Group Call ID.

“RL” represents a Broadcast Call ID.

“ad” represents your own ID number.

“--” clears the selected ID data.

4 Press the MENU key to confirm the selection.

5 Press the PTT, MON, or CAL key to return to normal operation.

6 Set up your group ID number by repeating steps 1 to 5, above. In step 3, select “GP” (group ID) instead of “”

- Ensure that all of your group members set up the same group ID.

7 You can also set up a broadcast ID number ("RL") which is used to make calls to all members of several groups.

- Ensure that all members of all groups set up the same broadcast ID.
