Operating Instructions

UHF390

80 Channel UHF Citizen Band Radio

This unit complies with all relevant Australian
and New Zealand approval requirements
AS/NZS 4365:2011

Why has the ACMA increased the number of available UHF CB channels?

To provide additional channel capacity within the UHF CB Band, the ACMA will over the next 5 years change the
majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband 80 channel use.

During this time wideband channel use will be gradually phased out as users upgrade their existing radio’s.
This means that the new Oricom narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older wideband

radios. Some of these channels are locked and cannot be used, (see the attached channel chart for more information).

When will this take place?

Early in 2011 new AS/NZS Standards came into effect allowing operators to use additional narrowband channels
and also use narrowband transmissions on some current wideband channels. This increased the number of
channels up to 80, 75 of which are useable voice channels.

What issues may users experience during the transition phase?

When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud
and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio
receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for
best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from
wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.

The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and
narrowband radios.

It is expected that as older wideband radios are removed from service that this issue will be resolved. Most radios in
use will be narrowband eliminating this issue.

Important information

Please read before installing or operating your
Oricom radio

The operation of your UHF radio in Australia and New Zealand
is subject to conditions in the following licenses:
In Australia, the ACMA Radio communications (Citizen Band
Radio Stations) and in New Zealand by MED the General User
Radio License for Citizen Band Radio.

Safety Information and Warnings

WARNING

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re
resulting in injury or even death.

NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but
not always clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,
or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio
OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic
interference and/or compatibility conicts, turn off your radio in any
location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health
care facilities.

8

Fitting the Controller Speaker Microphone

The controller speaker microphone uses a 6-pin telephone style
plug and socket:

1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic ap faces

downwards, and insert the plug into the socket until it ‘clicks’.

2. Gently press the rubber boot into the hole surrounding the

socket so that the slot around the boot ts neatly inside the

rim of the entry hole.

Disconnecting the Controller Speaker Microphone

It is recommended that the Controller Speaker Microphone
be left permanently connected to the radio, but if it must be
disconnected, proceed as follows:

1. Lift the rubber boot and the lip of the raised area on the front
panel.

2. Ease the rubber boot out of the cable entry hole and slide it
along the cable away from the front panel.

3. Identify the plug locking lever, and move the lever towards
the plug body. At the same time gently pull the plug from the
socket.

Installation of your Oricom Radio

CAUTION

When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that
during installation you do not damage any wiring or
vehicle components that may be hidden around the
mounting position.

Ensure the installation does not interfere with the
operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory and

safety retirements for accessories tted to your vehicle.

For optimum performance, your radio needs to be
installed correctly. If you are unsure about how to
install your radio, we suggest you have your radio
professionally installed by a UHF specialist or Auto
electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting
it close to heaters or air conditioners. Never press the
PTT button before connecting the antenna to the radio.

Wiring Methods

There are two possible wiring congurations for connecting to

the vehicles power supply.

A. Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF

Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis,
or directly to the battery’s negative terminal.

Connect the radio’s positive (red) lead via the 3 Amp fuse to
the battery’s positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead
could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has DC Power
continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition
switch) via the 3 Amp fuse.

B. Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch

Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle’s
chassis, or directly to the battery’s negative terminal.

The radios positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory
point in the vehicle’s fuse box via the 3 Amp fuse.

Installation of your Oricom Radio

Antenna information

The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance to maximise
your output power and receiver sensitivity.

A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna, or one not designed
for the correct frequency band, will give poor performance. You
should only purchase an antenna designed for the 477MHz
frequency band.

Antenna installation

1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a
PL259 coaxial connector (not supplied).

2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high
quality antenna and mount it in a good location.

Never press the PTT before connecting the antenna to the
radio.

Optional accessories

If required, you may install an external (8 ohm, Minimum 5W

power) speaker tted with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).

Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to use an
external speaker (not supplied) to give improved volume and
clarity. This can be plugged into the external speaker (SP)
socket on the rear of the unit.

General

Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of
local repeater station (if available in your area). Repeaters are
shared radio systems installed by interested parties (clubs, local

business etc.) that pick transmissions on specic channels and

re-transmit (or repeat) the received signal to another channel.

