BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Operation

The battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use.

Charging the battery pack for the rst time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 moths)

may not bring the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After fully charging/ discharging cycle

for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach its best performance. The battery pack life

is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the

battery pack.

Charger Applied

Please use the specic charger appointed by our company. Other models may cause explosion

and personal injury. After installing the battery pack, if the radio displays low battery with red ashing

lamp or voice prompt, please charge the battery.

NOTES

Do not short the battery terminals or ▼ throw the battery into re. Never attempt to remove the
casing from the battery pack, we show no responsibility on any results caused by modifying
freely without permission of our factory.
The ambient temperature should be between 5 ▼
Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a battery pack before charging. Otherwise, it ▼
will interfere with correct charging.
To avoid interfering the charging, please do not cut off the power or take out the battery during ▼
charging.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the ▼
battery pack or damage the battery pack.
Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. ▼

WARNING:
When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact with the battery terminal, the battery
may cause damage or hurt bodies. If the battery terminal short circuit it will generate a lot of heat.
Take care when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into insulated
container.Do not put it into metal container.

How to Charge

Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug 1.
the cable of the AC adaptor into the DC jack located
on the back of the Charger. The Indicator l ig hts
orange (1s) and then goes out----waits to charge.
Plug the battery or transcei ver into the charger. 2.
Make sure that the battery terminals are in contact
with charging terminals well. The Indicator turns into
twinkling red-----Pre-charging begins.

After pre-charging for about 5 minutes, the 3. indicator
will stop twinkling----charging begins.
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the 4.
battery. When the lamp lights green, the charging is

nished. Remove the battery or the transceiver equipped with battery from socket.

BATTERY INFORMATION

NOTE: when charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the indicating lamp will not
turn into green to show the fully charged status. Only when the transceiver is switched off, can the
lamp indicate normally. The transceiver consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger can
not detect the voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge battery in
constant voltage and fail to indicate correctly whether the battery has been charged fully.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Normal Charging Tips

Self- Examination:1. When charging, orange light twinkles for 1 second and goes out, which means

the charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light

remains orange or the red light twinkles, it means the charger can not pass its self-examination or
charge the battery.

Trickle Pre-Charging:2. If red light twinkles when battery is inserted into the charger, it means the

remnant voltage is low and the charger is trickle-charging the battery (Pre-Charging Status). The
charger will automatically turn into normal charging when the battery reaches a certain electric

quantity, And if the red light stops twinkling, it means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric
quantity, the charger will charge the battery normally.

NOTE:
Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Status) time can not beyond 30 minutes. If the indicating lamp still
twinkles after 30-minute trickle-charging, it means that the charger can not charge the battery. Please
check whether the battery or charger is damaged.

How to Store the Battery

If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 50% discharged.1.
It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.2.

Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight. 3.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

CTCSS / DCS Encode / Decode

Users can set independent CTCSS / DCS encode / decode for every channel by programming

software.

Optional Signaling

Users can enable or disable the Optional Signaling in every channel by programming software.
This Signaling function is similar to CTCSS/DCS which embodies functions as Selective Call, Group
Call, All Call, PTT ID, and Remotely stun and Waken.

1. PTT ID: If current channel is edited with PTT ID, the transceiver will send transmitting ID when
pressing or releasing PTT key.
You can set group call wildcard for each group2. by programming software . (DTMF character A.
B.C.D.*** or “#”).

The caller can call different groups by sending different group call codes. When the receiving

party receives a valid ID code, one or all of the characters would be replaced by wildcard characters

and the receiving part can realize all call, group call or selective call. It is much easy and exible to
realize all call, group call and etc by using group call code.

For example:

Group code :"C"

Radio A Radio B Radio C Radio D

ID code of the receiving party is 123

If the calling party uses "C23" to call, Radio A and Radio B will receive the call.

If the calling party uses"CC5" to call, Radio C and Radio D will receive the call.

If the calling party uses "CCC" to call, All Radios would receive the call..

Wide / Narrow Band Setup

On the basis of national conditions, users can set channel spacing as 25K (wide band), 20K (
middle band) or12.5K (narrow band) to communicate on the transceiver by programming software.

This transceiver can realize 25K (wide band), 20K (medium band) or 12.5K (narrow band) as
communication way.

Busy Channel Lockout

When BCL function is enabled, you can not transmit in busy channel. BCL prevents you from
interfering with other parties who is using the same frequency point that you select. Under this
condition, if you press the [PTT] to transmit, the transceiver will emit beep prompt and return to

receiving mode.

Users can set Busy Channel Lockout mode by programming software.

Repeater (BTL):1. Repeat lockout, transmitting is inhibited when current channel receives a
matched carrier with different CTCSS/DCS.

Carrier wave (BCL):2. Carrier busy lockout, transmitting is inhibited when current channel receives
a matched carrier wave.

3. Close: BCL disabled, you can do transmission under whatever receiving state.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

Signaling Relations Setup

Users can set relations between CTCSS/DCS signal and DTMF signal by programming software.

AND: Only when a matching CTCSS/DCS signal and a DTMF signal are received, can calling of
other party be heard.

OR: As long as a matching CTCSS/DCS signal or a DTMF signal is received, calling of the other
party can be heard.

Channel Scan Skip

Users can choose whether to set current channel as Scan Skip by programming software.
Transceiver will skip current channel during scan when it is set as Scan Skip.

TX OFF

Users can enable or disable the Transmitting Inhibited Function in current channel by programming
software. Once this function is enabled, [PTT] key becomes invalid key, and the transceiver only

works in receiving mode.

Battery Save Setup

When this function is enabled, the transceiver can efficiently reduce battery consumption. The

transceiver will automatically switch on Battery Save Function when not receiving any signal or

making any operations. But when the transceiver receives a matching signal or make operations, it

Time-out Timer

The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended

period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time

set in advance, the transceiver will stop transmitting with voice prompt.

Users can set TOT timer by programming software.

Time-Out Timer Pre-Alarm

The Time-Out Timer Pre-Alarm is to alarm users that overtime transmission is going to happen.

Users can program desired TOT Pre-Alarm time by programming software.

TOT Re-transmitting Time Setup

TOT Re-transmitting Time is the interval betw ee n the stopped overtime transmission and
allowed re-transmission. Pressing PTT key before Re-transmitting time, the transceiver will inhibit
