This transceiver is a heavy duty Freenet radio, which can be optionally modified by your dealer
also into a professional transceiver together with the Freenet channels. In this unit only the channels 1 – 3 are already factory-preset to the Freenet channels, i.e. the number of the rotary channel
selector position corresponds with the actual Freenet channel. The positions 4 – 16 are free
according to the factory setting. The TX output power on the Freenet channels is reduced to 500 mW
in the radiated field according to the European regulation. See in the chapter “technical data“ for
the table of the Freenet channel numbers together with the corresponding frequencies. When the
unit remains in pure Freenet operation, it is free of charge and registration in most European
countries.
If you want to use the unit as a professional transceiver, you have to contact your local telecommunication authorities. You may be required to pay costs of registrations and annual fees for
every unit and for every frequency. If your application is passed, you can go to your dealer and
let him set your PT-2208S to the permitted frequency(ies) and adjustments.

Mounting of the Accumulator
At first turn the rear panel towards you. Place the accumulator ( 9 ) in that way
on the unit’s rear panel that the 4 slip planes of the unit grip into the corresponding guiding slots of the accumulator, and that the accumulator’s charging
contacts show into the direction of the unit’s base. Then push the accumulator
under simultaneous slight pressure on its back into the direction of the unit’s top
side, until the latch on the unit’s base clicks into place. Now the unit is ready for
radio operation.
Detaching of the Accumulator
Turn again the unit’s rear panel towards you. To release the accumulator from
the unit you have to pull the latch on the unit’s base with your finger towards the
unit’s front panel, while pushing simultaneously the accumulator towards the
unit’s base. After the accumulator is slid out of the unit’s slip planes you can take it off.
Removing and mounting of the belt clip
Turn the rear panel towards you.
Mounting of the Belt Clip
Pull the springy support of the belt clip a bit out of its rest position by using your
index finger and your middle finger. When the support is parallel to belt clip’s main
part insert it from above into the corresponding guide on the back of the accumulator. Push the belt clip into the direction of the unit’s base until the belt clip’s latch
clicks into place.
Detaching
The latch of the belt clip is located on the accumulator’s back near the top side.
Pull the latch with your fingernail away from the accumulator’s back and push
simultaneously the belt clip towards the unit’s top side. After the belt clip is slid out
12
of its guide you can take it off.

Operation of the TEAM PT-2208S
1) Turning the unit On/Off
To turn on the unit rotate the volume control with ON/OFF switch [VOLUME/OFF] ( 4 )
from its rest position clockwise until you hear a click. A short beep tone will be heard
from the loudspeaker ( 8 ), which indicates that the unit is in reception mode. To switch
off the unit rotate the volume control with ON/OFF switch [VOLUME/OFF] ( 4 ) counter-
clockwise to the final stop [OFF] until you hear a click. This indicates that the unit is switched off
now.
2) Volume level adjustment
If a radio operator sends a message on the actual channel, you can hear it in the
incorporated loudspeaker ( 8 ). If the actual channel is free, the loudspeaker will be
silent. In this case you can produce a strong noise in the loudspeaker by pressing the
monitor key ( 6 ). Adjust the volume control [VOLUME/OFF] ( 4 ) to a comfortable
listening level. Turning the control clockwise will increase the volume level and turning it counterclockwise will reduce the volume level.
3) Channel selection
The TEAM PT-2208S has maximal 16 channels available. To select another channel
turn the rotary channel selector [1-15, S] ( 3 ). According to the programming of the
channels, which has been made by your dealer, the unit will call up those transmit and
reception frequencies which correspond to the actual position 1 – 15 ( 16 ) of the
rotary channel selector.
Note: If the rotary channel selector is set to a un-programmed position, you will hear a continuous warning tone in the loudspeaker.
