advanced characters like cross band repeat function, built with a
direct-ow heat sink and thermostatically-controlled cooling fan
maintaining a safe temperature for the transceiver's circuit.
Dual band mobile radiao has four independent receiving
bands, consist of UU, UV,VU,VV for dual receive and dual
output, plus receiving for AM/FM signal of air band, marine band,
PMR, etc.also able to receive FM/TV radio and analogue TV
signal. It owns 758 memory channels, full duplex operation with
independent volume and squelch controls, compander and builtin CTCSS/DCS, DTMF, 5TONE,2TONE signaling, detachable
front panel for exible installation.
Though friendly design for user, this transceiver is technically
complicated and some features may be new to you. Consider
this manual to be a personal tutorial from the designers,allow the
manual to guide you through the learning process now, then act
as a reference in the coming years.
Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire,
personal injury, or transceiver damage:
Do not attempt to congure your transceiver while driving,it
is dangerous.
This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V DC power supply.
Don't use a 24V battery to power on the transceiver.
Do not place the transceiver in
excessively dusty, humid or wet areas,
nor unstable surfaces.
Please keep it away from interferential
devices (such as TV, generator etc.)
Do not expose the transceiver to long
periods of direct sunlight nor place it
close to heating appliances.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the
transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately. Contact an
the service station or your dealer.
Do not transmit with high output power for extended
periods; the transceiver may overheat.

Initial Installation
MOBILE INSTALLATION
To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your
vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the
vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position
so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your
vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct
sunlight.
Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-

DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION
Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible.
NOTE
MOBILE OPERATION
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V
vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current
to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during
transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.
Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
1.
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket
as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable
voltage drop.
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.
After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
2.
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget
to reinforce whole cable.
In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down

connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
Conrm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the

power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive
(+) terminal and black connects 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.

When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON(Start) position
with the radio turned off, the power switch illuminates. The
illumination will be turned off when the ignition key is turned
to the off position.To turn on the unit, press the power switch
manually while it is illuminated. (While ignition key is at ACC or
ON position)
When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON position with the
radio's power switch on, the unit turns on automatically and the
power switch will be lit. Turn the ignition key to OFF position or
manually turn the power switch off to shut down the radio.
Using extra cable,power consumption:5MAH.
Without this function,user can turn on/off radio by Power knob.

FIXED STATION OPERATION
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you
will need a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included) , power
supply( QRP-01) as optional accessories. Please contact local
dealer to require.
The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12A.
ACC terminal
Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply

and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive,
Black:negative).
Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver
to a regulated power supply.
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.

REPLACING FUSES
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed
fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your
authorized dealer or an authorized servicecenter for assistance.

an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television
receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other
matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect
the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
NOTE
All xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to
reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and transceiver damage.
The possible locations of antenna on a car are shown as following:

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
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
NOTE
discharged, and will not have sufcient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid
using the transceiver in these conditions.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before operating, install an efcient, 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 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that
has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to match the transceiver input
impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having
