OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS & SAFETY GUIDELINES

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE IS DETERMINED PRIMARILY BY
THE DISTANCE TO, AND THE POWER OF, THE TRANSMIT­TING DEVICE. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the low-

est possible power is used and transmission time is kept to a minimum
consistent with effective communications and the antenna is at the
furthest possible distance from the body. Users should transmit no
more than 50% of the time and follow the guidelines:

To Transmit and Receive: You must be properly licensed by
the FCC or your governing radio communications authority
to use this radio on the programmed frequencies.

To Transmit, first hold down the MON (Monitor) button if so pro-

grammed for a moment to make sure that the channel is not busy with
other traffic that you may not hear this depending on the TONE that
may be programmed in shared transceivers if the channel is a shared
frequency with other users with different CTCSS/CDS Tones. You may
also look at the received signal strength meter (green light) is off) to
ensure that the channel is clear.

To transmit: Push and hold the Push– to-Talk (PTT) Button; speak in a
normal voice. There is a 1/4 second delay before the radio transmits
as the RF output to the antenna is tuned to the frequency/channel be­ing used.

To Receive, release the PTT button.

Hand-held Transceiver Operation:

Hold the radio in a vertical position with the radio approximately 1.5 to

2.5 “ away from your lips.

Body Worn Application:

As in most cases whenever using an approved case and body pack for
this transceiver or not, use of this radio with the antenna touching the

body may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Antennas & Batteries

Use only Infinity supplied and approved antennas and batteries.
Use of non approved accessories and attachments as well as
user modifications could not only damage the radio and void
warranty, but also may void FCC and CE regulations as well as
exceed RF exposure limits. DO NOT OVERCHARGE BATTER­IES. Keeping the battery in the charger continually reduces bat­tery life. Consult Infinity or your Authorized Reseller/ Distributor
if you have any questions.

User Precautions: Safety, Warranty and Use

The following will assist you in fulfilling any warranty obligations.

 Do Not Modify this radio for any reason. Do not disassemble the radio.

Failure to comply may void Warranty and governmental approvals. No
User Serviceable Parts inside. Refer repair to Factory Authorized Per­sonnel only.

 Do Not Use the transceiver or charge the battery in an explosive envi-

ronment.

 Keep the transceiver out of direct sunlight, DO NOT expose the unit to

extreme heat or cold.

 Keep the transceiver out of dusty or humid areas. IF IMMERSED IN

WATER, TAKE OUT OF WATER AND BLOW AIR ACROSS THE
SPEAKER AND SHAKE ANY WATER THAT MAY BE TRAPPED IN
FRONT OF THE SPEAKER GRILL.

 Do Not Transmit without an approved antenna connected to the trans-

ceiver. Install the battery only after the antenna is connected to the

radio. Fully charge the battery first to condition it.

 Observe common sense when attempting to transmit in areas such as

construction sites, mines, hospitals, hazardous environments, etc..
Turn off your radio before entering any area with a potentially

explosive atmosphere (where the air contains gas, dust), as well as

while taking on fuel, etc.).

 Typically transmit for no longer than 1 minute with a rest period of 4

minutes. Longer transmission times will see the rear side of the radio
heat up.

 If the radio emits smoke or strange odors, turn the radio off, discon-

nect the battery and promptly contact your local authorized Infinity
Dealer or Re-Seller.

About your radio: Infinity radios are sold only through Infinity or Au-

thorized Resellers. The radio is also field programmable using the key-

pad, software, or wired cloning (if enabled by the software); and may

come pre-programmed with either factory defaulted programming or
other User channels. Full function access to the radio and options is
only available if the optional Infinity programming software with the ap­propriate interface cable has been purchased. The sale and use of
these radios is restricted to licensed users only. User takes the respon­sibility to comply with FCC and other governmental or local require­ments. CONDITION OF SALE: The User is familiar with radio opera-
tions, radio configuration and radio terminology. It is im por tant
that the User is aware of and understands hazards common to the op­eration of any radio transceiver. Thank-you for selecting the K-911 for

your radio communications needs!

