NOTICE !

It is recommended to carefully read this owner’s manual before using the product. This will also help the user to prevent using the radio in violation of the regulations valid in the country where the product is used, as well as to avoid any possible interferences with other services.

NOTICE !

This transceiver is programmable via PC, using the dedicated software and the PC interface cable (optional items). Any programming or modification of the original default setting must be made by a specialised technician or by an authorised service centre. Some functions of this transceiver might be programmed in violation of the technical rules in force for the use of the VHF and UHF FM bands. It is the user’s responsibility to check that any modification to the programming will be done in compliance with the current regulations. Any modification to the product, alteration of the internal circuit, of the external structure of the radio or any programming in violation of the current regulations will automatically void the product certification and your right to use the product. INTEK S.R.L. declines any responsibility concerning any modification of the product, made by the user or by a third party, after delivery of the product.

NOTICE !

This transceiver has been factory programmed, in order to use the product immediately after purchase. The programming includes the activation of channels/frequencies in the VHF and UHF FM Amateur Bands, according to the technical rules in force for the use of this bands.

General Information

Thank you !

Thank you for choosing INTEK for your amateur radio applications. This user friendly transceiver will provide you with clear and reliable communications and will keep your professional activities at peak efficiency. This transceiver incorporates the latest and most advanced technology, so you will be pleased with its quality and its technical features.

Important notice !

The use of VHF and UHF FM transceivers is subject to the regulations applied in the country where the product has to be used. As regulations are usually subject to possible modifications, please check the current regulations in your country with your dealer or local supplier. INTEK does not take any responsibility for illegal use and operation of this product not in accordance with the regulation of the country where the product is used.

Safety notice

The user must know and understand the common risks related to the use of transceivers. Do not use the transceiver in environments at risk of explosion (where there are gas, dusts, smokes, etc.). Do not use the transceiver in service areas or fuel stations, on board aircrafts, etc.

Cautions

Please observe the following precautions, in order to avoid causing fire, personal injuries or damage to the radio:

It is suggested that each transmitted message lasts a few minutes only, since very long transmissions at the maximum transmitter RF output power may overheat the transmitter.

Do not alter or modify in any way your transceiver.

Do not expose the transceiver for a long time to direct sunlight and do not place it close to heat sources.

Do not expose the transceiver to excessively dusty or damp places, do not place it on unstable surfaces.

In case of anomalous smell or smoke that leaks out from the transceiver, turn it off immediately. Please contact an authorised service center.

General Information

Important notice !

User Information

in accordance with art. 13 of the Legislative Decree of 25th July 2005, no. 15 ”Implementation of Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC, relative to reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, in addition to waste disposal”.

The crossed bin symbol shown on the equipment indicates that at the end of its working life the product must be collected separately from other waste. The user must therefore take the above equipment to the appropriate differentiated collection centres for electronic and electro technical waste, or return it to the dealer when purchasing a new appliance of equivalent type, in a ratio of one to one.

Appropriate differentiated waste collection for subsequent recycling, treatment and environment-friendly disposal of the discarded equipment helps to prevent possible negative environmental and health effects and encourages recycling of the component materials of the equipment.

Illegal disposal of the product by the user will be punished by application of the administrative fines provided for by the legislative decree no. 22/1997 (article 50 and following of the legislative decree no. 22/1997).

Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, 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 interferential devices (such as TV, generator etc.)

Do not expose the transceiver 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 a service station or your dealer.

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

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.

Mobile Operation

The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. 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 some 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 avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down

connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.

Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the

power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+)

terminal and black connects to the negative (-) terminal.

Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable.

Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.

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

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

Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply

and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black: negative).

Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.

Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply.

Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.

Connect the transceiver's DC power connector to the connector 2.on the DC power cable.

Fixed Station Operation

Initial Installation

Replacing Fuses

If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized dealer or an authorized service center for assistance.

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the transceiver could be damaged.

After connecting the transceiver to the power supply, the supply voltage

can be displayed on LCD by pressing the
