PREPARATION
INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use.
CAUTION
◆Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by re.
◆Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
1Align the battery pack with the back of the
transceiver, then press the battery pack and
transceiver rmly together until the release latch on
the base of the transceiver locks.
2To remove the battery pack, lift the safety catch on
the base of the transceiver, then press the release
latch underneath the safety catch.
3While pressing the release latch, pull the battery
pack away from the transceiver.

4
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
ATTENTION:
◆Always switch OFF a transceiver equipped with a battery pack before inserting the
transceiver into the charger.
1Plug the AC adapter cable into the jack located on the rear of the charger.
2Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
3Slide a battery pack or a transceiver equipped with a battery pack into the
charging slot of the charger.
• Make sure the metal contacts of the battery pack mate securely with the
charger terminals.
• The indicator lights red and charging begins.
Indicator
4When charging is completed, the indicator flashing green. Remove the battery
pack or the transceiver from the charging slot of the charger.
• It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery pack.
• When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the AC adapter
from the AC outlet.
Note:
◆When the indicator blinks red, the battery pack is either defective or the battery pack
contacts are not properly mated with those of the charger.
◆When the indicator ashes green and orange, the battery pack has not satised the
charging start temperature. Remove the battery pack from the charger and wait until it
reaches a normal temperature before charging it again.
◆The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C while charging is in
progress. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
◆The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully
and correctly charged. Replace the battery pack.

5
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP
If necessary, attach the belt clip using the two
supplied M3 x 8 mm binding screws.
Note:
◆If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location
may get hot during continuous transmission or when
left sitting in a hot environment.
◆Use the Phillips #2 screwdriver.

screws
CAUTION
◆Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the belt
clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver. Acrylic ester, which is contained in
these glues, may crack the transceiver’s back panel.
INSTALLING THE CAP OVER THE SPEAKER/ MICROPHONE
JACKS
Note:
◆To keep the transceiver water resistant, you must cover the speaker/ microphone jacks
with the supplied cap.
◆Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver.
1If you are not using an optional speaker/ microphone
or headset, install the cap over the speaker/
microphone jacks.
2Secure the cap in place using the attached screw.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER/ MICROPHONE OR HEADSET
Note:
◆The transceiver is not fully water resistant when using a speaker/ microphone or
headset.
◆Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver.
1Insert the speaker/ microphone plugs into the
speaker/ microphone jacks of the transceiver.
2Place the locking bracket over the speaker/
microphone plugs so that the locking tabs insert
into the transceiver grooves.
3Secure the locking bracket in place using the
attached screw.

QT/DQT SETUP (ANALOGUE)
Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that reject undesired
signals on your channel.You will hear a call only when you receive a signal that
contains a matching QT tone or DQT code. If a call containing a dierent tone or
code is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. Likewise,
when transmitting using QT or DQT, the receiving station must have a matching
tone or code to hear your call.
Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver
with the same tone or code.
The default QT/DQT settings for each channel are provided in the table {p. 10}.
To change the QT/DQT settings of a channel of Analogue:
1During Setup Mode Selection, rotate the Selector to select a channel number.
• The transceiver announces the zone number and channel number.
2Press the PTT switch to set the channel number.
3Press the Side 1 or Side 2 button to select the QT/DQT Setup Mode.
• The transceiver announces “QT/DQT”.
4Press the PTT switch to enter QT/DQT Setup Mode.
• Beep A (1 beep) will sound and the transceiver announces the QT/DQT
table number.
5Press the Side 1 or Side 2 button to increment/ decrement the QT/DQT table
number.
• QT/DQT table numbers and their corresponding tones/ codes are provided
in the table {p. 17}.
• Press and hold the Side 1 or Side 2 button to increment/ decrement the
Tone number by 5 at a time.
• A voice announcement will inform you of the currently selected QT/DQT
table number.
6Press the PTT switch to temporary save the selected QT/DQT.
• Beep B (2 beeps) will sound.
• Repeat steps 1 to 6 to set up another channel.
7Press the Side 1 or Side 2 button to select the Confirmation Setup Mode.
• The transceiver announces “Conrm”.
8Press the PTT switch to save the setting and return to zone selection.
• Beep B (2 beeps) will sound.
Note:
◆The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if no action is performed for
20 seconds.

COMMON ID SETUP (DIGITAL)
Common ID is a signaling system designed for Digital communications. When
a channel is setup with an ID, squelch will only open when a call containing a
matching Common ID is received. If a call containing a dierent Common ID is
made on the same channel you are using, you will not hear the call.This allows you
to ignore (not hear) calls from another parties who are using the same channel.
To change the ID settings of a channel of Digital:
1During Setup Mode Selection, rotate the Selector to select a channel number.
• The transceiver announces the zone number and channel number.
2Press the PTT switch to set the channel number.
3Press the Side 1 or Side 2 button to select the Common ID Setup Mode.
• The transceiver announces “ID”.

• Press and hold the Side 1 or Side 2 button to increment/ decrement the ID
number by 5 at a time.
• A voice announcement will inform you of the currently selected ID number.
6Press the PTT switch to temporary save the selected ID number.
• Beep B (2 beeps) will sound.
7Press the Side 1 or Side 2 button to select the Confirmation Setup Mode.
• The transceiver announces “Conrm”.
8Press the PTT switch to save the setting and return to zone selection.
• Beep B (2 beeps) will sound.
Note:
◆The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if no action is performed for
20 seconds.

19

transceiver announces “Conrm”.
2Release the PTT switch.
• The transceiver announces the Zone number of the selected channel.
3Rotate the Selector to desired channel.
• The transceiver announces the information of the current channel.
Analogue Channel: Zone number, Channel table number, QT/DQT table
number, scrambler status, and VOX status.
Digital Channel: Zone number, Channel table number, ID number, and
VOX status.
• Press the PTT switch to repeat the voice announcement of the channel
information of the current channel.