13.0 PROGRAMMING VIA SOFTWARE Your radio comes pre-

programmed with some channels for test. The Programming kit comes with a

USB cable, Programming Software and a USB cable driver for WIN XP and

Win7,(Model PG-12). (For Win 8, Order Model PG-13.) PC SKILLS AS WELL
AS FAMILIARITY WITH TWO RADIOS ARE NECESSARY. You will need to
unzip the files provided using a free program called WINRAR from WIN RAR
LABS and is available as a free download from the Internet. When downloading,

just download only the free unzip program. In preparation for programming:

(1) Load (unzip) the USB driver onto the PC. Install the USB driver.

(2) Load (unzip) the Programming Software onto your PC.

(3) Restart the PC.

(4) Connect the supplied USB driver to an available port on the PC

(5) Check with Windows device manager that the USB cable is operating and
seen by the PC

(6) START the programming software by clicking on the K-911 Icon that is on

your desktop, placed automatically by extracting the software from the exe­cutable file. THE FOLLOWING SCREEN APPEARS:

(7) CLICK ON SETTING; PORT. A POP UP SCREEN WILL APPEAR WITH

THE PORT NUMBER CORRESPONDING TO THE USB CABLE. (example,
COM 5). THEN PRESS OK. IF NO PORT NUMBER APPEARS, CHECK
WINDOWS DEVICE MANAGER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE USB CABLE
DRIVER (PROLIFIC) HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED.

(8) WITH RADIO ON AND CABLE CONNECTED, THEN perform a “READ
FROM RADIO, then save the file, NAMING IT AS AN EXAMPLE, “ORIGINAL
FILE”.

(9) THEN make changes as needed, then SAVE THE FILE, EXAMPLE, AS

‘MASTER 1 FEB 2015”, THEN WRITE TO RADIO.

12.2 Receive CTCSS/DCS (QT and QDT) functions that have been

programmed by your dealer or your communications specialist will allow
you to hear radio traffic only when the these sub-audible signaling tones
have been heard from another similarly programmed radio by your re­ceiver. Only then will the radio allow you to receive a transmission of the
same tone. If tone decoding is not used or programmed in the transceiv­er, then all conversations on the programmed frequency will be heard.

12.2 Radio ANI ID is a feature that transmit s a unique ID
number that has been programmed into your radio. This allows all
radios in this group to see each other. Then program each individ­ual radio with an ANI Code (number that corresponds to the radio

call of the user), with end of transmission selected. Each radio

has a unique number. Using this feature may or may not affect the
receipt of some repeater based ID transmissions and may not
work with all Motorola MDC1200 systems. Test first to evaluate
the situation. Also set up in digital signaling for dPMR digital
mode.

12.3 Receive CTCSS/DCS (QT and QDT) functions that hav e been

programmed by your dealer or your communications specialist will allow
you to hear radio traffic only when the these sub-audible signaling tones
have been heard from another similarly programmed radio by your re-

ceiver. Only then will the radio allow you to receive a transmission of the

same tone. If tone decoding is not used or programmed in the transceiv­er, then all conversations on the programmed frequency will be heard.

12.4 Talkaround. Thi s function is enabled by the user in situ­ations where the user does not want to trip the repeater but have
local ground operation conversations to local responders and not
be heard over the repeater network.

First select your channel. This must be a repeater channel.
PRESS THEN THE ASSIGNED HOT KEY AS PROGRAMMED IN
THE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE. To cancel and return to nor­mal repeater operations: Press the HOT KEY button.

USING THE TALKAROUND FUNCTION will see all Radio units
that are in close proximity to your area of operations hear you on
the repeaters output frequency as you are transmitting and receiv­ing on the repeater output frequency. They also, as well as you,
will hear the repeater. The corresponding CTCSS/DCS tones will
also follow automatically. This is not to be confused with

“Reverse” hot key operation, which simply inverts the TX and
RX frequencies and tones. (See Page 12). Consul t your Com-

munications Officer for details.
