SCAN FUNCTION
(Your local dealer may prohibit this function.)
Only when there are no less than two channels added in the scan list
and the scan function has been activated, the radio can start scanning.
STARTING SCAN
When switching to channel 16, the radio will begin to scan, and pause
after receiving signals.
STOPPING SCAN
When switching to channel 1-15, the radio will stop scanning.
Introduction:
1. Dealer can set the following two ways to restart scanning after its
pause:
1) Time-control
The radio will restart scanning after pausing for some time while
receiving signals. The pausing time can be preset from 0.5 to 5
seconds.
2) Carrier wave control
The radio will pause scanning after receiving signals and will
restart scanning 3 seconds after the signal disappears.
2. The working channel of the radio will respond to the following
channels automatically when pressing PTT button during scanning.
The dealer can select one among the following six ways.
1) Last called
When pressing PTT button, the radio will transmit from the last
channel that received a call.
2) Last used + currently working channel
When pressing PTT button during the scanning, the radio will
transmit from the last channel that received a call. When pressing
PTT button during the scanning pause, the radio will transmit from the
currently working channel.
3) Selected channel
When pressing PTT button, the radio will transmit from the first
channel of the scanning list.
4) Selected channel + currently working channel
When pressing PTT button during scanning, the radio will always
transmit from the first channel in the scanning list. When pressing
PTT button during the scanning pause, the radio will always transmit
from the currently working channel.
5) Priority channel
The radio will transmit signals from the priority channel in the scan
list when pressing PTT button.
6) Priority channel + currently working channel
When pressing PTT button during scanning, the radio will always
transmit from the priority channel. When pressing PTT button during
7
8
the scanning pause, the radio will transmit from the currently working
channel.
Note:
Currently working channel means the channel in which the radio
holds on under the following four conditions.
1) After receiving the signals, the radio will still stay in the current
channel before restarting the scan.
2) When receiving signals during scanning, the radio will pause on
the current channel and will keep staying on it for 3 seconds after the
signals disappear.
3) Radio will stay on the current channel when pressing PTT during
scanning.
4) When the radio transmitting ends by releasing PTT button, within
the transmitting pause time preset by the local dealer, the radio will
stay in the current channel.
Selected channel: The first channel in the scanning list set by the
dealer.
Priority channel: The prior channel in the scanning list set by the
dealer.
Only when priority channel has been selected, the options of /
priority channel 0and /priority channel + currently working channel 0
in Revert Channel are available.
AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
TIME-OUT TIMER
Time-out timer can prevent the user from continuously talking
overlong and prevent the radio body heating due to continuous
longtime transmitting.
If you continuously transmit longer than the time limit preset by the
dealer, the radio will stop transmitting and warning tone sounds, and
to stop the warning tone please release the PTT button. Pressing the
PTT button again will resume transmitting.
BATTERY SAVING
The automatic battery saving function decreases the power
consumption when no signal is received and no operation is
conducted.
If the battery saving function is activated, 10 seconds after the radio
doesn't receive any signals or no operation is being conducted, the
radio enters battery saving mode. When a signal is received or any
operation occurs, it exits battery saving mode automatically.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
When the battery power goes below a certain value in transmitting,
LED flashes red and Low battery warning tone sounds and then the
radio stop transmitting. You need to recharge or change the battery.
MONITOR
Off: When this function is selected, no operation is performed.
Monitor Momentary: Press and hold the monitor button to
deactivate the signaling temporarily, and squelch un-mutes. Release
it to return to normal operation and squelch mutes.
Monitor Lock: Press the monitor button once to deactivate the
signaling, and squelch un-mutes. Press it again to return to normal
9
10
operation and squelch mutes.
SQ Off: When there is no signal received, the squelch circuit of the
radio will automatically mute the speaker, so you will not hear the
background noise. Press the MONI key to force the squelch un-mute.
CTCSS/DCS
CTCSS/DCS tones may have been pre-programmed on some
channels. A CTCSS/DCS tone is a sub-audible tone, which allows you
to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same
channel. The dealer can set CTCSS/DCS tones on radio channels.
When you receive a signal that has a tone different from the one set
on your radio, you will not hear the signal. Likewise, signals that you
transmit will only be received by the parties whose CTCSS/DCS tones
are the same as yours.
Note:
Using a CTCSS/DCS channel doesn't mean your calls are private. If
other parties' CTCSS/DCS tones are identical with yours, they can
hear your calls.
Voice Annunciation of Current Channel Number
If voice annunciation of current channel number has been activated,
when pressing the channel annunciation button in stand-by mode, the
current channel number will be annunciated in the preset language
through the loudspeaker. If turn on the radio with this button pressed,
the annunciation language will be changed. Repeat turning on the
power with this button pressed, the type of the annunciation language
can be changed in sequence Chinese Male---English Male--Chinese Female---English Female---No Annunciation .
Wired Clone
Wired clone is very useful when you want to program the parameters
on more than 2 radios. Program the parameters on the host radio by
PC software, and then clone these parameters to the sub radio by a
specific cable, which improve programming efficiency.
Wire Cloning Steps:
1) Turn off the host radio. Press and hold on its MONI key and
then turn on the power. 0.5 second after the power is on, press PTT
button and hold on these two keys for over 2 seconds. When you
hear two beeps, release the two keys and the radio enters the cloning
state and the indicator lights orange.
2) Connect the host radio that is in cloning state and the indicator
lights orange with the sub radio that needs programming with a
cloning cable.
3) When in such a state, press once the MONI key of the host
radio and then the host radio will transmit data to the sub radio. While
in transmitting, the host radio indicator lights red.
4) When the sub radio is receiving data, the indicator lights green.
If data transmission succeeds, the host radio indicator lights orange;
if data transmission fails, the host indicator flashes red and green
alternately. If press the MONI key in the host radio again, you can
repeat data transmission again.
Note:
The clone data are the data in Function Parameter Programming ,
and doesn't include the adjusting parameters in Test Mode .
Emergency Alert
Press the emergency button for more than 2 seconds, and then the
radio enters the state of emergency alert: red light flashes, and loud
warming tone sounds.
Press the emergency button again to exit the emergency state.
In emergency state, any other keys or buttons are inactive.
