INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Please keep the battery in the clean, dry and ventilated room with
the temperature of -5 35 and the relative humidity not more than
75%, avoid to contacting with any corrosive substance and keep
away from fireand heat.
If the extended storage is needed, please keep the battery in the

temperature of -5 25 . If the time is over three months, the
battery should have a charging. If keep the battery in the unventilated
environment with a temperature of over 40 , the battery may leak,
self-ignite or be damaged by reason of quickening the self discharge.
The battery kept under the temperature of 40 should be charged
once a month and the charging status should be 50% of the battery
capacity.
The battery life will be shortened if using under the maximum condi-
tions, such as limiting temperature, deep charging and discharging
circulation and overcharging/ over discharging.
In the extended storage, the battery may be write-off or the capacity
may reduce seriously without any charging and discharging maint-
enance.

magnetic field, orthe protecting system will be damaged and bring
safety trouble.
The charging temperatureis from -10 to 40 , please chargewithin
this range, orthe charger may start automatic protection to stop
charging or thebattery may be damaged.
If an abnormalodor, leak or any other abnormal situation isdetected
coming from thebattery, pleasedo not use it, but return it to the
dealer.

Do not keepor transit the battery with metals (like necklace).

or trample onthe battery.
Do not weldthe battery directly.
To avoid damaging the safety system of the battery, do not destroy or
modify it; donot disassemble and assemble or remodel the battery.
Do not putthe battery in a microwave oven or pressure cooker.
Do not use the battery together with the following batteries, such as
one-shot batteries (alkaline cell) or secondary batteries of different
capacities,brands, and standards or factories. A new battery can not
be used togetherwith an old one.
If the battery sends out abnormal odor, becomes heat, discolours or
twists; or finding any abnormal while using, charging or keeping it,
please remove thebattery from the equipment or the charger and stop
using it.
If the battery leaks or sends out abnormal odor, please remove it from
any open fire immediately, or the leaked electrolyte may fire and the
battery may explode.
Please keep childrenaway from the battery, ifchildren swallow the
battery, pleasesee a doctor immediately.

2. Preparation
(1) Charging theBattery Pack
Plug theAC adapter cable into the
adapter jack locatedon the rear of
the charger; plug the ACadaptor
into power socket of 220V/50Hz,
and the indicator turns green.
Adjust the mountingbracket of the
charger and slidethe battery pack
or the transceiverwith the battery
pack into the charger.
Make sure thebattery pack contacts
are in contactwith the charging
terminals.
The charger LEDturns red and charging
begins. The chargingtime depends on
the battery capacity. Afterfull charging, thecharger LED turns green
(Figure 1).
Caution:
If the batterycharging is full, do not charge it again. Overchargingwill
shorten battery's lifeor damage it.
After purchasing or extended storage (more than 2 months), the
battery cannot reach its maximum capacity for the first time
recharging. After repeatedly charging and discharging the battery two
or three times,the capacity will reach its normal status.
The charger LED turns off when it detects that the battery has been
damaged within thefirst 10 minutes of charging.
The charger LED turns off when it is on the protecting status due to

Adjusting theSquelch Level
The purpose of the squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals
are present.While opening the squelch, you will hear the back-
ground noise from the speaker; while closing the squelch, you will
not hearit.
The selected squelch level will determine how strong the signal
must be for openig and closing the squelch.If the selected squelch
level is too high, you will fail to receive weak signals; if the
selected squelch level is too low, you will open the squelch easily
and hearthe background noise.
Adjusting theSquelch
1)Press [F],[1]
SQL and thecurrent squelch level appear.
2)Rotate the ChannelSelector to select the squelch level from 0 to9.

lights red.
3)Release [PTT]to receive.
When the channel is called, the LCD displays how strong the signal
is, andyou will hear the call. If the signal is weak and you have seta
high squelchlevel, you may fail to hearthe call.
If the CTCSS or DCS signaling has been programmed in your
transceiver, youcan only hear the call from the transmitter who has
the samesignaling. Allthe other calls will not be heard.

Selecting ScanResume Method
Before scanning, it is necessary to decide how to continue scan-
ning afterdetecting a signal.
The transceiver stops scanning when detecting a signal, remains
there for5 seconds, and then continues to scan even if the signal is
still present.
The transceiver stops scanning when detecting a signal until the
signal drops out. There is a 5 seconds delay between signal drop-
out and scan resumption unless the transceiver detects a new
signal duringthis time.
The transceiver stopsscanning when detecting a signal and pauses on
the channel, andremains there even if the signal has disappeared.
Please select the first item in the menu setting to set a scan
method.
Memory Scan
In the memoryfrequency mode or channel mode, memory scanning is
available.

or counterclockwise.
4)To end the scan and return to the stand-by channel, press any key
other than [MONI]. Press and hold [MONI], the transceiver will work
on the currentchannel; release for 5 seconds, continue to scan.
Note:
The basicrequirement for memory scanning: minimum need2 or
more memorychannels which have been set andnot to be locked.
The squelchmust be closed for scan tofunction.
Frequency Scan
In the full-frequencydisplay mode, frequency scanning is available.
1)Press [SCN] tostart scanning.
2)Scan starts atthe frequency currently displayed and steadily incre-
ases according tothe step .
3)Toreverse the scan direction, rotate the Channel Selector clockwise
or counterclockwise.
4)Toend the scan and return to the stand-by channel,press any key
other than [MONI],[PTT].
Press [PTT], the transceiver will work at the current frequency and
exit the scan.
Press [MONI], thetransceiver will work at the current frequency, release
for 5 seconds,continue to scan.
Time-out Timer (TOT)
The purpose ofthe Time-out Timer is to prevent anysingle person from
using a channel for an extended period of time. If the continuously
transmission time overruns the limited time, the transceiver will stop
transmitting and giveout a warning tone.
