External Speaker

If you pla n to use the optional exte rnal speaker /s, The re are 2 options. For a single speaker, plug into the 3.5mm SP Jack on the rear of the radio to hear both bands through one speaker. To use dual speakers, use the optional Y cable and plug it into the 3.5mm ST Jack on the rear of the radio to split the left and right bands between the 2 speakers.

The rang e of disp la yed volt ag e is from 8V to16 V DC. Be ca us e the displayed value is estimated, please use a voltmeter when a more precise

reading is desired.

Antenna Connection

Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend on the type of antenna and its correct installation.

Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and lo w-los s coaxial feed-line that has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, to match the transceiver input

impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having

an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna

system and can cause interference to nearby televisions, 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.

All xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and transceiver damage.

External speaker

Microphone

For voice communications, connect a provided microphone into the socket on the front of the main unit. Turn the ring firmly on the plug until it locks. Attach the supplied microphone hanger in an appropriate location using the screws included in the screw set.

After insta lling your an tenna, ensure that you have the best possible SWR reading.

IMPORTANT: RF Hazard Warning

The electro-magnetic exposure of this device may exceed the European standards of the hazard level when transmitting at the high-power setting while connected to a unity gain antenna at a distance of 100cm or less from the operator. Furthermore, the hazardous RF exposure level depends on the conditions of the combination of the antenna gain, distance from the operator, output setting and installation environment, the refore the operator m ay be exposed to stronger RF even at a distance of more than 100cm. For safety purpose, it is recommended that the antenna be installed outside of, and as far as possible from, the operator’s area. Avoid using an excessively high-gained antenna in case the distance between the operator and the antenna is very limited. Always use the minimum necessary output power for communications.
