IMPOR TANT INFO RMATION CONCERNIN G

UHF CB RADIO

The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA

Radio communications (Citizens Band radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED). A General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is subject to conditions contained in those licences.

The class licence for users and equipment operating in the CB/PRS 477 MHz

band has been amended. This radio meets the new 80 channel standard.

In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available; however, radio

transceivers can now operate in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These radios are generally referred to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40 channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80 channels thereby doubling the channel capacity and relieving congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.

Original 40 channel wideband radios will continue to operate on the original

40 channels, however they will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41 – 80. The newer narrowband radios will be able to converse with all older 40 channel wideband radios on all channels 1 – 40 as well as the newer channels allocated from 41 – 80.

The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the same spectrum can

cause some possible operating issues of interference and var ying levels of received volume.

POSSIBLE ISSUES

When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband

radio the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for best performance.

When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio,

the speech may sound quiet – simply adjust your radio volume for best performance.

Depending on how close your receiving radio is to another transmitting radio,

there can be interference from the transmitting radio if it is using a channel adjacent to the channel you are listening to. Simply try going up or down a few channels from the currently selected channel.

The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of operating

wideband and narrowband radios in the same bandwidth. This possible interference will decrease over time as the population of wideband radios ages and decreases.

Further information and updates are available from the Australian

Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at www.acma.gov.au and the Ministry of Economic Development (MED), Radio Spectrum Management at:

www.rsm.govt.nz

EMERGENCY CHANNELS

The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use only. Channel 5 is the

primary Simplex Emergency Channel. Where a channel 5 repeater is available, you should select Duplex on channel 5.

NOTE: Channel 35 is the input channel for the channel 5 repeater therefore

channel 35 should also not be used for anything other than emergency transmissions.

TELEMETRY CHANNELS

ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23 for telemetry-only

applications and have prohibited the transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently the radio has a transmit-inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23.

In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by

the ACMA, these channels shall be added to those currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited. Currently, transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved for future allocation.

IMPOR TANT ADVICE

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before operating your radio and retain this manual for future reference.

• NEVER connect the radio to a power source other than the supplied battery. This may damage your radio.

• DO NOT place your radio in front of a vehicle airbag.

• DO NOT use your radio with a damaged antenna.

• DO NOT attempt to modify your radio in any way.

• ALWAYS charge your radio at normal room temperature.

• ALWAYS switch off your radio where notices restrict the use of two–way radio or mobile telephones.

• ON LY use GME approved rechargeable battery packs with the supplied charger.

• AVOID storing or charging your radio in direct sunlight.

• AVOID storing or using your radio where temperatures are below -20°C or above +60°C.

CHARGING T HE BATTERY

The TX665 is powered by a 3.7V 1000mAh Li-ion battery pack. The battery pack should be fully charged before being used for the ﬁrst time to ensure maximum capacity is available.

CHARGING THE TX665 SINGLE UNIT

The TX665 is supplied with a 240V AC adaptor and a USB lead. The AC adaptor will charge a fully discharged TX665 battery pack to full capacity in around 2 hours.

To charge the radio

1. Plug the AC adaptor into a 240V AC outlet.

2. Plug the USB lead into the USB socket on the AC adaptor and the micro USB connector into the charging socket on the side of the radio.

While the radio is charging, the indicator LED on the radio will light RED and the batter y icon on the display will animate. Once the batter y is fully charged, the indicator LED will change to GREEN and the battery icon will show the fully charged state.

CHARGING THE TX665 TWIN PACK

The TX665 Twin Pack is supplied with a twin desktop charger, 240V AC adaptor and a USB lead. The twin desktop charger with the AC adaptor connected will charge two fully discharged TX665 battery pack s to full capacit y in around 3 hours.

To charge the radios

1. Plug the AC adaptor into a 240V AC outlet.

2. Plug the USB lead into the USB socket on the AC adaptor and the micro USB connector into the socket on the rear of the desktop charger.

3. Place the radios into the twin desktop charger.

While the radios are charging, the

TX665 radios indicator LEDs on the radios will light RED and the battery icons on the display will animate. Once the batteries are fully charged, the indicator LEDs will change to GREEN and the battery icons will show the fully charged state.

IN-VEHICLE CHARGING

A 12V vehicle charger (BCV010) is available as an accessory. This will charge a single fully discharged TX665 battery pack to full capacity in around 4 hours using 12V DC from your vehicle’s accessory socket.

When connecting the 12V vehicle charger to the twin desktop charger, two fully discharged TX665 battery packs can be charged to full capacity in around 6* hours (with radios switched off).

