SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your KT-980HP

generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmitting
mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only",
meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals

aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.This radio is NOT

intended for use by the "General Population" in an uncontrolled environment.

warning

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.

Elect r om agnetic Inter fe r ence/Comp atibility
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.

Occup a tional/Cont r olled 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.

NOTICE !

This transceiver is programmable via PC, using the dedicated software (free download at www.intek-radios.com)
and the PC interface cable (optional item). 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

The new Dual Band handheld radio INTEK KT-980HP is the new High Power version of
the well known model KT-960 PLUS (UV-5R). The main difference and feature of model
KT-980HP is the new transmitter circuit design which is equipped with a RENESAS
RQA0011DNS Silicon N-Channel RF power MOSFET semiconductor, rated at 10,47W
with +40.2 dBm (f=520 MHz), but derated to 8,00W max for optimum and stable operation.

RADIO OPERATION

It is always recommended that the transmitter output power level is set at the lowest level at
which the communication can be carried out. The power level should be increased to a
higher level only when necessary. The LOW (L) transmitter power level is about 1.0W and
the MID (M) transmitter power level is about 4W, these two power levels correspond to the
usual power levels for VHF/UHF handheld radios. The HIGH (H) transmitter power level is
about 8.0W (VHF) / 7.0W (UHF) and it should be used only when necessary, because the
current drain at this level is much higher than in
the LOW and MID levels, which will obviously
cause a shorter battery life. Radio should also be
operated in HIGH (H) transmitter power level
only when the battery is fully charged. The
maximum transmitter output power in HIGH (H)
transmitter power level is available only in the
Amateur Radio frequency bands of 144-146 MHz
and 430-440 MHz. Out of these frequency
ranges the transmitter output power will be lower.
