Frequently Asked Questions - MX500 Oricom

How do I charge the MX500 radio?

Rotate the connector cap on top of the radio to expose the charging socket. Plug the supplied AC adaptor into the socket. The display shows 'CHG' and the battery icon. When fully charged, 'FL' appears. Unplug and replace the cap securely. The AC adaptor is not waterproof.

Does the MX500 float in water?

Yes, the MX500 floats in fresh or salt water when using the supplied accessories. An LED on the bottom flashes while floating. Using third-party batteries or accessories may cause it to sink.

How do I start scanning?

First, set desired channels as TAG channels by holding the FAV/TAG key for 1 second. Then press SCAN/DUAL to start normal or priority scan. The scanning stops when a signal is received or you press SCAN/DUAL again.

What is Dual/Tri-Watch?

Dual-Watch monitors Channel 16 while you operate on another channel. Tri-Watch monitors both Channel 16 and the call channel. Press and hold SCAN/DUAL for 1 second to activate. The display shows 'DW' or 'TW' while active.

How do I lock the keypad?

Press and hold the HI/LO key for 1 second to activate the Lock function. The lock icon appears. This disables all keys except PTT, VOL/SQL, ▲/▼, and the PTT. Repeat to unlock.

What is the battery life of the MX500?

The battery life depends on usage. With a 1500 mAh Li-Ion pack, typical operating time is about 8-12 hours under moderate use (e.g., 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby). Heavy transmit use will reduce battery life.

Can I replace the antenna?

Yes, the antenna is replaceable. Rotate the old antenna counter-clockwise to remove it, then attach a new one by rotating clockwise until secure. Always use an authorized antenna to avoid damage and ensure compliance.

How do I adjust the squelch?

Press VOL/SQL twice to enter squelch adjustment mode. The SQL icon blinks. Press ▲/▼ to set level (0 = open, 10 = maximum). The level should be set just above the point where background noise stops.

Is the MX500 completely waterproof?

The MX500 is water-resistant and floats, but it is not fully submersible. Avoid submerging if seals are damaged (e.g., cracked battery cover or DC cap). Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and dry before use.

What is the warranty period for the MX500?

Oricom provides a 2-year express warranty (including battery) from the date of purchase. You must provide proof of purchase. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, but not damage from misuse or unauthorized modifications.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), if the GT contains lines used for stylistic emphasis or as background elements (like ruled paper), the OCR result must ignore them. The line in the GT is clearly a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder for text. Therefore, the OCR should not have output any underscores. Outputting `____` constitutes an error under Rule 2, as it hallucinates placeholder symbols where none are semantically intended. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

A restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license most often

held by small vessel radio operators when a radio is not required for

RANGE

The range of VHF transmissions depends on antenna height.

transmitter power and the terrain over which the signals pass. For a 5

wall handheld radio, ship to ship communications up to 5 nautical

miles should be possible. Ship to shore ranges will often be greater

due to the increased height of the shore antenna.

■ Recommendation

Clean the transceiver thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's key switches and controllers may become unusable due to salt crystallization.

NOTE:DO NOT submerge the transceiver in water if there is any reason to suspect the waterproof protection may not be effective, for example, in cases where the battery cover or DC Jack cap rubber seal is damaged, the transceiver/battery cover:DC Jack cap is cracked or broken, or the transceiver has been dropped, or when the battery cover, antenna or DC Jack cap are detached from the transceiver.

Features

◆ Floats on Water

The radio floats in fresh or salt water when the supplied accessories

When a third-party battery pack, strap, antenna, etc. is used, it may sink.

◆ Floats and Flashes

An LED sends out intermittent light from a transparent section on the bottom of the radio, while floating in the water.

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signs quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and normal scan.

In addition, the weather alert and auto-scan functions are available for stand-by-convenience. These functions can be activated simultaneously, depending on the setting in set mode.

Normal Scan

It searches through all TAG channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless channel 16 is set as a TAG channel. Priority Scan

A priority scan sequentially searches through all TAG channels while monitoring Channel 16, when a signal is detected on Channel16, the scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, the scan switches to Dualwatch, until the signal disappears.
