Maintenance

For optimal performance and functionality of the TeCom-X5, please pay attention to the following
advices.

 Do not open the case of the radio. Improper opening may cause damages and warranty claims

are forfeited.

 For charging of the rechargeable battery pack, only use the charger SLG-TeCom-X5 that is inclu-

ded in the scope of delivery.

 Never expose the radio to direct sunlight or other heat sources. High temperatures will diminish the

longevity of certain components and plastic parts may melt and deform. lzen.

 Never store the radio in dusty or dirty areas.
 Do not expose the radio to any liquid. Humidity max cause corrosion of the pcb and its components.
 Should the radio generate unusual heat or emit unusual smell or even smoke, please turn the

radio off immediately and remove the battery pack. Contact your dealer.

 Never transmit without antenna. A damage of the power amplifier may be the result.

BASIC FUNCTIONS

Antenna

Due to governmental regulations, the antenna in the PMR versi­on is fixed, i.e. non-detachable.

Battery Pack

To attach the battery pack (13) onto the radio, place the bulges
at the bottom of the battery pack into the according holes an the bottom, rear of the radio.
Press the battery pack at the top part against the radio until the battery pack snaps in.
To remove the battery pack, press down the latch and remove the battery pack.

Charging

Prior to first use, the battery pack has to be charged completely. A completely empty battery pack
needs to be charged for approximately three hours. During the charging process, the LED lights
red. Once charging is completed, the LED lights green.
Remove the battery pack out of the charger. Overcharging reduces the battery packs longevity.

On / Off

To turn the radio on, turn the On / Off switch (5) clockwise beyond the barrier. A beep tone is emit­ted if the beep tone function is activated.
To turn off the radio, please turn the On / Off switch (5) counterclockwise beyond the barrier.

Volume Control

To set a comfortable volume level after turning the radio on, hold the monitor key (11) while adju­sting the volume level with the combined On/Off-Volume key (5).

Channel Selection

For channel selection use the key pad (8) or the Up  / Down  (3) keys.
Via key pad enter the channel number in a three digit format, e.g. 001 for channel 1. Upon a misen­try, the last selected channel will be set.
With the Up  / Down  (3) keys, the channels are passed through in the consecutive order. After
the highest channel number, the sequence starts again with the lowest number.
Upon actived memory bank function (03 BANK), only the channels of the selected memory bank
are passed through. For more information about the memory bank function see page XXXXXXXX.

Transmit

For transmission keep pressing the PTT key (9) until the end of message.
For best sound quality, talk into the microphone (4) with normal voice at a distance of approximatly
10 cm.
During transmission the control LED (6) lights red.
Upon release of the PTT key (9) the radio returns automatically into reception mode.

Reception

Upon reception of a signal, the LED (6) lights green.
If the selected frequency is decoded with a CTCSS- / DCS-code, all signals that are encoded with a
different code will be muted. The green LED will light but no signal will be audible.

Key Pad Functions

PTT Key

The PTT key (11) is located at the left side of the radio. Pressing the PTT key will switch the radio
into transmission mode. The LED (6) will light red.

Multi-Function Key

The multi function key (10) is located under the PTT key (6). It can be programmed with one of
these functions: transmit 5-tone selective call

1450 kHz repeater tone
1750 kHz repeater tone
2315 kHz repeater tone

Monitor Key

The monitor key (11) is located on the left side of the radio under the multi-function key (10). When
pressing the monitor key, the squelch is deactivated and a constant noise is audible.
With this function, it is possible to hear very weak signals that would not pass the squelch.

Squelch

The sensivity level of the squelch can be set between 0 and 9, whereas the level 0 corresponds to
the least sensitive level. The squelch is completely open at level 0.
At level 9, the signal has to be very strong to pass the squelch.
To set the squelch level, press the F-key (key pad, lower row, right) followed by the SQL-key (num­ber key 1). The display shows SQL X, where X represents the actual squelch level (0 - 9). Set the
desired squelch level with the Up  / Down  (3) keys and confirm your selection by pressing any
key.

