PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERIES
■Charging Prohibitions
To protect you against any property loss, bodily injury or even death, be sure to observe the following safety instructions:
1. Do not charge or replace your battery in a location containing fuels, chemicals, explosive atmospheres and other
flammable or explosive materials.
2. Do not charge your battery that is wet. Please dry it with a soft and clean cloth prior to charge.
3. Do not charge your battery suffering deformation, leakage and overheat.
4. Do not charge your battery with an unauthorized charger.
5. Do not charge your battery in a location where strong radiation is present.
6. Overcharge shall always be prohibited for it may shorten the life of your battery.
■Maintenance Instructions

To help your battery work normally or prolong its life, be sure to observe the following instructions:
1. Accumulated dust on charging connector may affect normal charging. Please use a clean and dry cloth to wipe it on a
regular basis.
2. It is recommended to charge the battery under 5℃~40℃. Violation of the said limit may cause battery life reduction or
even battery leakage.
3. To charge a battery attached to the product, turn it off to ensure a full charge.
4. Do not remove the battery or unplug the power cord during charging to ensure a smooth charging process.
5. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.
6. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight for a long time nor place it close to other heating sources.
7. Do not squeeze and penetrate the battery, nor remove its housing.
■Transportation Instructions
1. Damaged batteries must not be transported.
2. To avoid short circuit, separate the battery from metal pars or from each other if two or more batteries are transported in
one packaging.
3. The radio must be switched off and secured against switch-on, if the battery is attached.
The content of the shipment must be declared in the shipping documents and by a Battery Shipping Label on the packaging.
Contact your hauler for the local regulations and further information.
■Precautions for Disposal
Once the service life of our products (including but not limited to radios and batteries) has ended，they shall not be disposed
as household garbage. Their recycling and disposal shall satisfy your local regulations.
MAINTENANCE
To be safe and sure:
•Never open your radio’s case.
•Never change or replace anything in your radio except the batteries.

■Care and Safety
Your F19 was designed to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.
As for all the electronically devices, we recommend you to follow this few suggestions:
•Do not attempt to open the unit. Non-expert handling of the unit may damage it and/or annul the warranty.
•When using regulated power supply, take notice of power voltage that must be 5V to avoid damages.
• High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the radio in
dusty or dirty areas.
• Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.
• If it appears that the Radio diffuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut off its power immediately and take off the charger
or battery from the Radio.
• Do not transmit without antenna.
• To clean the radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvents because they can harm the body
of the unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery contacts.
■Hazardous Environments
Do not operate the radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the radio near unshielded
electrical blasting caps.
Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your radio OFF to
prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction crews
often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
WARNING! Read this information before using the radio. In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure
to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The
design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.

OPERATIONS
Turning the Radio On and Adjusting the Volume
Press and hold [Power ] to turn the radio on. Increase the speaker volume by pressing [VOL +]. To decrease the volume,
press [VOL -].
Press and hold [Power ] again to turn the radio off.
Choosing a Channel
Your radio has 22 channels and 260 Privacy codes you can use to talk to others. In order to speak to someone, each of you
must be set to the same channel and Privacy code.
With the radio in "Normal" operating mode, press the [CH+]/[CH-] keys to increase or decrease the channel number
displayed.
Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel. Briefly press [Monitor] key to enable the Monitor
feature in order to make sure that the frequency is not busy, and then press the [PTT] key. Release the [PTT] key to receive.
Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is important not to transmit when you are
receiving a communication and use the transmission mode sparingly to allow other users to talk. Transmission consumes a
significant amount of energy and should therefore be used sparingly to prolong the battery life. If you are unable to contact a
station that you have no problems in receiving, the station may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.
Monitor
The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch, in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch
permanently opened. Hold down the [Monitor] key to enable such function.

Scan
This function can only be activated by programming software. To enable the scan function, all 22 channels must be
programmed. When the radio is turned on, press and hold the [CH+] and [CH-]keys at the same time, and scanning will start
automatically. Whenever any signal is detected, the scan stops on a busy channel. If you press and hold PTT, you will send on
the latest busy channel. Press any function key to exit the scanning state.
Flashlight
With F19 turned on, shortly press the [LAMP] key to turn on/off the flashlight at the top side of the radio.
VOX
The VOX feature enables hands free conversations without using PTT: just speak in the direction of the microphone and the
communication will be automatically activated. The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 5 different levels (1…5) through the
programming software:
Level 2 is set by default and has the lowest VOX sensitivity, 5 is the lowest one.
With the programming software you can enable/disable the VOX feature and select the sensitivity levels.
CPS programming path: Edit > VOX > VOX Level
Squelch
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows receiving even weak signals. F19 has 10 different
Squelch levels that can be set by programming software: 0 means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9 you
will have different levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch. By default, the Squelch
level of F19 is set on level 4. Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this case you may not be
able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an excessively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when no
signals are present. Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present. The Time Out timer is settable from 30
sec to 270 sec. only through the programming software. This feature is disabled by default.

CTCSS/DCS tones
CTCSS and DCS tones are similar to access codes and enable the radio to communicate only with the users that are tuned on
the same channel and have set the same code. For each channel, you can set up to 50 CTCSS tones and 210 DCS codes. The
CTCSS/DCS tones are a sort of “access codes” and enable the radio to communicate only with the other users set on the
same frequency and on the same CTCSS/DCS tone. Undesired signals coming from other stations set on the same
frequency but with different CTCSS/DCS tones won’t be received.
