PROGRAM CAUTIONS
When programming the transceiver, read the factory initial data rst, then rewrite the frequency and
signaling etc., other wise errors may occur because of different frequency ranges involved.
CAUTIONS
transceiver is excellent designed with advanced technology. The following tips will be helpful for you in
performing your obligation under warranty and understanding the safety of transceiver usage.
Keep the transceiver and accessories away from children.
1.
2.Please do not try to open or modify the transceiver without permission, non-professionals operation may also cause
damage.
3.Please use assorted battery and charger to avoid damage.
4.Please use assorted antenna to ensure the communication distance.
5.Please avoid exposing the radio under the sunshine for a long time or storing it in too hot places. High temperature will
shorten the life of electronic devices.
6.Please avoid storing the radio in the dusty, dirty and damp areas.
7.Please keep the radio dry. Do not wash radio with ardent chemicals and detergents.
8.Do not transmit without antenna.
9.When using this transceiver, we recom mend transmitting for 1 minu te then receiving for 4 minutes. c ontinuously
transmitting for long time or working in high power will heat the back of the transceiver. Do not place the transceiver's hot
back close to any plastics.
10.If any abnormal smell or smoke coming from the transceiver, please turn off the power instantly and take off the battery
and its case. Then contact local

OPERATION MODE (AMATEUR TRANSCEIVER OR
PROFESSIONAL TRANSCEIVER)
The transceiver is a high performance amateur transceiver with dual band, dual standby, dual display and
other kinds of functions. According to practical application, you can set the radio to operate as Amateur
Transceiver or Professional Transceiver. There are also 3 levels operation menu to set functions as per you
need. It is easy and convenient.
Operation Mode:1.
By programming software:A. In PC software's "General Setting" menu to
choose "Display Mode", channel mode works as Professional transceiver,
other two modes as Amateur transceiver.
By manual setup:B. Please refer to "Display Mode" in Page 47.
Amateur Transceiver Mode:
2. Except setting as CH mode, others considered
as Amateur transceiver mode. Under this mode, press key to switch
between Channel mode and VFO.
Frequency + Channel mode: A. At this mode, When set display as "FREQ", it
enters into Frequency+Channel mode, new setting of channel operation and
shortcut operation can be temporarily used by user. Once the radio is turned
off or switched to another channel, the temporary setting will be erased and
back to initial settings.(As pic 1)
Channel+Name Tag Mode:B. When set display as "NAME", it enters into
Channel+Name Tag Mode. At this mode, it will display corresponding
channel name when the current channel is edited with name. Otherwise, it
will display frequency + channel. Its operations are the same as frequency +
channel mode. (As pic 2)
(Pic 1)
(Pic 2)
(Pic 3)
(Pic 4)
03
WORKING MODE (AMATEUR TRANSCEIVER OR PROFESSIONAL TRANSCEIVER)
VFO Mode(Frequency mode): C. This mode shows only frequency on the display. Shortcut operation
and Channel setting will be changed & stored as the latest value permanently. Once the radio is
turned off or changed to new VFO frequency, the value is remained until next change.(As pic 3)
3. When set display mode as "CH", it enters into Professional Transceiver
Professional Transceiver Mode:
mode. At this mode, except scan, DTMF encode or editing, and keypad lock, other functions should be set
by PC software (As pic 4).
NOTE:If transceiver programmed transceiver as professional mode and locked, you can't return to amateur
transceiver mode by manually from Background operations setting.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Operation
The battery is not charged at the factory, please charge it before use. Charge the battery for the rst time
after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery to its normal operating
capacity. After repeating fully charge/ discharge cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will
reach the best performance. The battery life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is
fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery.
Battery Charger Type
Please use our company's designated charger, other models may cause explosion and injure people. After
installing the battery, if the radio red light twinkles and remind changing battery, please charge the battery.
Notice for Charging Battery
Do not shortcircuit our company designated charger. Never attempt to remove the casing from the ▲
battery, we show no responsibility on the faulty caused by modifying freely without permission of our
factory.
The ambient temperature should be between 5 ▲ ℃ and 40℃ in charging. Charging outside this range
may not fully charge the battery.
Always switch off the transceiver equipped with a battery before charging. Otherwise, it will interfere ▲
with correct charging.
To avoid interfering the charging procedure, please do not cut off the power or take out the battery ▲
during charging.
05
BATTERY INFORMATION
Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery or ▲
damage the battery.
Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. ▲
WARNING:
When keys or ornamental chains and other electric metals contact with the battery terminals, the battery
may cause damage or hurt bodies. If the battery terminal short circuit, it will generate a lot of heat, please
be careful when you bring or use the battery, please put battery or radio into insulated container. Do not put
it into metal container.
How to Charge
1.Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, then plug the
cable of AC adaptor into the DC jack, the indicator
lights orange for 1s and turns into GREEN---waits to
charge.
2.Slide the battery or transceiver with battery into the
charger; make sure the battery terminals are in contact
with the charging terminals well. LED turns into twinkling
RED---pre-charging begins.
3.Pre-charging for about 5 minutes, LED twinkles stop
then charging begins.
4.It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, when
LED turns into GREEN— full charged.

BATTERY INFORMATION
NOTE: When charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn into green to
show the full charge status. Only when turn off the transceiver, the LED can indicate normally.
Because when the transceiver is power on, it would consumes energy, the charger cannot detect when battery
has been fully charged, the charger will charge battery in voltage consumption and fail to indicate correctly.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Prompt
1. Self- examination: When charging, ORANGE light twinkles for 1 second and goes out. That 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, which means the charger can not pass its self-examination or charge the battery.
2. Trickle pre-charging: When the battery has been inserted into the charger and red light twinkles, which
means the remnant voltage is low, the charger trickle charge the battery (pre-charging status ), until the
battery reaches a certain electric quantity, the charger automatically turns into normal charging. And
if the red light stop twinkling, which means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric quantity, the
charger will charge the battery normally.
NOTE:The time for Trickle pre-charging should not exceed 30 min. If after 30 min, the red indicator is still
twinkling, it means it is unable to charge battery. Please kindly check battery and charger.
How to Store the Battery
1. If the battery needs to be stored for a long
period, the battery should be removed
from the radio. It's state of charge should
be 50-100% of full charge.
2.It should be kept in low temperature, dry
environment.
3.To keep away from hot places and direct
sunlight.
