NAMING À MEMORY CHANNEL =

Select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that will minimize danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the transceiver under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees or legs will not strike the radio during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to a pick well-ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight. Note: You may experience interference on your GPS receiver when using in or around 438.8 MHz (A band) and/or 443.8 MHz (B band). To eliminate the interference, ensure that the transceiver is installed at a location separate from your GPS receiver. 1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws and flat washers (4 of each are supplied). + The bracket can be mounted with the bracket opening facing down, for underdash mounting, or facing up. + The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw slots on the edge of each bracket side are facing the back. Self-tapping screw TT (5 x 16 mm) F4 . F4 Flat washer

2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws and flat washers (4 of each are supplied, 2 for each side of the bracket). + Ensure that all hardware is tightened, to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.

SEMS screw (M4 x 10 mm) Set an appropriate angle for the main unit, using the 3 screw slots on the rear edge of each bracket side.

POWER CABLE CONNECTION

Æ Mobile Operation Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. lf the current to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.

Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver direcily to the vehicle’s battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver. + When using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle. + _ We do not recommend using a cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. + _lfthe power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body, for example in the firewall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to pass the cable through the firewall. + The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables.

_|l —— 2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable. 3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative (—) battery terminal before connecting the transceiver. 4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black connecis to the negative (-—) terminal. Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess, even if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable. 5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal. 6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.

ANTENNA CONNECTION Before operating, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 Q, to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 Q reduces the efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. A [CAUTION + Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. + All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or transceiver damage.

Repeaters are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, sometimes with the cooperation of local businesses involved in the communications industry. Compared to simplex communication, you can usually transmit over much greater distances by using a repeater. Repeaters are typically located on mountain tops or other elevated locations. They generally operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combination of elevation and high ERP allows communications over considerable distances.

—— LL PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY (PM) Programmable Memory (PM) stores virtually all settings currently set on the transceiver. This transceiver provides 5 PM channels to store 5 sets of transceiver configurations. Later, you can quickly recall any one of these channels, depending on the operations you have in mind or the operating environment. The following programmable settings cannot be stored: + Memory name + Memory channel lockout + Channel Display mode + Locked-band/ Cross-band Repeater ON/OFF ! - Repeater mode ! - Repeater hold !

—— LL APPLICATION EXAMPLES The following are examples of how you might use Programmable Memory. These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the flexibility of this function. Situation: You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver. Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. lt is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features. Situation: While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrup the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is useless in the sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly does serve a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark. Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etcl, and store different settings for the Display brighiness and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operation. Situation: You cannot figure out how to exit the current transceiver mode. Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels.

CROSS-BAND/ LOCKED-BAND OPERATION (K TYPE MODELS ONLY) This transceiver is capable of receiving signals on one band and retransmitting signals on the other band. This function repeats signals originating from one band, using the other band. For example, a signal received on band A (VHF) is retransmitted on band B (UHF). Similarly, a signal received on band B (UHF) is retransmitted on band A (VHF). Locked-band Repeater: The transceiver uses the same band to receive or transmit a signal. You can set either the A band (A-TX) or B band (B-TX) as the transmit band. Cross-band Repeater: lf receiving a signal on the TX band, the transceiver switches the current RX only band to the TX band. This is useful when joining in a group talk. Participants in a group talk need to set a receive and transmit frequency on different bands so as not to miss any conversation within the group. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 403 (RPT.MOD) {page 20}.
