GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The transceiver is a micro-miniature multiband FM transceiver with extensive receive

frequency coverage, providing local-area two-way amateur communications along
with unmatched monitoring capability.

We appreciate your purchase of our transceiver, and encourage you to read this
manual thoroughly, and learn about many exciting features.

Electromagnetic Interfe rence/Compatibility

During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference
with other devices or systems .To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where
signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

Occupational/Cont rolled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence
of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure
and can exercise control over their exposure.

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.

PRECAUTIONS

It is important that the operator is aware of and understands hazards common
to the operation of any transceiver.

SAFETY

WARNING

Please turn the transceiver off at the following locations:

In explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders,
grain powders, etc.).
While taking on fuel or while parking at gasoline service stations.
Near explosives or blasting sites.

In medical institutes or aircrafts.

changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire
frequency range of the transceiver. However, for enhanced
based station medium-wave and shortwave reception, you may
wish to connect an external antenna, as the supplied antenna
is ver y smal l and can not be expecte d to provid e high
performance at these frequencies.

To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the
antenn a an d scre w it ont o the matin g connecto r on the
transceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme
force. (See PIC 1)

EXTERNAL EAR-MIC INSTALLATION

Insert the optional earset/microphone plugs into the
SP.&MIC. Jacks of the transceiver. (See PIC 3)

PIC 3

PIC 2

Note:

Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper
part of antenna while screwing it onto the mating connector
on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that
the SWR presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to
avoid excessive feed line loss.

BELT CLIP INSTALLATION

If necessary, install the belt clip into the location on the back
of the battery. (See PIC 2)

Note:

Do not use the glue to fasten the screw, while installing the
belt clip. Otherwise, the acrylic acid of the glue may damage
the battery panel.

BATTERY PACK INSTALLATION

The battery pack is a high-performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in a very

compact package. Under normal use, the battery may be used for approximately 400

charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an

older battery that is displaying diminished capacity, you should replace the battery with a

new one. Installation of the battery is easy and quick:

1.Slide the Battery Cover to the Unlock position and then slide the Battery Cover toward

the bottom to remove it.

2.Install the battery into the Battery Compartment.

3.Replace the Battery Cover and then slide the Battery Cover Latch into the Lock position.

BATTERY CHARGING

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting
the Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the EXT DC Jack. If only 12-16 Volt DC

Important Note:

1) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range is +5° ~+35°.Charge

out of this range could cause damage to the battery pack.

2) If the charge is not completed in several hours, the battery may be deteriorated. Do not

attempt to forcibly charge the battery, please contact the dealer.

3) If you do not use the transceiver for a long time, remove the battery pack from the

transceiver, as battery leakage could cause damage to the transceiver and the battery pack.

4) While in storage, the charge will drain slightly over time and the battery should be recharged

50% each six months.

is available, the optional DC Adapter (with its cigarette lighter
plug) may also be used for charging the battery.
While the battery is being charged, the display will indicate

( See PIC 5) , this S-mete r will deflec t accordin g to the
charging status, and the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red.
When the charging is finished, the TX indicator will glow
green.

The charger is only designed for the charging of our battery,
and is not suitable for other purposes. Please be advised
that th e charge r may contribut e noise to TV and radi o
reception in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend
its use adjacent to such devices.