4) Transmission
Do not transmit if the antenna ( 1 ) is not mounted. Check activity on the actual channel. Do not
send if someone talks on the actual channel. Only if the loudspeaker is silent and the indicator
light ( 2 ) is dark, the channel is free. Press also the monitor key ( 6 ). There must be a noise if
the channel is not occupied.
To transmit depress and hold the PTT key ( 5 ). During transmission the indicator light ( 2 ) lights
up red and the rotary channel selector is disabled. Hold the unit upright. The sensitivity of the
built-in microphone is set for speaking at a distance of 2 inches. Speaking too loud will cause
distortions and makes the signal difficult to understand. On completion of the transmission release the PTT key and the set will return to receive mode.
Note: Radio operation is only possible with the counter operator at coinciding channels.
5)Receiving
After being switched on, the unit is always in receiving mode, as long as it is not transmitting.
When it does not receive any signal on the actual channel, it would produce a disturbing noise
in the loudspeaker ( 8 ). For this end the unit is equipped with a built-in noise suppression circuit
( squelch ) that mutes the receiver if there is no signal on the actual channel. If there is any
incoming signal, the squelch will turn the loudspeaker on and cause the indicator light ( 2 ) simultaneously to light up green. This indicates that the channel is occupied. Your dealer can adjust
the squelch threshold. The squelch function can be disabled to hear also weak signals which are
not strong enough for the squelch to turn the loudspeaker on ( monitor function ).
Depress the monitor key ( 6 ). Now the noise suppression is shut off and the indicator light lights
up green simultaneously . If there is no station on the actual channel you hear a noise in the speaker. To reactivate the squelch release the monitor key ( 6 ) again. Thus the squelch works again.
The monitor key function can also be changed by your dealer. For further information see point
4 of the chapter “Auxiliary functions of the PT-2208S”.

6)Sockets for External Speaker-Microphone
Behind the screw-fixed cover on top of the unit’s right side you can find two jack
sockets for stereo plugs Ø 2,5/3,5 mm [SPK/MIC] ( 7 ). They serve for the connection of a speaker-microphone with PTT function or for a separate microphone or a
separate speaker. As already indicated on the cover, the upper socket is for the speaker and the lower socket is for the microphone. The internal speaker and/or the internal microphone will be switched off, if the socket for the corresponding external
accessory is in use.
7) Charging of the accumulator:
Insert the DC connector of the power cord coming from the adapter into the socket on
the rear of the charging mould. Then connect the adapter with a wall outlet ( 230 V,
50 Hz ).
As a result the middle LED ( POWER ) on the charging mould lights up green,
which indicates that the charger is ready for operation now.
The accumulator is not charged in the factory. Therefore it must be charged before it is used the first time. Now insert the transceiver with mounted accumulator
or only the accumulator itself into the charging mould. The front panel must show
into the direction of the push button, or the charging contacts to the rear.
The green shining LED ( POWER ) on the charging mould switches itself off, and the LED
( CHARGING ) lights up red now, which indicates that the charging process has started. During
the charging process a device in the charging mould checks constantly the charging content of
the accumulator. When the charging mould has detected that the accumulator is completely
charged, the red LED ( CHARGING ) switches itself off, and the LED ( POWER ) lights up green
again.
The charging current is reduced to a very little value now ( trickle charge ), just to compensate
the self-discharging current. Now you can take out the transceiver with mounted accumulator or
only the accumulator itself from the charging mould.
The charging time of a totally discharged accumulator amounts to 3 – 4 hours, a partially
discharged accumulator needs less time.
The charging control device can also detect a defective accumulator. In case of a normally wornout accumulator the red LED ( CHARGING ) lights up only for a short time, and then the LED
( POWER ) will light up green again. In case of a short-circuit in the accumulator no LED will light
up at all. In case of an overheating of the accumulator the middle LED ( POWER ) on the charging mould lights up yellow.
The button on the charging mould has no function.
Never try to recharge alkaline cells or other accumulators than the supplied one with the charging mould.
