GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The transceiver is a micro-miniature multiband FM transceiver with extensive receive
frequency coverage, providing local-area two-way amateur communications along
with unmatched monitoring capability.
We appreciate your purchase of our transceiver, and encourage you to read this
manual thoroughly, and learn about many exciting features.
Electromagnetic Interfe rence/Compatibility
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference
with other devices or systems .To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where
signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupa tional/Controlled Use

ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire
frequency range of the transceiver. However, for enhanced
based station medium-wave and shortwave reception, you may
wish to connect an external antenna, as the supplied antenna
is very smal l and can not be expecte d to provid e hig h
performance at these frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the
antenn a and screw it onto the matin g connecto r on the
transceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme
force. (See PIC 1)

EXTERNAL EAR-MIC INSTALLATION
Insert the optional earset/microphone plugs into the

Note:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper
part of antenna while screwing it onto the mating connector
on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that
the SWR presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to
avoid excessive feed line loss.
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
If necessary, install the belt clip into the location on the back
of the battery. (See PIC 2)
Note:
Do not use the glue to fasten the screw, while installing the
belt clip. Otherwise, the acrylic acid of the glue may damage
the battery panel.

BATTERY PACK INSTALLATION
The battery pack is a high-performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in a very
compact package. Under normal use, the battery may be used for approximately 400
charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an
older battery that is displaying diminished capacity, you should replace the battery with a
new one. Installation of the battery is easy and quick:
1.Slide the Battery Cover to the Unlock position and then slide the Battery Cover toward
the bottom to remove it.
2.Install the battery into the Battery Compartment.
