To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your
vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the
vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position
so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your
vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct
sunlight.

Mobile Operation
In many cars,the cigar-lighter plug is always powered. If this is the case, you
cannot use it for the ignition key on/off function.
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.
When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON(Start) position with
7.
the radio turned off, the power switch illuminates. The illumination
will be turned off when the ignition key is turned to the off position.
Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
1.
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as
some
cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.
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.
After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
2.
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to
reinforce whole cable.
In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down

connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
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.
Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even if
the
cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse
holders from the cable.
Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.

Initial 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), power
supply( QRP-01) as optional accessories. Please contact local dealer
to require.
The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12A.
Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply
1.
and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black:
negative).
Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a
regulated power supply.
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.
To turn on the unit, press the power switch manually while it is
illuminated. (While ignition key is at ACC or ON position)
When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON position with the
8.
radio's power switch on, the unit turns on automatically and the
power switch will be lit. Turn the ignition key to OFF position or
manually turn the power switch off to shut down the radio.

REPLACING FUSES
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses
continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your autho-
rized dealer or an authorized servi-
cecenter for assistance.
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
After connecting the transceiver to the power supply, the supply voltage
can be displayed on LCD by pressing the
FUNC
key together with the
SCAN
key.
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
switched ON or repeat above operation.

and field intensity, you can't hear the calling from transmitting party,
it means current channel receives a matching carrier but unmatching
signaling(Refer to CTCSS/DCS encode and decode or Optional Signaling
setup).

Setting the radio to a tight squelch level, you can avoid unwanted signals
or noise, but you may not receive a weak signal. Therefore, it will be
better for you to select the normal squelch level.
In frequency (VFO) mode, this function is designed to monitor signal
of every communicative frequency point of transceiver "step size" you
have set.
In channel mode, this function is designed to monitor signal in every
channel.

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
higher than DOWN-LINK frequency, the direction is positive, If it is lower,
the shift direction is negative.