8)Accumulator Alert Indication
The unit is equipped with a accumulator level monitoring circuit which alerts you, when the stored energy is nearly completely used up. If the accumulator voltage drops below a certain value
in transmission mode, you will hear a warning tone in the speaker. If the accumulator voltage
drops below this value while transmitting, the indicator light ( 2 ) starts to flash red. After releasing the PTT key and pressing it once again now, the unit will not transmit any more. Now it is
time to recharge the accumulator.
Scan function of the TEAM PT-2208S
The scan function must be installed into your transceiver by your dealer, before you can use it.
If it is not installed, there is another channel available on position [S] ( = 16 ) of the rotary channel selector. In the description below it is assumed that the scan function is active. Ask your dea-
14
ler for more details.
Page 7
ENGLISH
1) Start of the scan function
When you turn the rotary channel selector on position [S] ( = 16 ) the unit runs through all channels which your dealer has selected for the scan function ( scanning list ). If there is a radio
operator signal on one channel which is strong enough to open the squelch, the scan function
will pause on that channel. You can hear the partner station but the scan remains active.
2) End of the scan function
When you turn the rotary channel selector on a position between 1 and 15 the scan function is
not active.
3) Restart of the scan function
Your dealer can select between two conditions under which the scan function restarts stepping
through the scanning list when it has previously stopped on an occupied channel:
a) Time control: The scan function restarts working after a dealer-set dwell time between 0.5 and
5 s, beginning from the moment of stopping on that channel. The dwell time does not depend on
whether the channel is free or still occupied.
b) Carrier wave control: The scan function restarts working 3 s after the radio operator signal has
dropped below the squelch threshold.
4) Transmission during activated scan function
Your dealer can select one of 4 different criteria to determine the transmit frequency while the
scan function is active:
a) Selected channel: When pressing the PTT key while the scan function is active the unit trans-
mits basically on the first channel of the scanning list, i.e. the channel with the lowest channel
number.
b) Selected channel or actual channel: When the pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan
function is stepping through the scanning list, the unit transmits on the first channel of the
scanning list. When the pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan function is resting on
a channel, the unit transmits on this channel.
c) Prior channel: When pressing the PTT key while the scan function is active the unit transmits
basically on the prior channel, i.e. any channel of the scanning list which your dealer can select.
d) Prior channel or actual channel: When the pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan func-
tion is stepping through the scanning list, the unit transmits on the prior channel. When the
pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan function is resting on a channel, the unit transmits on this channel.
Note: Once a channel is selected for transmit mode, you can send your entire message on this
channel. After you have released the PTT key the unit will still stay for a dealer-set dwell time
between 0.5 and 5 s on this channel, before the channel scanning is restarted again.
Auxiliary functions of the TEAM PT-2208S
These functions must be installed into your transceiver by your dealer, before you can use them.
In the description below it is assumed that the functions are active. Ask your dealer for more
details.
1) Transmit time limiter
The transmit time limiter ( = time-out-timer ) has the effect of limiting the maximum time for continuous transmitting on a channel. This transmit duration limit can be adjusted in steps between
0.5 and 5 minutes by your dealer. If the transmit time exceeds the actual transmit duration limit
during your message, the transmitter will shut off automatically, and you will hear a warning tone
in the speaker. To stop the warning tone and to reactivate the transmitter you have to release
briefly the PTT key.
15
Page 8
ENGLISH
2) Busy channel lockout function
The lockout function for busy channels has the effect to prevent the unit from interfering with other stations. If there is a signal on the actual channel at the moment when you press the PTT key,
the transmitter will not be switched on. In this situation you will only hear a warning tone in the
speaker. When you release the PTT key the warning tone will be stopped and the set will revert
to receiving mode. You can only send if there is no signal on the actual channel at the moment
when you press the PTT key.
