RF Hazard Warming
The electro-magnetic (radio Frequency) exposure level of this
device may exceed the European standards of the hazard level
when transmitting at the high-power setting while connected to a
unity gain antenna at a distance of 63cm or less from the operator.
Furthermore, the hazardous RF exposure level depends on the
conditions of the combination of the antenna gain, distance from
the operator, output setting and installation environment, therefore
the operator may be exposed to stronger RF even at a distance of
more than 63cm. For safety purpose, it is recommended that the
antenna be installed outside of, and as far as possible from, the
operator’s area. Avoid using an excessively high-gained antenna
in case the distance between the operator and the antenna is
very limited. Always use the minimum necessary output power for
communications.
CAUTION:

Mobile Operation
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V
vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current
to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during
transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.
1. Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
Never use the cigarette lighter socket as a DC source.
The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from
heat, moisture, and the engine secondary(high voltage) ignition
system/cables.
2. After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to
reinforce whole cable.
3. In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down
connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
4. Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the
power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+)
terminal and black connects to the negative (-) terminal.
Never remove the fuse holders from the cable.
5. Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.
6. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver's power supply
connector.
Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.

2Initial Installation
Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver, be sure to
switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.
Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make
all connections.
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need
a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included) , Please contact local
dealer to require.
The current capacity of your power supply must be 12A or more.
1. Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply
and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black:
negative).
Never directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a

Initial Installation
External Speaker
If you plan to use an external speaker, choose a speaker with an
impedance of 8Ω. The external speaker jack accepts a 3.5mm (1/8")
mono (2-conductor) plug.
After being connected to an appropreate power source, press
PWR
key
to turn on. Press and hold
P3
key for 2 seconds to display the supplied
voltage.
The display immediately changes as the voltage supply changes, It also
displays voltage during transmission.
The transceiver will return to its normal operation when the power is
turned ON/OFF or repeat above operation.
Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success
of your installation will depend on the type of antenna and its correct
installation.
Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that
has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, to match the transceiver input
impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having
an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby televisions, radio receivers
and other electronic equipment.
The range of displayed voltage is from 9V to16V DC. Because the
displayed value is estimated, please use a voltmeter when a more
precise reading is desired.
Power supply voltage Display
Antenna Connection
Accessories Connections
Important
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched
load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the
transceiver before transmitting.
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.

of the main squelch status, the audio can
be heard ONLY when the matching tone/
code signal is received. The combination
of CTCSS squelch and DCS function is not
available; only one or the other may be used
for a given channel. Tone settings can be
programmed in memory channels. In memory mode, the setting may
be changed temporary but changing a channel or turning off the radio
will cancel the operation and returns to programmed setting.
1. Press
P3
key. The current setting will be displayed with T/SQ/DCS
icons and relative frequency/code.
2. Select icon to set the encoding tone.The number below
represents the tone frequency in Hz. Use [ / ] keys
to select the desired encoding tone.If the repeater requires only
encoding tone, press [PTT] to set and operate.
3. To set tone squelch, Press
P3
key again to display icon.
Select decoding tone frequency that can be set different from
encoding tone. Press [PTT] to set and operate tone-squelch.
4. Press it again so that the 3-digit number and icon is displayed.
This is the DCS code, and it enables DCS encoding and decoding.
Press [ / ] keys to change codes. Press any key ( Except
FUNC / PWR / TS / DCS, UP / DOWN keys) to enter the setting and

KEY OPERATIONS
The standard set of 50 different CTCSS tones are available. DCS
encode/decode cannot be separated. The list of selectable tones and
codes is shown on Appendix at the end of this manual.
CTCSS SCAN
While receiving CTCSS signal, press
P3
key
to select or TSQ then hold
P3
key until
starts scanning. Once finding a matching
CTCSS tone, a voice will be heard and
resumes scanning after 15 seconds.
While receiving DCS signal, press
P3
key to select DCS then hold
P3
key until starts scanning. Once finding a
matching DCS code, a voice will be heard and
resumes scanning after 15 seconds.
Press
FUNC
key to display icon, then press
P4
key to switch between high/Mid/low
power.
None: Transmits in high power
: Transmits in middle power
: Transmits in low power
HIGH/MID/LOW Power SETTING
DCS SCAN 1. Press and hold
P2
key for over 2
seconds, LCD displays offset direction
and offset frequency.
2. Repeatedly press
P2
key to select
positive offset or negative offset.
3. When LCD displays " " icon, it indicates positive offset, which
means transmitting frequency higher than receiving frequency.
Repeater receives a signal(UP-LINK) on one frequency and re-transmits
on another frequency(DOWN-LINK). The difference between these two
frequencies is called the offset frequency. If the UP-LINK frequency is
higher than DOWN-LINK frequency, the direction is positive, If it is lower,
the shift direction is negative.
Offset Direction and offset frequency setup
4. When LCD displays " " icon, it indicates negative offset, which
means transmitting frequency lower than receiving frequency.
5. Mic's [ / ] key to change offset frequency in
accordance with the step setting.
6. Press any key except
FUNC
and
P2
key to set and finish setting.
In memory mode, this operation can be temporarily available.
Once the radio is turned off or switched to another channel, the
