Advice
• Do not use options or accessories not specified by
Entel
• Ensure that the radio is used within the parameters
for which it was designed
• Please switch the transceiver off before connecting
optional accessories
Warning
Turn the transceiver off in the following locations outside
of the radio’s ATEX approval rating:
• In explosive atmospheres (flammable gas, dust
including metallic & grain powders etc)
• Whilst taking on fuel or while parked near fuel
station
• Near explosives or blasting sites
• In aircraft, medical institutions or near persons
known to be wearing a pacemaker
Caution
• Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for
any reason

End of Life Disposal
• When your Entel transceiver reaches the end of its
useful life, please ensure that the unit is disposed of
in an environmentally friendly way. For country
specific information please see:
www.entel.co.uk/recycling
Cleaning your Radio
After exposure to any potentially corrosive substance
including salt water it is recommended to thoroughly
wash the transceiver in fresh water. If washing with the
battery removed from the radio, ensure that the battery
is not immersed in
water & clean only
with a damp cloth.
Note: Do not
wash the
transceiver if you
suspect the
waterproofing seal
may be damaged.
Please return to
your supplier for
inspection / repair.
Battery care
Introduction
Your Entel radio is supplied with a high performance
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. These batteries:
• Extend talk time
• Reduce the battery’s size and weight
• Do not suffer from ‘memory effect’ that reduces the
life of Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries
• Have a low toxicity, therefore reducing the impact
on the environment
Battery Pack Precautions
• Switch the transceiver OFF before charging
• Charge the battery pack before use
• Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully
charged. This could lead to a premature battery
replacement warning message (See Battery
Communications on page 4)
• Charge the battery in accordance with the
instructions enclosed with your charger
• Do not charge the transceiver and/or battery pack
if they are wet
The battery pack includes potentially hazardous
components. Please:
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery
• Do not short-circuit the battery
• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery
4
Battery Care / Information
• Do not immerse the battery unless attached securly
to the radio in water or get it wet by other means
• Do not charge the battery near fires or under
direct sunlight
• Use only the specified charger and observe
charging requirements
• Do not pierce the battery with any object or
strike it with an instrument
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any
way
• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the
battery
• Do not touch a ruptured or leaking battery
If liquids from the battery get into your
eyes, immediately:
• Wash your eyes out with fresh water avoiding
rubbing them. Seek medical treatment
Battery Pack
• If a battery is not to be used for an extended period
of time (e.g. several months) remove the battery
pack from the equipment and store in a cool and
dry location (around 0°C) part charged. Do not fully
discharge the battery before storage.
• Each charge cycle reduces the battery’s life.
Minimise the number of times you charge your battery especially in hotter environments which further
shortens a battery’s life.
The battery pack has an over-current protection
circuit fitted. When charging a completely discharged
battery i.e. first charge, ensure the battery is
removed from the radio and then re-attached (if
fitted to radio when charging). This will reset the
protection circuitry and ensure normal operation. This
process will need to be repeated if the battery is allowed to completely discharge in the future. In normal
use this is unlikely.
Battery Communications
Each battery used with your radio has a
microprocessor fitted, which logs the number of times
your battery has been charged.
On a radio with an LCD display, the number of times
the battery has been charged, together with the
remaining charge cycles available, will be shown during
switch on (If not de-activated by your dealer).
The warranty on all batteries is 12 months or 450
charge cycles, whichever is the sooner. After 420
cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a series of short
tones, and on LCD models a waste bin icon will flash
to alert you to the need to buy a new battery.
After 450 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a
series of long beeps, and on LCD models the message
will change to BATTERY COUNT EXCEEDED
REPLACE BATTERY. The radio will continue to
operate but its operational time may be reduced,
eventually failing all together.
Note: only genuine Entel batteries should be used.
Only genuine batteries offer the battery charge count
feature informing you when the battery is reaching the
end of its useful life. Non ATEX batteries will not work
on ATEX radios ensuring customer safety.
Customer satisfaction is assured as you can not be
supplied with sub standard, potentially dangerous
battery packs from 3rd party manufacturers, ensuring
it delivers the expected capacity and endurance.
On HT series batteries a breathable membrane is used.
This is clearly marked on the battery label.
Piercing the membrane will allow water ingress to the
battery and will invalidate the warranty.

Using Your Radio
Turning Your Radio On
Turn your radio on using the on / off volume control on the top of the radio. The radio will “beep”
and the LED will briefly illuminate yellow (the beep may be disabled, if required, by your Entel approved dealer).
Making a Call
Before transmitting on your radio, first ensure that the channel is not in use (yellow or green busy LED
will be illuminated and audio may be heard from speaker). To transmit press and hold the PTT button
on the side of the radio and speak clearly 25-50mm from the microphone.
Release the button to receive.
Transmit Time Out Timer (T.O.T.)
A transmit time out timer is enabled on your radio. This will prevent the radio from transmitting continuously. The maximum transmit duration is set to 90 seconds. If the transmit button is pressed for
this duration, the radio will generate an alert tone 10 seconds before automatically ending the transmission, when a continuous tone will be emitted (the T.O.T. duration is dealer adjustable).
Button Key Beeps
The radio will emit a short confirmation beep when pressing any of the function buttons. This
confidence tone confirms the button has been correctly pressed (key beeps may be disabled by your
dealer).
Channel Monitor Button (Dealer Programmable Function)
Tone/squelch defeat disables both CTCSS and DCS tones used and opens the squelch on the radio.
This will allow you to monitor any transmissions taking place that are not on the same CTCSS/DCS
tone on the channel you have selected and listen to any weak signals that may be breaking up. When
activated, you will hear either a rushing noise or any other channel users.
Low Battery Warning
Alerts you when the battery needs to be recharged. A ‘beep-beep’ audible alert every 20
seconds and flashing red LED will indicate the battery is towards the end of its duty cycle and needs to
be charged (see battery care on page 4 for information on battery life warning alerts).
Panic Alarm Siren
The radio has a local panic alarm button, which, when pressed, will emit a loud piercing siren from the
radio’s loudspeaker. To operate the local panic alarm, press the orange function button on top of the
radio for a minimum of 2 seconds. To cancel the alarm, simply turn the radio off.
Button Lock (Dealer Programmable Function)
A button lock feature is available to lock the channel control and other side / top function
button modes (except panic alarm). If available, press the assigned button to turn button lock on / off.
If a long button press is used to enable button lock, when unlocking, an error tone will be heard until
the button lock disables.