3) Energy saving function
The unit is equipped with an energy saving function. This function is factory set in your unit. This
function works only in receive mode. It reduces the current consumption when no signal is
detected on the actual channel and the rotary channel selector is not turned for a period of 10s.
If you do not use the unit for a long period of time, you should switch it off.
4) Additional muting function
The unit is also equipped with a possibility to suppress messages of unwanted operators on the
actual channel while the message of the partner station remains audible. To identify the wanted
radio messages there are two methods available: CTCSS and DCS.
CTCSS method ( = Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System )
The wanted radio message must contain a certain inaudible tone, which the CTCSS detecting
circuit of the receiving unit recognises and which can take the additional muting device out of service. In transmit mode the unit adds to its voice signal also a certain inaudible tone which will be
recognised by the CTCSS detecting circuit of the counter station’s receiver to open its additional muting device.
DCS method ( Digital Coded Squelch )
The digital pulse detecting circuit of the receiving unit checks if the received signal contains any
digital pulses. If it has identified a certain sequence of digital pulses as the opening code of the
wanted message, the muting device lets the radio message pass from that moment on. In case
of sending DCS coded messages the unit transmits immediately, after the PTT key has been
pressed down, a certain sequence of digital pulses, too. These pulses will be recognised by the
digital pulse detecting circuit of the counter station’s receiver, which gives an order to the muting
device to let the radio message pass to the speaker from that moment on. The duration of the
sequence of digital pulses is very short, so you can start to speak without waiting after you have
pressed the PTT key.
Please take into account that other radio operators, who are not equipped with a CTCSS or DCS
coding/encoding device, or who don’t use it, can hear all your conversation if they are working
on the same channel like you and your counter operator.
Your dealer can install for each channel separately the CTCSS or DCS operation. It is also possible to set at the same channel different operation types for receive and transmit mode. But if
you do not want the CTCSS or DCS operation at all, you can take it as well out of service.
If the CTCSS or DCS operation is installed in receiving mode on the actual channel, and if
there is a radio operator on this channel who uses either no CTCSS or DCS operation or a not
according one, you will see only the indicator light ( 2 ) lighting up green, but the speaker will be
silent. This shows you that the channel is occupied and that you should not transmit on this channel for not disturbing the other station.
The CTCSS method allows your dealer to select one of 38 different inaudible tones to encrypt
your messages between you and the wanted radio operator. If you use the DCS method your
dealer will have 166 different digital codes to encrypt your messages between you and the wanted radio operator.
The monitor key stops besides the noise suppression also a possible CTCSS or DCS operation
in the receiver. The monitor key function can be changed in that way by your dealer that only the
CTCSS or DCS operation in receiving mode is shut off, but not the noise squelch.

General
ENGLISH
1)Safety
The unit radiates RF energy in transmitting mode. To reduce the exposure to the lowest possible value and to benefit the most of the set’s features, keep the following in mind:
In transmission mode, keep the unit in a vertical position at a distance of 2 inches away from your
face. Keep the antenna at a distance of at least 3 inch away from your head and your body.
2) Service
The condition of the accumulator must be tested from time to time. If the accumulator is weak a
short time after complete charge, it should be removed from the set. It can leak and damage the
device. Replace it by a new one.
Worn out accumulators do not belong into the waste bin. Bring them to a suitable collecting depot
or to a special dealer, for the sake of the environment.
There are no user-adjustable or user-serviceable parts inside the radio. The casing must not be
opened. Independent repairs or adjustments must not be carried out, since each modification or
unauthorised intervention will immediately cancel all and any guarantee or repair claims, they are
also likely to result in non-conformity to ETS/EN regulations which will render the set to become
illegal.
In the event a defect becoming apparent, contact a properly equipped and authorised TEAM
dealer or TEAM directly.
3) Conformity
The transceiver TEAM PT-2208S complies with the rules of the European Directive R&TTE and
meets the European Telecommunication Standards EN 300 086-2, EN 301 489-1/-5 and EN
60065.
