Battery information
Battery protection
Advanced Wireless Communications’ (AWC) radios use lightweight,
environmentally friendly lithium-ion batteries as a power source. The
following battery tips will help you to get the best performance and
prolong the battery life of your equipment.
1. Be sure to use the original AWC charger to charge the battery.
2. When charging radios, please power o the radios to ensure
battery can be fully and eectively charged.
3. New, uninstalled batteries can be stored for long period, but should
be stored in a cool, dry place. (These should be recharged once
every three months to maintain the battery’s electrical properties,
otherwise it will be damaged and will not function properly).
4. New batteries need to be fully charged before use.
5. Use only the battery charger and power supply specied by AWC.
Use of non-authorized charging systems will void the warranty of
both the battery and the equipment.
6. Avoid extreme temperatures as this will eect capacity of the
battery.
7. The battery cannot be stored in hot or cold places, otherwise it will
reduce battery capacity and useful life. The battery should always
be stored at normal temperature, and radios equipped with cold
batteries may temporarily not work, even if fully charged.
8. Do not let the metal stripes on the battery come into contact with
metal objects (such as metal benches, pins, etc) as this may cause
the battery to short circuit.
9. Always dispose of old or damaged batteries in accordance with
local recycling laws.
10. NEVER discard or expose batteries in a re, this may result in an
explosion and serious injury or death.

Battery information (continued)
Battery Usage
1. Do not use, install or attempt to charge damaged batteries.
2. Do not use batteries in any other equipment other than that which it
is designed for.
3. Battery charging time varies and is determined by the remaining
capacity of the battery and the battery and charger type. The
battery can be repeatedly charged and discharged more than
300 times, but they will age with use. Aging will occur quicker when
batteries are used for short periods and then recharged. Batteries
should be allowed to fully discharge before charging to prolong
battery life.
4. Batteries that are stored and unused discharge over time.
Battery charge
1. The battery may be installed in the charger on the radio or alone.
Please use the provided charger power supply with the charger.
2. The charger indicator shows the charge state:
Indicator Current State
Red light ashing Waiting for charge
Red light glows During charging
Green light glows Charge complete

Function and basic operation
Turning your radio on and o
Power on: Turn selector (power switch/ volume control knob)
clockwise. Click will be heard when selector turns the radio on. If
programmed, a power-on tone will be heard and the radio will enter the
receive state.
Power o: Turn selector (power switch/ volume control)
counterclockwise until a click is heard. This indicates that the radio is
powered o.
Switch channel
When you need to make a call on a specic channel, rotate the
channel knob to the desired channel. If the channel broadcast function
is enabled, the channel number will be announced locally. If a channel
has not been populated via programming, a continuous tone will be
heard from the radio.
Push-to-talk operation
Select the desired channel with the channel selector.
Transmit: Hold the radio in a vertical position approximately 2.0 cm
(1.0 inches) from your lip. Press the PTT and speak.
Receive: The LED indicator will light green when a signal is
received and the speaker will emit audio. Adjust the volume control
knob for a comfortable level.

When scan is enabled, a beep will sound and the LED will ash green
to indicate that the radio is in scan. Pressing the scan key again will
result in two beeps to indicate scan mode was exited.
One key calling 1-4 (DMR)
One key calling function including SMS, Voice call. To enable the
feature, press the programmed key, then hold the PT T to launch the
call.

Digital Channel Information
Function: Set digital channel parameters.
Local number: The unique unit identier used to identify an individual
radio/ radio user.
Group call timer: Maintains group call for the period of the timer for
the group call users.
Private call timer: Maintains the private call for the period of the timer
so the two units in the call do not drop out of private call until timer
expires.
Transmit pre-carrier time: The transmitter carrier period before data
or control information is sent to insure information will be sent properly.
It is to insure that other receivers have been captured before data
is sent. It should be carefully set to support the needs of the system
since it does consume channel resources. For example, time may be
extended to insure scanning radios stop on channel.
Voice delay: This parameter denes the overall voice delay when the
transceiver initiates voice communication.
Time out timer (TOT): Ensures that a channel is not used for an
extended period that may consume resources and cause damage to
the radio.
Timeout: The maximum amount of time allowed for continuous
transmit. The radio will emit a local warning tone and will stop transmit
when programmed time is met.
Early warning time: A pre-alert tone may be set to tell the user that
the timeout time is about to be met. The alert will sound locally.
12
Retransmission time: This is the time set in programming that
denotes the period from when the time out timer expires to when the
user may transmit again. The radio will not be able to transmit until this
time expires. Pressing the PTT will sound a warning tone.
Reset time: If the PTT is released before the timeout timer expires,
the timer restarts the count once the PTT is pressed again.
Single call, Group call, All call
Single call (private / individual call): A call made by one user to
another user.
Group call: A group call is made by one user to many users in the
same group.
All call: A user makes a call to All users. All Calls are special groups
that encompass all the users on a channel. It is is considered a high
level call meant for special uses and users. The All Call group
ID is 16777215.
CTCSS / CDCSS
CTCSS features: CTCSS is sub-audible signaling used in analog
operation to limit users to those with matching signaling. Reduces
interference on a channel by selectively opening the radios audio gate.
CDCSS features: CDCSS uses digital signaling in analog operation
to limit users to groups with like signaling.
13
Tail tone elimination (squelch tail)
Used to stop the noise heard in a receiving radio when a transmitting
radio stops transmitting by reversing the phase of the analog sub-
audible signaling.
Power
Power level denes the RF output level emitted by the radio in
transmit.
The power level should be set for the appropriate use to insure range,
call quality, and battery life.
Value range: low power/ high power
