◆

so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery
pack may be damaged.

After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger.

◆

If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned OFF),
recharging will start again and the battery pack will become
overcharged.

Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack. We

◆

recommend you switch the transceiver power OFF while charging is
taking place.

Do not charge the battery pack when the battery pack or transceiver

◆

is wet, to avoid the risk of re or damage. Wipe the water from the

battery pack or transceiver using a dry cloth before charging.

Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by re.

◆

Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.

◆

Information concerning the Li-ion battery pack:

The battery pack includes ammable objects such as organic solvent.
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing ames or

extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the
battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.

•

Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!

The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to

avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may

generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not short-circuit the battery!

Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such

as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in
containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or
hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current

will ow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into ame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.

.

•

Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!

If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is

damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate

heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not use or leave the battery near res, stoves, or other

heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!

If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an

internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the

battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other
means!

If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may

charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke,

rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not charge the battery near res or under direct sunlight!

If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may

charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke,

rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Use only the specied charger and observe charging

requirements!

If the battery is charged in unspecied conditions (under high

temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or
current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may
overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The

battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!

This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The

battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not jar or throw the battery!

An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke,

rupture, and/or burst into ame. If the battery’s protection circuit

is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or
voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The

battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

5

•

Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into

ame.

•

Do not solder directly onto the battery!

If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function

is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or

burst into ame.

•

Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!

When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction

may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of

current may ow upon discharging. The battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!

The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery

pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating
equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If
the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be
reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into

ame.

•

Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!

If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash

your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible, without
rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left
untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

•

Do not charge the battery for longer than the specied time!

If the battery pack has not nished charging even after the

regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate

heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into ame.

•

Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high
pressure container!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into

ame.

•

Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from re!

If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor),

immediately remove it from ammable areas. Electrolyte leaking
from battery can easily catch on re and may cause the battery to
generate smoke or burst into ame.

•

Do not use an abnormal battery!

If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different

coloring, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason,
remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not
use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst

into ame.

Using the Li-ion Battery Pack

■

• Charge the battery pack before using it.

• To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the
battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store
the battery pack in a cool and dry location.

• When storing the battery pack for a long period:

Remove the battery pack from the equipment.

1

Discharge the battery pack, if possible.

2

Store the battery pack in a cool (below 25°C/ 77°F) and dry

3

location.

Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack

■

• As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the
battery capacity decreases.

• Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades.

• It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler
areas.

• The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and
discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in
a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave
the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances.

• When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even
if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to
charge and discharge the battery pack may result in electrolyte
leakage.

With the transceiver power OFF,
connect the headset to the transceiver
{page 12}.

The VOX function does not activate
when a headset is not connected to
the speaker/ microphone jack of the
transceiver.

Press and hold the Side 1 key while
turning the transceiver power ON.

Continue to hold the Side 1 key until the
LED lights orange and the transceiver
announces “VOX”, then release the key.
Upon releasing the key, the transceiver
will announce the current VOX Gain level.

Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver
hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must
use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built­in microphone. For best operating conditions, we recommend
you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a
microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.

With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when the
transceiver transmits. Because of this, you must take care that
the ambient noise around you is not so loud that it causes the
transceiver to transmit. Due to the automatic switching between
transmission and reception, we recommend you set the VOX
Gain level such that it will not activate transmission when in an
area with excessive ambient noise.

You can scan the channels of the transceiver to search for a

signal. When the transceiver veries a signal on a channel, it

proceeds to check whether or not its QT/DQT setting which is
set up on your transceiver matches (if any).
If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and
opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT
does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.

You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels

The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent you from using
a channel for an extended period of time. This function is
useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the

continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on battery
power consumption.

If you continuously transmit for 60 seconds (default), the

Quiet tAlk (Qt)/ digitAl Quiet tAlk (dQt)

Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that
reject signals from undesired parties that are using the same
channel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker only when
you receive a signal that contains a QT tone or a DQT code that
matches the one set up on the channel you are using. If a call
containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel
you are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the
call. Likewise, when you transmit on a channel set up with QT
or DQT, the receiving station must have a matching tone or code
in order to hear your call.

Although it may seem like you have your own private channel
while using QT or DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if
they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.

The default QT/DQT settings for each channel is 67.0 Hz.

CHANNEL SETUP MODE

This transceiver allows you to reprogram each of the channels
with different frequencies and Quiet Talk/ Digital Quiet Talk
settings. The table below lists the default channel frequencies.
All channels are set with a 67.0 Hz QT tone by default.

ScAn

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver
channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on
each channel and only stops if a signal is present.

If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and
opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT
does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.

You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels

Note:

available on your transceiver that are not locked out of Scan.

To start scanning, momentarily press the key programmed as
either

• The LED indicator ashes green and scanning starts from the current

channel and ascends through the channel numbers.

• When a signal is detected on a channel and the QT/DQT matches,

ScrAmBler

Whereas the Quiet Talk and Digital Quiet Talk functions
{page 20} allows you to ignore unwanted calls, Scrambler allows
you to hold a conversation in complete privacy. When activated,
any other party listening in on your channel will be unable to
understand your conversation. The transceiver scrambles your
voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will not be
able to understand what you are saying.

In order for members of your own group to understand your call
while you are using the Scrambler, all other members must also
activate the Scrambler on their transceivers. This scrambles
everybody’s voice while transmitting and unscrambles the
