IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the
transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL- This instruction manual contains
important operating instructions for the transceiver.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or
touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories
at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume
operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A.
Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values
will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be
ruined.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be aware that external DC
power connections will charge batteries inside the battery case. This will damage
not only the battery case but also the transceiver.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit. Place the unit in a
secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an
explosive atmosphere.

4
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with
temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C(+140°F).The use of non-becom
battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the
warranty.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits.
Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long
time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed Ni-Hi batteries will become exhausted.

BASIC OPERATION
Power ON
POWER SWITCH
Rotate to adjust the volume level, to turn the power ON and OFF.
Setting a frequency
UP/DOWN KEYS
Selects the operating frequency. [UP] / [DN]
Push [D•CLR] to select frequency mode
Push [C•MR] to select channel mode
Setting audio/squelch level
To set the audio level
Rotate [VOL] to set the desired audio level while receiving a signal.
To set the squelch level
While pushing [SQL], push [UP]/[DN] to set the squelch level.
•The squelch level “0” is loose squelch,“25” is tight squelch.
4
Receive and transmit
Adjust audio volume to the desired level.
Set a frequency.
When a signal is received:
• Squelch opens and audio is emitted from the speaker.
• Signal indicator shows the relative signal strength level.
Push [A•FUNC], then push [9•H/L] to toggle output power between high and low.
• “L” appears when low output power is selected.
Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, then speak into the microphone.
• “TX” appears.
•Do not hold the microphone too close to your mouth or speak too loudly. This may

distort the signal.
Release [PTT] to receive.
SUBAUDIBLE TONES
Tone squelch
Operation
The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal containing a matching
subaudible tone. You can silently wait for calls from group members using the same
tone.
Set the operating frequency.
• Set the AF and squelch to the desired level as the normal operation.
Set the desired subaudible tone in the SET MODE.
While pushing [CSTCC], push [UP]/[DN] to set the CTCSS.
• “ ” appears when selecting CTCSS.
When the received signal includes a matching tone, squelch opens and the signal
can be heard.
•When the received signal’s tone does not match, tone squelch does not open
•To open the squelch manually, push and hold [SQL].
