CAUTION:

RF Hazard Warming
The electro-magnetic (radio Frequency) exposure level 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 63cm 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, therefore
the operator may be exposed to stronger RF even at a distance of
more than 63cm. 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.

Put the pads to both sides
for more tightened.

DC Power Cable Connection

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.

Never use the cigarette lighter socket as a DC source.



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

Antenna Connection

Before operating, install an efcient, well-tuned antenna. The success of

your communication will depend on the type of antenna and its correct
installation.

Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss 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 rst connecting an antenna or other unmatched

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.

CTCSS/DCS Encode and Decode setup

Many repeaters require CTCSS or DCS
tone encoding to access the system. Tone
decoding features are often used to filter
unwanted signals. In this mode, regardless
of the main squelch status, the audio can
be heard ONLY when the matching tone/
code signal is received. The combination
of CTCSS squelch and DCS function is not
available; only one or the other may be used
for a given channel. Tone settings can be
programmed in memory channels. In memory mode, the setting may
be changed temporary but changing a channel or turning off the radio
will cancel the operation and returns to programmed setting.

Offset Direction and offset frequency setup

Repeater receives a signal(UP-LINK) on one frequency and re-transmits
on another frequency(DOWN-LINK). The difference between these two
frequencies is called the offset frequency. If the UP-LINK frequency is
higher than DOWN-LINK frequency, the direction is positive, If it is lower,
the shift direction is negative.

This operation is possible also in the memory mode but
temporaly. Changing frequencies or turning off the radio will reset
