When a narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.

The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and narrowband radios.

Safety Information and Warnings

Oricom DTX4200XP - Safety Information and Warnings - 1

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.

NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care facilities.

CAUTION

When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not damage any wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting position. Ensure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory and safety requirements for accessories fitted to your vehicle.

For optimum performance your radio needs to be installed correctly. If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners. Never press the PTT or CALL button before connecting the antenna to the radio.

Wiring Methods

There are two possible wiring configurations for connecting to the vehicles power supply.

A. Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF

Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly to the battery's negative terminal.

Connect the radio's positive (red) lead via the 3 Amp fuse to the battery's positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has DC Power continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 3 Amp fuse.

B. Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch

Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle's chassis, or directly to the battery's negative terminal.

The radio's positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory point in the vehicle's fuse box via the 3 Amp fuse.

Antenna information

The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance, to maximize your output power and receiver sensitivity.

A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna or one not designed for the correct frequency band will give poor performance. You should only purchase an antenna designed for the 477MHz frequency band.

Antenna installation

  1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a PL259 coaxial connector (not supplied).
  2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna and mount it in a good location. Never press the PTT or CALL button before connecting the antenna to the radio.
  3. For best performance always mount your antenna as high as possible and away from all other antennas or poles.

Duplex

General

Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio systems installed by interested parties (clubs, local business etc.) that receive transmissions on specific channels and re-transmit (or repeat) the received signal to another channel.

Channel 2 Channel 32 Repeater Station Channel 2 Channel 32

The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8 and 41 - 48) used by local repeater stations. When activated, your radio will receive the Repeater on its specific channel (all repeater outputs are on channel 1 to 8 and 41 to 48) but transmit to the repeater channel 31 through 38 and 71 to 78.

(Factory default is set to On for all repeater channels).

e.g.

CH01 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH31.

CH02 on Duplex mode will receive on CH02 but transmit on CH32.

If you transmit on CH01 duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31.

The repeater station receives your signal on CH31 and retransmits on CH01.

Your UHF radio allows you to pre-select Duplex operation individually on each channel.

For this example we are adopting CH01 as the channel being used for repeater use.

  1. Press Menu to display Duplex setting.
  2. Turn the Jog Wheel to change the setting between ON and OFF.
    Note: You can only turn Duplex on when you are on a duplex channel.
  3. Press PTT to save & exit from the menu mode.
  4. Duplex on icon is displayed when a selected channel is set to Duplex mode. See LCD Icons & Indicators on page 10 No.3.

CTCSS and DCS setting

This feature allows you to receive signals only from callers who have selected the same CTCSS and DCS code.

DCS is similar to CTCSS. It provides 104 extra, digitally coded, squelch codes that follow after the 38 CTCSS codes. CTCSS 1 - 38, followed by DCS 1 - 104. (Displays A0 to A4 for 100 to 104)

CTCSS and DCS are not available on CH05 and CH35. For your reference a list of the available channels, corresponding frequencies and guidelines for their use and selection is in the CTCSS and DCS channel list on pages 29 and 30.

For Australia, channel 05 and 35 are reserved for Emergency calls.

Group Tone setting

The group tone scan default tone selected is CTCSS 01 (67Hz).

You can select from CTCC 01 - 38 to DCS 01 to 104 code for Group tone scan.

96 Multi-colour Backlight

You can select from 96 different multi-colour backlighting for the LCD backlight.

Backlight dimmer

You can reduce the brightness of the backlight by selecting levels 1 to 5, off or Auto, which will adjust the level of brightness depending on ambient light.

Factory Reset

To reset your radio, press and hold SC/RM button while turning the power on.

The display "AL-reset" or "User-reset" will indicate reset type.

The reset type can be selected in menu mode.

User reset will not delete any stored memory channels.

AL-reset will clear all memory channels and reset all settings back to factory.

Squelch Tail

Squelch Tail is the noise heard after the transmitting party releases the PTT and is heard by the receiving party.

If Squelch tail is turned on, on both radios this squelch noise will be muted.

Busy channel Lock

If the channel is already in use, you can prevent the UHF CB radio from accidentally transmitting over a channel already in use. This is particularly important when using CTCSS/DCS.

Key Beep

The key beep emits a tone when you press any of the buttons on the microphone (except PTT button).

Logo Display

The logo display function can be enabled or disabled.

TPI

TPI Transmit Power Indicator

VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio is a measurement of how well the antenna (and cable) is matched to the radios output. It is best measured at the antenna as the cable can affect this measurement.

TPI indicates the level of RF power delivered to the antenna connector.

This allows you to see how well the antenna is matched to the UHF radio.

Generally a VSWR of less than 2 is an acceptable match.

Diagram showing five labeled rectangular panels with symbols and text, likely representing a technical or engineering layout.

Correct Antenna install with 5W

VSWR 1.2 with 4.5W

VSWR 2.6 with 4W

VSWR 3.5 with 3.5W

VSWR 4.4 with 3W

< 3W

The VSWR and Power test can vary depending on installation conditions. If TPI feature is turned off in the settings menu, the TPI indicator will show 5 bars during TX.

If an incorrect or no antenna is connected and power output is less than 3.5W, “ANT-X” will be displayed when TPI feature is turned on or off. When “ANT-X” is displayed, the radio has enabled protection mode and reduced RF output.

Scan resume time

You can select 5, 10, or 15 sec depending on your selection. SCAN will start again after a 5, 10, or 15 sec pause even though a signal is still present.

If P5 is selected, SCAN will stop on all channels as long as a signal is present. It will then resume SCAN again 5 seconds after no transmission is present.

Auto power OFF

The auto power off function is activated when no transmitting and no key function is present for the time selected.

The automatic power off time can be adjusted to OFF, 1, 2, or 4 hours in menu mode.

* The primary use for these channels is repeater operation using 750 kHz offset. Channels 1-8 inclusive are used for mobile reception and channels 31-38 for mobile transmission. Note that additional channels 41-48 and 71-78 are also available for repeater operation to supplement channels 1-8 and-31-38 respectively as approved by the ACMA CBRS Class Licence in Australia and the MED GURL in New Zealand. In addition, any designated repeater channel may be used for simplex operation in areas where it is not used for repeater operation.

† Speech telephony shall be inhibited on these channels.
‡ At the time of production Channels 61, 62 and 63 are guard channels and are not available for use.

Channels 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as emergency channels and should be used only in an emergency.

CTCSS and DCS will not operate on these channels.

A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to another unused "SIMPLEX" channel to allow others to use the calling channel.

UHF CB Radios normally transmit and receive on the same frequency which is known as the simplex operation.

Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice communications are not allowed on these channels by law.

Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
