4.- GETTING STARTED:
4.1.- CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK:
The battery pack is not fully charged at the factory, charge it before use.
Initially charging the battery pack after purchasing the transceiver or extended
storage (greater than 2 months). The battery pack does not reach full capacity until
the charging/discharging cycle is repeated two or three times.
Charging procedure:
Cautions:
- Don´t recharges the battery pack if it is fully charged; this procedure will shorten
its life and may be damaged.
- After charging the battery pack, remove it from the desktop battery charger.
Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the battery pack life
due to overcharging.
Notes:
- Charge the battery pack in an environment with a temperature range between 5ºC
and 40ºC. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
- Switch off the transceiver if you are charging the battery pack with the battery

installed in the transceiver. Using the transceiver while charging may interfere
with the correct charging.
- The battery pack life is over when it’s operating time decreases even though it is
fully and correctly charged. In this case, replace the battery pack with a new one
with the same characteristics as that supplied with the transceiver.
4.2.- INSTALLING / REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK:
The duration of the battery charge is approximately 8 hours. This time has been
calculated with a duty cycle of 5-5-90 % (TX-RX-Standby).
Cautions:
- Do not short the battery terminals and do not dispose by fire.
- Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack.

7.- AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS:
7.1.- TIME-OUT TIMER:
This function prevents any single user from transmitting on a channel for an
extended period of time.
If you continuously transmit for 10 minutes, you will hear a warning tone and the
transceiver will stop the transmission. To disable the tone, release the [PTT]. You
can press [PTT] again to resume transmission.
7.2.- BATTERY SAVE:
The battery save function decreases the amount of power used when a signal is not
being received or no operation is performed on the transceiver. If no signal is
received on the channel and no operation is performed on the transceiver within 10
seconds, the battery save function will be enabling. The function will be
automatically disabled when a signal is received or an operation is performed into
transceiver.
7.3.- LOW BATTERY WARNING:
The low battery warning alerts you when the battery needs to be recharged.
If when transmitting, the battery power goes below a predetermined value, the
status LED will blink red. When a tone is sounds, the transceiver stops transmitting.
In this case, recharge the battery pack or replace it with a fully charged one.
7.4.- MONITOR (SQUELCH):
When no signal is received, the “squelch”automatically mutes the speaker so you
will not hear background noise. To manually disable the “squelch”, press and hold
the [MONITOR] key. This is useful when you want to adjust the volume level or
when you need to hear a weak signal.
Note:
- The LED indicator lights green while the “squelch” key is pressed.
7.5.- ANALOGICAL CODES (QT) AND DIGITAL CODES (DQT):
In some channels you can program QT/DQT tones. A QT/QDQT tone is a
subaudible tone that allows you to ignore (not hear) the calls of other users who are
using same channel. When you receive a signal that has a different tone than the
one programmed on your transceiver, you will not hear the communication. In the
same way, only users who have programmed the same tone as their transceiver
can hear to their communication.

English - 9 -
Note:
- Although using channels set up with QT/DQT tones prevents you from listening
to unwanted calls, it does not mean that your calls are totally private.
- Consult whit your salesperson for the programming of analogical (QT) and digital
(DQT) codes.
