Thank you for choosing this vehicle transceiver, always pro vi des high qualit y products, And this t ra nsceiver is n o exception. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you will find that

Mobile radio

is pursuing "user friendliness". For example, each time you

change the menu no. in Menu mode, you will see a text message on the

display that lets you know what you are conguring.

Th o ugh frie n dly desi g n f o r us e r, th i s tr ansc e iver is tech n ical l y complicated and som e features may be new to you. Cons ider 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 re, personal injury,

or transceiver damage:

Do not attempt to configure 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 interfer en ti al devices (such as TV, generator etc.).

Do n ot expos e the tran sceiv er 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 Anytone service station or your dealer.

Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods; the transceiver may overheat.

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-

tapping screws (4pcs) and at washers (4pcs).

Initial Installation

DC Power Cable Connection

Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible.

Mobile Operation

The veh ic le battery must have a nominal rating of 1 2V. 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

to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.

We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as



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

use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to reinforce whole cable.

In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included), p ow er supply( QRP-01) as optional accessories. Please contact local dealer to require.

The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12A.

Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply

reading is desired.

Antenna Connection

Before operating, install an efcient, 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 imp edance 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 i nterference to near by broadcast televi sion 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.

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:

Programming Software Installing and Starting (in windows XP system)

Double click "QPS598 setup.exe", then follow the installing instruction.

Install USB Cable Driver Programme

Click start menu in computer, under "ALL PROGRAMS" menu,

choose and click "USB To Com port" in QPS598 program, install "USB To Com port" driver by indication.

Connect the optional PC50 USB Programming cable to USB port in

PC with transceiver.(As pic 1)

Double click QPS598 shortcut or click QPS598 in procedure index

of start menu, choose serial com port as indicated then click OK to start programming software. (As pic 2)

According to instruction, select correct "COM Port"(As pic 3), then

click "OK" to start programming software.

Even in same computer, the selective COM Port is different when

Note:

USB cable connects with different USB port.

You shall install software before connecting the USB cable line. Switch on transceiver before writing frequency. You had better not switch on or off the power supply of transceiver when it is connected with computer, otherwise, it will make transceiver unable to read or write frequency. In this case, you have to turn off programming software, pull out USB cable. then reinsert USB cable and open software, then rechoose COM Port, it will turn into normal operation. Therefore, please connect transceiver with computer after switching on the transceiver. Don't restart transceiver power when it is connected with computer.

Problem Possible Causes and Potential Solutions

(a) Power is on, nothing appears on Display.

(b) Fuse is blown.

(d) No sound comes from

speaker.

(e) Key and Dial do not function.

(i) Rotating Dial will not change memory channel.

(g) PTT key is pressed but transmission does not occur.

+ and - polarities of power connection are reversed. Connect red lead to plus terminal and black lead to minus terminal of DC power supply.

Check and solve problem resulting in blown fuse and replace fuse with new fuse.

Dimmer setting is "LAMP-L". Please make the dimmer setting "LAMP-H".

• Squelch is muted. Decrease squelch level.

• Tone or CTCSS/DCS squelch is active. Turn

CTCSS or DCS squelch off.

Key-lock function is activated. Cancel Key-lock function.

Transceiver is in CALL mode. Press the VFO or memory mode.

• Microphone connection is poor. Connect

microphone properly.

• Antenna connection is poor. Connect antenna

properly.
