Frequently Asked Questions - PMR 005 AUDIOLINE

How do I pair two PMR 005 units?

Make sure both radios are on the same channel (1-8) and subcode (if enabled). Press the PTT button to talk; release to listen.

What is the maximum range of the PMR 005?

Up to 10 km in open areas with no obstacles. In urban or wooded areas, the range will be significantly reduced.

How do I change the battery?

Open the battery compartment on the back, insert 3 AAA batteries (1.5V each), respecting polarity. Close the cover securely.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

Yes, you can use Ni-MH rechargeable AAA batteries. Note that battery life may be shorter than with alkaline batteries.

How do I activate VOX?

Press and hold the Menu button until the VOX icon appears on the display. Use the up/down buttons to enable or disable VOX.

Why is the range shorter than expected?

Range depends on terrain and obstacles. Buildings, hills, and trees reduce range. Ensure antennas are fully extended and batteries are fresh.

1 Important information

Please read these operating instructions carefully. If you should have any questions, please contact our Service Department on the Hotline number 0180 5 00 13 88. Under no circumstances open the unit yourself and do not try to carry out your own repairs. For any claims under the warranty, please refer to your dealer.

Batteries

Please always use only type AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries. Do not throw batteries into the fire or immerse in water. Do not dispose of old or defective batteries with the normal household waste. Be sure to remove the batteries from the unit if you do not intend to use it for more than 1 month. Batteries that have been left in the unit can discharge in a few months. Flat batteries can leak, which can damage the contacts or the sensitive electronics in the unit.

Disposal

If the useful life of the batteries or the radios has expired, please dispose of these carefully in accordance with the statutory requirements and in a manner friendly to the environment.

Cleaning and care

The surface of the case can be cleaned with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive solvents. No attention is necessary apart from cleaning the case occasionally. Never leave the unit in a damp or dusty place. Avoid proximity to sources of heat such as radiators and do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.

Important safety information

• Do not use the radios in areas where there is a risk of explosion, such as fuel stores, blasting areas, chemical stores or areas in which chemicals or other solids are present in the air. Always follow all information signs. Areas at risk of explosion are not always clearly marked however.
• Changing batteries in areas at risk of explosion means a danger to life.
• If the radio becomes wet, switch it off immediately and remove the batteries. Do not use the radio until it is completely dry.
• When transmitting, always hold the radio vertically and approximately 2.5 to 5 cm from your mouth.
• When receiving, hold the radio at least 2.5 cm from your head.
• In order to avoid electromagnetic conflicts, switch the radios off if requested to do so by an information sign.
• If you are not sure whether the use of radios is permitted (aeroplanes, boats, hospitals, etc.) ask a responsible person before using the radios.
• In the car, never place radios above an airbag, as loose objects are flung away with force when the airbag is released and present a risk of injury.
• Excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture, heat or the direct rays of the sun must be avoided.

To speak yourself, press the PTT talk button on the left-hand side. Hold the unit about 5 cm from your mouth and speak in a normal voice. When you have finished, release the talk button. The person you are speaking to will hear a signal tone (Roger beep) when you have released the talk button. This will indicate to the other subscriber that you have finished speaking and are waiting for a reply.

Note: Remember that all radios, which are set to the same channel and are within receiving range, will be able to hear your call at the same time.

15 volume levels can be set using the + and buttons.

Note:

- While you are holding the talk button, you will not be able to hear any incoming calls. As is usual with radio units, only one of the two participants in the call can speak at any one time.

4.6 Range of the radios

The radios have a range of up to 3 km outdoors. This maximum range can be reduced under certain circumstances. You can achieve maximum range in open, flat conditions. If there are buildings or trees in the signal path then the range will be reduced. The range is even further reduced in hilly terrain.

4.7 Increasing the maximum range

The radios are equipped with a so-called Auto-Squelch system, by means of which weak transmissions and undesirable noises are automatically filtered out during use. This Auto-Squelch system can be temporarily switched off in order to increase the range.

Press the MENU button three times. The automatic suppression will be switched off and it will now be possible for even very weak signals to be received for a few seconds. The radio will then switch back to the normal mode.

4.8 Channel search (scan mode)

When channel search (scan) is switched on, all 8 channels are continuously polled until the radio finds a channel that is being used for speech.

1. Press the MENU button twice. The indicator will appear in the display.
2. Channel search is started by means of the + button. After a few seconds, all channels will be searched one after the other. If a channel is found, which is being used for speech, the channel search will stop and you will be able to hear the conversation. If the channel that has been found is no longer being used for speech, the channel search will automatically be continued after a few seconds.
3. To deactivate this function once more, press the MENU button twice and then the - button. Confirm with the PTT talk button on the left-hand side.