* NOTE: When using the 12V vehicle charger to charge two radios via the twin

desktop charger, we recommend switching both radios off while charging to ensure the batteries reach their full charge in the allotted period. If one or more radios remain switched on during the charging cycle the batteries will achieve close to their full charge in the allotted time but the indicator LED may not switch to GREEN. This is due to the lower charge current available from the 12V vehicle charger.

TO REMOVE THE BELT CLIP

1. Hold the radio with the belt clip facing towards you.

2. Push the release clip downwards to release the locking mechanism while sliding

the belt clip upwards.

3. The belt clip will slide off the radio.

4. Unplug the connector at the top of the battery compartment and remove the battery.

5. Place the new battery in the battery compartment.

6. Plug the connector into the socket ensuring the RED (positive) wire is on the right

(the connector should only ﬁt one way).

7. Reinstall the battery cover ensuring the wires do not become jammed in the cover.

BATTERY USAGE

The time taken to discharge the battery pack will depend on how you use the radio. The battery pack supplied is powerful enough for up to 17 hours of use under average conditions using low power.

BATTERY LOW ALERT

When the battery icon blinks on the radio’s display, the battery level is low and the batter y pack should be recharged.

CONSERVING BAT TERY POWER

The radio has built-in power saving features to help you get the maximum amount of time between charges from your Li-ion bat tery pack. If you need to operate your radio in a situation where you require maximum batter y life (e.g. a remote site where there is no convenient recharging facility nearby) the following hints can greatly reduce the amount of power drawn from the battery pack.

STANDBY MODE

The radio will automatically enter the ‘Standby’ mode when it is inactive (i.e. not transmitting or receiving signals).

While in Standby mode it will still check for incoming signals but it will draw considerably less power from the battery pack. As soon as a signal is heard or the keys are pressed the radio will ‘wake up’ again. This Standby mode is automatic and by itself can extend the battery life by many hours.

PAGE 10 INSTRUCTION MA NUA L T X665

Page 11

USING CTCSS/DCS

If you are expecting to receive signals on a busy channel, you can program that channel for CTCSS/DCS operation and get the other person to call you using the same CTCSS/DCS tone. Your radio will then remain in Standby and ignore all other signals until your selected CTCSS/DCS tone is received.

SCANNING

The radio draws more power from the battery pack when scanning than when monitoring a single channel. This is because it must ‘wake up’ more often to monitor each channel for activity. In addition, scanning increases the chance of ﬁnding a signal thereby keeping the receiver ‘awake’ and the Squelch open more often.

LOW TRANSMIT POWER SETTINGS

The transmitter has both high and low power settings. If you are only operating over short distances, are in a reasonably high location or are close to a local repeater, try using the Low transmitter power setting. This reduces the transmitter power to 0.5 watts which increases the talk time available.

GENERAL OPERATION

POWER ON/OFF

To switch the radio on or off, hold the

or keys to increase or decrease the volume. ‘VOL’ is displayed along

with a value from 1 (min) to 9 (max).

SELECTING CHANNELS

Hold the MENU key for 2 seconds. The channel number will ﬂash. Press the step up one channel of the key to step down one channel. Press and hold the or

keys to quickly scroll up or down through the channels.

To exit the channel mode press the PTT or simply wait. The channel mode will automatically time out after 10 seconds.

DISPLAY LIGHTING

The LCD backlighting activates automatically whenever a key is pressed and turns off automatically after about 5 seconds.

RECEIVING SIGNALS

While the radio is not receiving signals, it will remain in Standby mode to conserve batter y power and ‘SAVE’ will be displayed. When a signal is received, the LED indicator on the upper edge of the radio will light GREEN and the appear on the display. Adjust the VOLUME control for a comfortable listening level.

If the incoming signal is encoded with a CTCSS or DCS tone matching the one set in your radio, the LED indicator will light Orange and you will be able to hear the signal in the speaker. If the LED indicator lights GREEN and the cannot hear the signal, it is likely that the incoming signal is using a different CTCSS or DCS tone to that selected in your radio (see Menu options for more details on setting CTCSS/DCS tones).

If no further signals are received, the unit will return to Standby mode after a few seconds.

TRANSMITTING

To transmit, press and hold the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch. The other radio you are talking to must be set to the same channel. Hold the radio approximately 2 – 5 cm from your mouth with the antenna vertical and speak into the built-in microphone.

While the PTT switch is pressed, the LED indicator on the upper edge of the radio will light RED and the

icon will appear on the LCD. When you have ﬁnished speaking, release the PTT switch to receive incoming signals (it is not possible to transmit and receive at the same time). If no further signals are received, the unit will revert to Standby mode.

TIP: The PTT switch can also be used to transmit a Call Alarm melody.

When the Call Alarm melody is enabled (see Menu options for more details on Call Alarm settings), pressing the PTT switch twice quickly will play the Call Alarm melody in the speaker of other radios on the same channel to alert them to your call. During this time the

icon is displayed and the LED indicator will light RED for

about 5 seconds. The Call Alarm can only be sent once per minute.

