Security considerations:

NEVER touch an antenna or internal antenna connector during

transmission.

NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe

driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an

accident.

NEVER apply more than 16V DC to the transceiver or use reverse

polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This

may result in an electric shock or may damage the transceiver.

NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

NEVER change the manufacture settings of the transceiver. This

may reduce performance and/or damage to the transceiver.

NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle.

NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part

or connectors on the both sides of the transceiver. This may result in

an electric shock or could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.

Immediately turn the transceiver power OFF and remove the

power cable if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke.

Do not use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures

below -10℃ or above +60℃. Be aware that temperatures on a

vehicle’s dashboard can exceed +80℃, resulting in permanent

damage to the transceiver and/or built-in battery pack if left there

for extended periods.

Charging and maintenance of internal battery

X5105 has a built-in 3800mAh battery pack. When the external power supply is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to the X5105, when the X5105 is connected with an external power supply, the circuit inside the machine automatically switches to the external power supply.

Charging method:

1 In the menu-7, select [CHG], select “CHG ON”, start charging function. 2 select “Charger ON”, Start boot-strap charging function. 3 Select “Charger OFF” Shut down boot-strap charging function. If it is power off, then the default is start

boot-strap charging function.

4 The external power supply voltage is set between 13.5V-15.0V and the power supply

is connected to the X5105 external power supply. The host will automatically start charging.

5 The maximum charge time is about 12~15 hours. When the battery is full, the

charging will stop automatically.

When the battery is powered for X5105, when the battery power is about to run out, the power indication sign on the upper right corner of the screen is displayed as . At this point, the X5105 should be charged or switched to an external power supply. During the charging process, the casing of the machine has a slight fever.

Normally, the lifetime of the internal battery is about 3 years. When there is a significant

drop in capacity or charging failure, contact the dealer to replace the battery (outside the warranty period, you will be charged for a fee).

When using an external power supply, do not exceed the rated voltage of the device, otherwise it will cause damage to the device.

Please turn off the power immediately when the machine shell is very hot near the battery, and put the equipment in a safe and ventilated place. After confirming the safety situation, please contact us for proper handling.

X5105 transceiver can be connected with the computer, using the corresponding computer software to complete the PSK communication. Operation method:

A. From the ACC port (MINI-DIN8), the computer audio output / input is connected to

X5105.

B. Use the data cable to connect the CIV port of the X5105 with the computer and

ensure the driver is installed correctly. The PC software can control the X5105 transceiver.

C. Adjust the volume of X5105, ACC port input / output volume to the right, observe
