Basic Operati ons
This section describes how the standard operations work. Standard operation can be changed by
programming, moreover the functions the radio includes can be modified via an IBM compatible PC. For
this reason the way y our radio operates may be upgraded and may slightly differ f rom w hat is described
here.
!
IMPORTANT: Due to the full programmability of the radio, certain commands could be
unavail able. In case of doubts please contact your deal er/radio network admi nistrator f or fur ther
details.
Switching the radio ON/OFF
To switch the radio on:
1) Rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise until the radio is sw itched on: the CPU will start an autotest
showing in sequence:
• LED w ill light GREEN, then RED and finally OFF.
• A beep confirms that the autotest is pass ed
!
The self - test goes very f ast, theref or e the LED could not be seen.
To switch the radio off just rotate the PWR/VOL knob anticlockwise.
Adjusting volume
The PWR/VOL knob is used to adjust the RX volume: just t urn it clockw ise to increase or anticlockwise to
reduce it.
Channel selection
If your radio has been programmed with more than one channel you can easily change it. To select a
channel, turn the channel selector knob clockwise or anticlockwise until the channel indicator on the knob
matches the wished channel.
Reception
Your radio could be previously programmed to work, channel by channel, in “Open traffic” or “GROUP
MODE (CTCSS/DCS)”. Please have a look to eac h description and ask your radio network manager or
dealer which mode your radio channels w or k.
• OPEN TRAFFIC: in this case you will hear any communication which will be transmitted on the
selec ted channel. When t he right c arrier is rec eived your squelch w ill unmute, y ou w ill see the st atus
LED glowing gree n and you w ill hear the message.
• GROUP MODE:
• CTCSS/DCS (Continuous Tone Code Squelch System - Digital Coded Squelch): they are systems
which use particular TX signalling (a continuous sub audio tone for CTCSS or a digital code for
DCS) as an access “key” to work a r epeater ( encoder) or t o unlock the party’s signalling se nsitive
squelch. This last condition allows to share more radio networks in the same frequency. In this
case you will rec eive only messages coming from parties sending a proper TX signalling. During
CTCSS/DCS operation the radio may be set-up so that the appropriate CTCSS/DCS decoder

Care and Maintenance
Battery Packs
Information on rechargeable batteries
• When the battery pack is new it doesn’t provide 100% of its efficiency; it means that it might be
discharged earlier. To r each the full battery life you have to “r un-in” the batter y with at least 3-4
deep charging/discharging cycles, after that it will reach its maximum capacity. Please see
“Properly charge of battery packs” for further det ails.
• Should you properly use the batt ery pack, you will obt ain at lea st 400 c harging/d ischar ging cycles
(300 wit h the optional rapid charger). The battery duty will pr ogr ess ively re duce af ter 2/ 3 of it s life
(approx.).
• Rechargeable battery packs lose their charge with the time if left unus ed (s elf di sc har ge) ; thi s is
normal. A NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydrat e) batt ery can reduce 10 to 20% of its stor ed energy in few
days.
Properly charge of battery packs
1) Ensure that the radio is switched off,.
2) I nsert t he radio into the cradle as explained in the paragraph “Charging the battery pack”
3) W ait the neces sar y t ime to provide a full char ge. If the pa ck is n’t comple tely dischar ged y ou will need
less than 8 hours.
"
Don’t overcharge the battery: always remember to remove the radio after the necessary time.
"
The batter y charger i s for i ndoor use only.
!
When possible, charge the battery when it is full y dischar ged or, at l east, you have used it f or the
major part of i ts duty; otherwise the battery’s duty coul d be tempor arily reduced. Please see the
paragraph “ M em or y ef fect”.
!
Don’t remove the radio before the necessary time, otherwise the battery’s duty could be
temporari ly reduced. Pl ease s ee the paragr aph “ M em or y effect”.
Memory effect
The supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydrate) bat tery pack is made with a more advanced t echnology than
normal NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) battery. For t his reason it is virtually free of what is c alled “ memory ef f ec t ” ,
which aff ects NiCd batteries. M emory effect is a temporary capacit y r eduction which reduces the bat ter y
duty. Memory effect may occur just if you regularly charge the battery w hen you haven’t discharged it at
least at 50- 70%. Memory eff ect c an be easily avoided by following these simple rules:
Page. 15
Page 16
HP105/HP405 User manual
• When possible charge battery packs only when they are completely discharged, i.e. when the
batter y icon has no bars inside.
• Don’t remove the battery f r om the charger befor e t he necessary time to provide a full charge.
• Provide at least two deep charge/discharge cycles per month.
• The best way to avoid memory eff ect is to use two battery packs and alternate their use with the
rad io. This will a llo w you to k eep on your transceiver’s operation by replacing the battery pac k just
when it’s fully discharged and use the spare (charged) one. At the end of your wor k ing day y ou w ill
charge the discharged pack f or 8 hours.
Erasing memory effect
Memory effect can be easily erased just by applying 3-4 deeper charge/discharge cycles:
1) Use the battery fitted in the radio and wait till the radio swi tches of f .
2) Wait at le as t one hour and then tr y to sw itch on the rad io: you will not e that some energy has rest o red
in the batt er y, because the radio can be switched on.
3) Leave the radio in RX until the radio switches off again.
4) Repeat st eps 2) and 3) t hree times.
5) Fully char ge the batt ery f or 9 hours and chec k the bat tery dut y. If some memor y eff ect s till exist go
back to st ep 1.
!
If the battery duty doesn’t improve after three of the over stated cycles, it means that your battery
pack is f aulty or has r eached the end of li fe ( please see “Inf ormation on rechar geable batteries”) .
In this case please ask y our deal er to prov i de a new battery pack.
Warnings for battery and chargers use
Please use these cautions to avoid damaging battery packs or the transceiver:
"
Before using the bat t er y charger careful ly read any rel at ed warning or cauti on.
"
Don’ t short bat t er y t e r minal s: this may cause fi r e, burns or explosions.
"
Never dispose batter ies into fir e they may explode causing fi re, burns or explosions. Str ictly