21

Operations

The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8
and 41 to 48) used by local repeater stations. When activated,

your radio will receive the Repeater on its specic channel (all

repeater outputs are on channel 1 to 8 and 41 to 48) but transmit
to the repeater channel 31 to 38 and 71 to 78 (Factory default is
set to On for all repeater channels).

e.g.
CH01 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH31.
CH02 on duplex mode will receive on CH02 but transmit on CH32.
If you transmit on CH01 duplex mode, you are actually

transmitting on CH31; the repeater station down converts your
signal and retransmits on CH01.

Your transceiver allows you to pre-select Duplex operation
individually on each channel.

CTCSS and DCS Setting

This feature allows you to receive signals only from callers who have
selected the same CTCSS and DCS code. DCS is similar to CTCSS. It
provides 104 extra, digitally coded, squelch codes that follow after the
38 CTCSS codes. CTCSS 1 - 38, followed by DCS 1 - 104.

Scramble

Scramble enables private communications by scrambling the voice
signal. This prevents users without descrambler equipment or a
compatible unit from understanding the conversation.

Select desired channel. SCR appears when scramble is turned on in
the menu. You can select 1 to 5.

3 Multi Colour backlight

You can select from 3 different colours for the LCD backlight.

Operations

Scanning

The UHF390 has two types of scanning: Open scanning (OS) and
Priority scanning (PS).

Scanning allows you to search for active channels programmed in the
memory.

You can choose Scan type in menu mode.
To initiate scanning:
Press scan key and scanning starts. OS icon appears during scanning.

Open Scan (OS) Mode

The Open Scan feature scans for activity on all CB channels in
memory. Once a channel is located, scanning will pause. This will allow
the signal to be heard.

Open Scan

Priority Scan (PS) Mode

With Priority Scan, the radio scans for activity, but in addition, it also
inserts your Priority Channel into the scan sequence.

This means that your Priority Channel will be monitored regularly while
scanning to ensure that no calls are missed. Any signal received on
your Priority Channel will take precedence over any signals received on
the other channels.

The priority channel will be checked after every 4th channel scanned.

......

PRIORITY SCAN

25

Operations

Busy Channel Lock

If the channel is already in use, you can prevent the UHF CB radio from
transmitting. This is particularly important when using CTCSS/DCS.

Key Beep

The Beep tone emits a tone when you press any of the buttons on the
controller speaker microphone (except PTT button).

Roger Beep

This function emits a beep on the communication party to inform that

the transmission is nished.

Squelch Tail

Squelch tail is the noise heard after the transmitting party releases the
PTT and is heard by the receiving party.

If Squelch Tail is turned ON, on both radios this squelch noise will be
muted.

Auto Power Off

This feature allows the radio to be connected directly to the battery
of a vehicle and when enabled, will automatically turn the radio off, if
it has not been used for a preset period of time 1, 2 or 4 hours. The
main purpose of this feature is if the radio is inadvertently left on when
directly connected to the battery it automatically turns the radio off to
prevent the battery from being discharged.

26

Operations

Factory Reset

If the radio’s display locks up or stops functioning properly, you might
need to reset your UHF radio.

Caution: This procedure clears all the information you have stored in
your UHF radio.

Before you reset your UHF radio, try turning it off and on again.
If your UHF radio is still not functioning correctly, you may need to reset

the UHF radio.
To reset, press and hold monitor button and power on. “Reset” will

appear in the display. The radio will then return to standby mode.

TOT (Time Of Timer)

Australian and New Zealand standards require that if the PTT is
pressed for more than 3 minutes, the unit must stop transmitting. The
radio is set to stop transmitting after 2 minutes and 30 seconds of
continuous transmission. “TOT-on” will appear in the display and it will
emit a beep sound to indicate that TOP is activated.

* The primary use for these channels is repeater operation using 750 kHz offset.

Channels 1-8 and 41-48 inclusive are used for mobile reception and channels 31-38
and 71-78 for mobile transmission. In addition, any designated repeater channel may
be used for simplex operation in areas where it is not used for repeater operation.

† Speech telephony is prohibited on these channels.

‡ At the time of production Channels 61, 62 and 63 are guard channels and are not

available for use.

Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as emergency

channels and should be used only in an emergency.
CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35.
A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website

in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling

channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road

vehicle channel.
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to

another unused "SIMPLEX" channel to allow others to use the calling channel.
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice

communications are not allowed on these channels.
Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
