"Display Mode" to select Amateur Transceiver mode or Professional Transceiver
mode.
B. Manual setup:Please refer to "Display Mode" in Page 43.
2.Amateur Transceiver Mode:Except setting as CH mode, others considered as
Amateur transceiver mode. Under this mode,press
key to switch between
Channel mode and VFO.
A.Frequency + Channel number mode: At this mode, When set display
as"FREQ",it enters into Frequency+Channel number 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

3.Professional Transceiver Mode:When set display mode as "CH",it enters into Professional Transceiver
mode.At this mode,except scan,talk around/frequency reverse,DTMF encode or editing,BEEP on/off
and keypad lock,other functions should be set by PC software
(As pic 4)

The battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use.Charging the battery pack
for the first 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. Change a new battery pack.
Charger Applied
Please use the specific 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 flashing
lamp or voice prompt, please charge the battery.
NOTES
▲
Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into fire. Never attempt to remove the casing
from the battery pack. We bear no responsibility on any results caused by modifying the battery
freely without permission of our factory.
▲
The ambient temperature should be between 5℃ and 40℃ while charging is in progress. 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.
