◆Charging the battery

Connect the power adapter with the battery charger. Plug the adapter into an AC wall outlet
and the indicator turns green.

Place the battery or transceiver into the charger slot, and make sure the transceiver has

been turned off.

Make sure the battery is well connected with charger, then the indicator turns red or flashes,

then the charger gets in the state of charging automatically.

PT6500 User’s Manual

When battery is fully charged the indicator turns green.

The performance will be at the best condition if you remove the battery when the green

indicator is on. Then remove the power adaptor from the wall outlet.

The charger will enter the protection mode when the yellow indicator flashes, which means

the temperature or the circuit is abnormal. Do not charge the battery at this moment, just

remove the battery and turn off the power of the charger.

Notes:

The battery is not fully charged in the factory. Before the initial use, please charge the new

*

battery.

KB-36C Li-ion battery of this company is adaptable with this machine.

* When you charge the battery the first time or after long time storage (2 months), several

times of charging is needed. Make sure the battery is charged at least once every three

months.

* Do not charge the battery again if it is charged fully or not in the low-pressure warning

mode, otherwise, its life will be shortened or it will be damaged. Remove the battery from

the charger after charging.

* There is a protection circuit in KB-36C battery, so the power will be cut off at too low

battery.

VOX gain level to proper sensitivity.

■ Auxiliary Functions (programmed with PC)

◆ Time-out Timer (TOT)

TOT timer:

Time-out timer can prevent any caller from occupying one certain channel for an extended period of the

time.

The radio is set with a continuously transmitting limit. If the radio is continuously transmitting longer than

the time preset by the dealer, the radio will stop transmitting and warning

TOT forbidden period:

A period in which the radio is forbidden to transmit after its overtime activity.

During the period, if the PTT key is pressed, there will be a warning tone, and transmitting is forbidden.

TOT pre-warning:

The pre-warning will sound before the TOT action.

After the sound of the warning, the timer will take action when the transmitting time has gone beyond

the limit.

TOT reset:

The time delay from releasing the PTT key to the resetting of the timer is limited.

The countdown will go on if the time after releasing the PTT key is shorter than the reset time.

◆ Battery Saving

The dealer can set the type of this function by programming.

If the battery saving function is on, 10 seconds after the radio hasn'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.

The types include: 1：1, 1：2, 1：4 and off.

The automatic battery saving function decreases the power consumption.

◆ Voice Annunciation of Channel Number

The dealer can turn on or turn off this function by programming.

While switching to another channel, you can hear the voice annunciation of the current channel number.

◆ CTCSS/ DCS

The dealer can set CTCSS/DCS tones on radio channels, which enable you to ignore (not hear) calls

Page 19 of 26

PT6500 User’s Manual

from other irrelevant parties who are using the same channel.

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 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.

■User’s resolution

◆Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)

Busy Channel Lockout can prevent you from interfering other radios that using the same channel.

Press the PTT button when the channel is busy, the radio with BCL function active will make warning

sound and prohibit transmitting. To stop the warning sound, please release the PTT button and the radio

returns to receiving mode.

Carrier wave+ CTCSS/DCS：transmitting is permitted if there are matched CTCSS/DCS in the channel.

◆ Receiving squelch mode

The dealer may set the condition under which to turn on the speakers:

1. CTCSS/DCS and audio squelch: only when the CTCSS/DCS and optional signaling are patchable.

2. Audio squelch: once the optional signaling is matchable.

3. CTCSS/DCS squelch: when the CTCSS/DCS is matchable.

4. Carrier wave squelch: once there is any Carrier wave.

5. CTCSS/DCS and audio squelch: when the CTCSS/DCS is matchable, or when optional signaling

are matchable.

◆DTMF signaling

The dealer can set this function by programming.

There are 4 systems of which the parameters can be set, e.g.: group call ID No., * and # sound, etc.

After set a DTMF code in the “code sequence” , select DTMF system in the “DTMF code”, then select

the correspondent DTMF code cable in the “user’s resolution” and transfer it with PTT. Set a DTMF

code in the “deenencoding sequence”, add the sequence into the decoding cable in “DTMF decoding”,

then select the correspondent decoding cable. The dealer may also set the “decoding replay”.

tone, the duration of the long tone and audio spacing, etc. Select the audio frequency（3106.0～

288.0hz step size 0.1hz）in “encoding sequence”, and whether the tones sent are long or two tones,

select 2TONE system in “2TONE List”, then select the correspondent 2TONE code cable in the “user’s

resolution” and transfer it with PTT. Select the audio frequency（3106.0～288.0hz step size 0.1hz）in

“decoding sequence”, and whether the tones received are long or two tones, then select the

correspondent decoding cable in the “user’s resolution”. The dealer may also set the “decoding

replay”.

◆ Transmit start/over signaling (PTT ID)

The identify signal of transmit start/over are used to maintain or disconnect some repeaters or phone

system.

“Transmit start” is used to connect routine repeaters and auxiliary facilities. If the ID transmitted is

matchable with that of the repeaters, the repeaters and auxiliary facilities are available.

“Transmit over” is used to disconnect routine repeaters and auxiliary facilities. If the ID transmitted is

matchable with that of the repeaters, the repeaters and auxiliary facilities are disconnected.

Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards

Your two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international
standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and
should be used for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the
FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk-5%
listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits
at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.
