General
Manual Scope
This manual is intended for use by experienced technicians familiar with similar types of communication
equipment. It contains all service information required for the equipment and is current as of the
publication date.
User Safety Information
The following precautions are recommended for personnel safety:
DO NOT transmit until all RF connectors are verified secure and any open connectors are properly
terminated.
SHUT OFF and do not operate this equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
When in vehicles with an airbag, do not place a portable radio in the area over an airbag or in the
airbag deployment area.
Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight for a long time nor place it close to a heating source.
Do not use any portable radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with your skin, a minor burn may result.
When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone
about 5 centimeters away from your mouth.
If you wear a portable radio on your body, be sure to keep the antenna at least 2.5
centimeters away from your head or body when transmitting.
This equipment should be serviced by qualified technicians only.

Radio Modes
Mode Entry for Mode Startup Audible & Visual Indicator
User Mode Disconnect the SELF points and then turn the
power on Power-on alert tone (one long Beep)
Model Set Mode Short out the SELF points and then turn the power
on
2 short Beeps, the light flashes from red
to green
User Wired Clone Mode
Disconnect the SELF points, turn on the power
while holding down Function Key, press Function
Key again
1 short Beep
Factory Wired Clone
Mode
Short out the SELF points, turn on the power while
holding down Function Key, press Function Key
again
2 short Beeps
Manual Adjust Mode
Enable Manual Adjust Mode, turn on the power
while holding down [PTT] and Function Key
simultaneously, the radio enters this mode in 2
seconds
2 short Beeps, orange light glows
PC Programming &
Adjust Mode
Connect the radio with PC, turn on the radio and
activate this mode in programming software
1. User Mode
User Mode is for conventional communication operation. Disconnect the two SELF points and then turn
the power on, the radio enters User Mode. (Refer to “TC-600 Owner’s Manual” for detailed operation
description.)
2. Model Set Mode
(1) Select MS1 according to the radio model. If MS1 is 1, short out the two MS1 points on PCB. If not,
disconnect the two MS1 points.
(2) Short out the two SELF points and then turn the power on. Two Beeps sound.
(3) Turn Channel Selector Knob to the corresponding position (1-11) according to the radio model
(Refer to “Initial Data Table”).
(4) Press [PTT] while holding down Function Key to set the model. Channel data and settings are
initialized (Refer to “Initial Data Table”).

(5) Turn off the power and then disconnect the two SELF points to complete the model setting.
For example, MS1 of TC-600U (450.000~469.995MHz) is 0 and its model is 7(Refer to “Initial
Data Table”). To initialize its model and channel data, you can operate as following:
● Disconnect the two MS1 points.
● Short out the two SELF points.
● Turn on the power and rotate the Channel Selector Knob to CH7.
● Press [PTT] while holding down Function Key.
● After reset, turn off the power and disconnect the two SELF points. The radio operates at the
preset frequency after restart.
Note: Once the new model is set, previous channel settings (frequency, CTCSS/CDCSS, channel
function settings) will be deleted, and part of functions are also changed. Therefore, do not make this
operation unless it’s very necessary, such as changing the EEPROM, etc.
3. PC Programming Mode
The following parameters can be set through programming software:
(1) Receive frequency and transmit frequency
(2) Receive signaling and transmit signaling
(3) Busy channel lockout (BCL)
(4) Time-out timer (TOT)
(5) Squelch level
(6) Battery save
(7) Audio alarm
(8) Monitor mode
(9) Scan mode
(10) Scan revert channel
(11) Priority scan channel
(12) Wideband/narrowband per radio
(13) High/low power
(14) Wideband/narrowband per channel

4. PC Adjust Mode
The following settings can be adjusted through the programming software:
(1) Low battery alert level
(2) SQL9
(3) SQL3
(4) CTCSS deviation (wide)
(5) CDCSS deviation (wide)
(6) CTCSS deviation (narrow)
(7) CDCSS deviation (narrow)
5. Manual Adjust Mode
If Manual Adjust Mode is enabled, turn on the power while holding down [PTT] and Function Key
simultaneously, the radio enters Manual Adjust Mode in 2 seconds. Choose the adjusting items by
turning the channel selector knob to CH1-CH7; use [PTT] /Function Key to adjust upwards/downwards
(Note: MIC jack shouldn’t be connected with external cable while adjusting), CH1-CH7 are defined as
follows:
(1) Low battery alert level
(2) SQL9
(3) SQL3
(4) CTCSS deviation (wide)
(5) CDCSS deviation (wide)
(6) CTCSS deviation (narrow)
(7) CDCSS deviation (narrow)

CH12-CH16 are used to adjust transmitter and receiver. Press [PTT] to transmit; release to receive. In
receive mode, short press the Function Key to toggle among high and low power, or long press it to
switch between wideband and narrowband. Three Beeps alternating from high tone to low tone indicate
that the transmit power is switched from high to low; and three beeps alternating from low tone to high
tone indicate that the transmit power is switched from low to high. Two Beeps sound when wideband is
selected and one Beep sounds when narrowband is selected. CH12-ch16 are defined as follows:
(12) Center frequency (the difference between RX and TX frequency is 0.1MHz)
(13) Lowest frequency (the difference between RX and TX frequency is 0.1MHz)
(14) Highest frequency (the difference between RX and TX frequency is –0.075MHz)
(15) Center frequency: transmit DTMF number “9” (the difference between RX and TX frequency is
0.1MHz)
(16) Center frequency: transmit with 250.3Hz CTCSS signaling (the difference between RX and TX
frequency is 0.1MHz)
Note:
To enable/disable the Manual Adjust Mode: short out the two SELF points, turn on the power to enter
Model Set Mode, then Manual Adjust Mode is enabled. Press [PTT] to disable. It suggests this mode be
disabled after the adjustment is completed.
6. User/Factory Wired Clone Mode
The only difference between the two modes is that the latter is able to clone the adjustment settings.
Turn on the power while holding down Function key to enter Wired Clone Mode.
a) If the two SELF points are disconnected, press Function key again, the radio starts user wired clone
and red LED flashes; when cloning is completed, red LED goes out.
b) If the two SELF points are short out, press Function key again, the radio starts factory wired clone
and red LED flashes; when cloning is completed, red LED goes out.
