Operating Manual

INTRODUCTION
This Manual describes the operation for the Kanematsu Land mobile radio
This Land Mobile is full-featured FM transceiver designed for flexible mobile and base station
business communications in the VHF or UHF Land mobile bands.
This Land mobile radio can be programmed with 128 channels. This Land mobile include a 16
segment, 8character, numeric display for channel display.
Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the CPU,
and easily programmable by dealers using personal computer and PC EDITER software.
FCC Requirements- RF Radiation Exposure- for Occupational Use Only
Your radio must be properly licensed Federal Communications Commission prior to use. Your
Wireless dealer can assist you in meeting these requirements. Your dealer will program each
radio with your authorized frequencies, signaling codes, etc., and will be there to meet your
communications needs as your system expands.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use , always
adhere to the following guidelines.
CAUTION
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 3dBi. The radio must
be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum operating duty factor not exceeding
50%, in typical push-to-talk configurations.This radio is NOT approved for use by
the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted
occupational use, work related operations only where radio operator must have
the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and
bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 2 feet(0.7meters)
between any persons and the antenna . Failure to observe these restrictions will
result exceeding FCC RF exposure limits.
Do not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached. As this may damage the radio
and may also cause to exceed FCC RF exposure limits.
Always use authorized accessories.

READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND
EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR LAND MOBILE
RADIO.
A List of several possible hazard is given.
WARNING
 Only qualified technicians are allowed to repair this product.
 Typical electronic systems that may malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio
frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment,
consult the dealer.

operation a mobile radio. Be sure to turn the radio off while fueling a vehicle.
 Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a radio within 500 feet
of the blasting caps. Always obey the “Turn Off Two –Way radios” signs posted where
dynamite is being used.
 Do not install the radio in the closed compartment that contains an LP gas container or
its fitting.
 No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or
certified electronic technician.
 Using your radio to send personal messages is a violation of FCC rules.

BASIC OPERATION
Important! – Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power connections
have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to the antenna jack.
Overview - Your authorized Dealer can program your radio for Conventional format.
RECEIVE
Switching Power ON
Turn power on by the VOL/PWR knob. The radio will beep, and become illuminated.
Press the UP/DOWN button to choose the desired operating channel. A channel name will
appear on the display.
Setting the volume
Turn the VOL/PWR knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to
decrease it.
Select a Channel
Press the assigned PF button to Up/down Channel.
The display can show channel numbers or channel labels. Technician along programs the
display mode and channel labels.
Transmitting
Press PF button, which is programmed to the Monitor feature to listen for channel activity
When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio cannot receive a
call and transmit simultaneously.
Press PTT switch.
If the channel is clear, the BUSY/TX indicator will grow red. The radio is now transmitting.
While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the microphone in a clear and
normal voice. For best transmission, hold the microphone about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from
your mouth. Release the PTT switch to receive.
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been programmed on a channel, the radio will not

transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate a continuous low-pitched
tone while PTT switch is pressed. Release the PTT switch and wait for the channel to be clear
of activity.
If CTCSS or Digital Code Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed on a channel, the
radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being received or when the carrier being
received includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.
Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for Time-Out Timer, you must limit the length of
each transmission, While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds before time-out.
Another beep will sound just before the deadline; The TX indicator will disappear the
transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must release the PTT
switch and wait for the “penalty timer “ to expire (if you press the PTT switch before this timer
expires, the timer restarts, and you will have to wait another “penalty” period)

ADVANCED OPERATION
Programmable Function Buttons
