Porta Phone Scrambler UHF SC1000 User manual

Introduction
Each Scrambler Plus is factory programmed to provide discreet private two-way voice contact. All
outgoing transmissions are digitally encrypted and scrambled to prevent eavesdropping. In addition,
CTCSS frequency guard protects the receive circuit by blocking outside interference. Combined, these
features ensure that communications remain completely private.
Features
Operation
1. Slide battery onto the back of the transceiver until the latch at the bottom clicks, then follow the
charging procedure before operation.
2. The Power switch / volume control knob (B) turns the transceiver on and off and also sets the
incoming sound level. Turn the power switch / volume control clockwise to turn the transceiver on.
3. Set the operating channel via the Channel Selector (A). Rotate the Channel Knob
setting it to the desired channel. Channel numbers are printed on the radio. The radio features an
audible channel announcement and will tell the user the channel selected.
4. Incoming messages are confirmed by green flashing light on LED indicator.
Using Your Headsets
Our headsets include special noise cancelling microphones. For optimum performance adjust
microphone boom so the element is directly in front of, and approximately 1 - 2” from the user’s mouth.
Battery Charging
Each Scrambler radio is supplied with a rechargeable Lithium Battery that will operate
8 - 10 hours.
Charging Procedure:
1. Plug the AC adapter cable into the jack located on the rear of desktop
charger base.
2. Slide the transceiver and battery pack into the charger.
3. Plug adapter into AC outlet.
4. Make sure the battery pack contacts are touching the terminals.
5. LED indications: RED: charging, GREEN: full charge.
6. Remove the transceiver from charging base when charging is
completed (charging time varies; up to 3 hrs for completely dead battery).
Lithium Batteries do not develop a memory, and do not need to be drained
after use.
LED indicators:
RED: Charging
GREEN: Full Charge
Once the battery is fully charged, and the LED turns green, the battery will continue to
receive a trickle charge - even if left in the charging base overnight. This will not harm
the battery.

Safety
1. Do not transmit more than 50% of time. It is important as the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
3. Radio frequency signals transmitted may cause interference to hearing aids.
4. Turn off the radio when near medical equipment.
5. This product should not be used by people with pacemakers.
6. Do not use the radio when driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
7. Do not use the radio when on board aircraft.
8. Do not hold the antenna when transmitting.
9. Do not use the radio when the antenna has damaged.
10. Turn off the radio and remove the batteries if you are not going to use it for a long time.
Two-way Radio Operation
The device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the supplied belt-clip. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements, body-worn operations are restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For hand-held operation, the radio should
be held at least 1 inch (2.5cm) from the user’s face. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the
FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.