TX Power

For the tx power selection there are three levels available LOW / MID / HIGH. In the versions PMR
and FreeNet, the tx power level HIGH is set to 500 mW. In the COM versions, the high tx power
can be adjusted according to the assigned power of the registration.
To select a tx power level (Low / Mid / High), press the F-key (key pad, lower row, right) followed by
the PWR key (number key 2). The display shows the actual tx power level. Select the wanted
power level with the UP  / Down  keys (3) and confirm your selection by pressing any key.
Setup of tx power level LOW is indicated in the display with the symbol LOW.

Scan

Use the scan function to find occupied channels of the channel list. Channels can be added or remo­ved from the channel list via software or key operation at the radio. Channels of the channel list are
indicated in the display by the symbol PRI, which is located next to the battery status symbol.
To add or remove a channel from the channel list, press the F-key (key pad, lower row, right), followed
by the LOCK key (number key 0).
To start thescan function press the F-key (key pad, lower row, right), followed by the SCAN key (num­ber key 3).
Stop the scan function by pressing any key, with exception of the Up  / Down  keys (3).
There are three scan modes (SE / CO / TO) available. For more information see page XXXX.

Radio

The TeCom-X5 has a radio function. Via software, 25 radio frequencies can be stored. It is also
possible to manually select frequencies via the keypad.
To turn on / off the radio, press the F-key (keypad, lower row, right), followed by the FM key (num­ber 8). In the fixed channel mode, the actual radio channel number is displayed above the frequen­cy, provided that channels have been programmed.
To switch between manual frequency mode and fixed channel mode press the V/M key (keypad,
lower row, left).

Manual Frequency Mode:
The wanted radio station within the frequency range of 70 MHz to 107,9 MHz, can be directly ente­red via the keypad. It is also possible to step to the wanted frequency in 10-kHz steps with the Up
 / Down  (3) keys.
To find an occupied radio station the scan function can be used. Start the scan function by pressing
the F-key (keypad, lower row, right), followed by the SCAN-key (number 3). The display reads SCN.
UP until an occupied channel has been found. The active scan function is indicated by a blinking
dot next to the letter N.
To stop scanning press any key.
Zum Auffinden einer besetzten Radiofrequenz steht ebenso die Suchfunktion zur Verfügung.
Starten Sie den Suchlauf durch Drücken der Sperrtaste (Tastenfeld unten rechts) gefolgt von der
SCAN-Taste (Tastennummer 3). In der Anzeige erscheint solange SCN. UP bis ein besetzer Kanal
gefunden wurde. Der aktive Suchlauf wird durch einen blinkenden Punkt neben dem Buchstaben N
angezeigt. Zum Abbrechen der Suchfunktion irgendeine Taste drücken.

MENU

5-TON SELECTIVE CALLING

The TeCom-X5 contains a 5 tone selective calling function, which parameters are set via soft­ware.

General Description:
Each radio is programmed with an individual radio ID (5-Tone ID). This ID code is always sent
with the encode and it serves also as a decode.
The 5-Tone encodes are entered via keypad. This way, all possible encodes can be sent without
memory storage restrictions.
The own ID is always sent with the encode. If the sent 5-tone encode matches the ID code of
the other radio, the sent ID code will be displayed by the receiving radio and the radio reacts in
the programmed way, e.g. the speaker unmutes, a beep tone is audible or an automatic ack­nowledgement is sent.
Important: For the selective calling function to work, the programmable function key (10) has to
be set to Optional Signal Call.

CONNECTOR

The TeCom-X5 has a Kenwood-compatible accessory jack (3.5 / 2.5 mm - stereo / stereo) for
connecting headphones, microphones and the data transfer cable, required for programming the
radio via software.

Suitable accessory can be found in the actual TEAM catalogue.