SQUELCH

The Squelch is used to eliminate the background noise when there are no signals present. When the Squelch is open the receiver’s background noise can be heard. When the Squelch is closed the receiver remains quiet while there are no signals present but any incoming signals will override the Squelch and be heard in the speaker.

To open the Squelch, brieﬂy press the SQL key. This will allow you to check the current channel for activity before transmitting, par ticularly if you have CTCSS enabled. When the Squelch is open, the LED indicator on the upper edge of the radio will light Green and the

and icons will appear on the display. During this time

you will hear static or hiss if the channel is clear. Do not transmit if you hear any signals.

To close the Squelch, brieﬂy press the SQL key again.

NOTE: The Squelch sensitivity is preset in the Menu – Squelch Level setting (see

Menu options for more details on setting the Squelch sensitivity).

KEYPAD LOCK

The Keypad Lock disables the keys to prevent accidental key presses from changing the preferred settings of the radio. When the keys are locked, the

icon is displayed and all key presses are ignored except for the PTT, SQL and the Keypad unlock sequence.

To lock the Keypad press the F key (the F icon will appear) then hold the

key.

The icon will appear on the display.

To cancel the Keypad Lock, press the F key then hold the

key. The icon

will disappear.

Page 13

DUPLEX OPER ATION

Duplex operation allows the radio to transmit on a different frequency to that which it receives. This allows operation through repeater stations in your area. Repeaters automatically re-transmit your signal over a much wider area, providing greatly increased range. The Duplex mode only works on designated repeater channels 1 – 8 and 41 – 48. With Duplex selected on one of these channels, your radio actually transmits 30 channels higher than it receives.

e.g. If Duplex is selected on channel 1, your radio will receive on channel 1 but will transmit on channel 31.

Duplex can be enabled or disabled on individual channels. When Duplex is enabled on the selected channel,

is displayed.

The Duplex mode is set through the Menu. Please refe r to th e Menu options further below.

SCANNING FEATURES

• If a signal is received, the scan is paused allowing you to transmit and receive on

that channel. During this time the

icon will continue to ﬂash to show that the scan is still active. Once the channel has been inactive for 5 seconds the scan will automatically resume.

• Pressing the PTT switch while the radio is scanning will jump to the working channel allowing you to transmit and receive on that channel (the working channel is the channel the radio was on at the time the scan was activated). During this time

icon will continue to ﬂash to show that the scan is still active. Once the

the

working channel has been inac tive for 5 seconds the scan will automatically resume.

• If the scan is paused on a busy channel that you don’t wish to listen to, press the

or keys to ‘skip’ over the channel and continue scanning.

TIP: The Scan mode will reduce the overall batter y life because the Standby (battery

saver) feature is overridden. If the batter y is running low you should avoid scanning to conserve power.

CT CSS, DCS AND SILENT MODE

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) are similar Squelch quieting systems that allow groups of users to share the same channel without disturbing each other. The CTCSS system uses 1 of 50 low frequency tones to open and close the Squelch on the radio. The DCS system is similar to CTCSS but uses 1 of 104 digital codes to control the Squelch. When CTCSS or DCS is enabled on your radio, only signals that are using the same code as your radio will be heard in the speaker and the Squelch will remain closed to all other signals.

NOTE: CTCSS and DCS codes do not prevent others from hearing your transmission.

CTCSS/DCS tones are switched off by default. To use CTCSS/DCS you must ﬁrst enable a suitable CTCSS/DCS code using the Menu (see Menu options for more details). Your choice of CTCSS or DCS will largely depend on which is currently being used by other radios in your group. If neither system is currently in use, you can make your own choice. There is no difference in performance between the two systems. Once a CTCSS or DCS code has been enabled, the display will show

(for CTCSS) or (for DCS). You can now make selected channels ‘quiet’ by enabling Silent mode on those channels.

To activate or deactivate Silent mode on a channel

1. Select the required channel.

2. Press and hold the SQL key. The selected CTCSS or DCS code will be displayed

on that channel.

PAGE 14 INSTRUCTION MA NUA L T X665

Page 15

Channels that have Silent mode enabled will now remain quiet unless a signal containing your chosen code is received.

NOTE: Silent mode cannot be activated unless a C TCSS or DCS code has been

selected via the Menu key (See Menu options for more details). If CTCSS/DCS tones are set to ‘Off’, any attempt to activate the Silent mode will be ignored. When communicating with other radios using CTCSS or DCS, all radios must be switched to the same channel and have the same CTCSS or DCS code selected. To receive signals from radios that are not using CTCSS or DCS you will need to disable Silent mode on that channel.

The Menu key is used to adjust the various feature settings. The following chart shows the order of these selections.
