User Safety, Training, and General Information
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND
EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR
QUANTUN PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your Quantun two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national
and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and
ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty
cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used for occupational use only. In terms
of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio
radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle
(5% talk-5% listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC
occupational RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.
Your Quantun two-way radio complies with the following of RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
zUnited States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations;
47CFR part 2 sub-part J
zAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
zInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
zInternational Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
zMinistry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3KHz to 300GHz,
1999

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment RF energy exposure limits in the above standards and guidelines, users
should transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere to the following
procedures:
Transmit and Receive
To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT button.
Hand-held radio operation
Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm)
away from the lips.
Body-worn operation
zAlways place the radio in a Quantun approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this product. Use of non-Quantun-approved accessories may exceed
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
zIf you do not use a Quantun approved body-worn accessory and are not using the
radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the
radio are kept one inch (2.5 cm) from the body when transmitting.
Antennas & Batteries
zUse only Quantun approved, supplied antenna or Quantun approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
radio and may violate FCC regulations.
zUse only Quantun approved, supplied batteries or Quantun approved replacement
batteries. Use of non-Quantun-approved batteries may exceed FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

Battery Information
Charging Notice
The battery is not charged at the factory, which can not reach its full
capacity for the first charging.After being charged and discharged
two or three times,it will get optimum.When the battery power is low,
it either needs to be charged or replaced by a new one.
Notices:
Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into the fire.
In order that the battery attached to the radio is fully charged, the
radio needs to be turned off.
Do not leave the battery or the radio with battery into the charger
if it needs not to be charged.Otherwise,the battery life will be
shortened.
Do not charge the battery whose power is high.Overcharging will
shorten the battery life.
Store the battery in a place about room temperature (25 ) if
possible.Charging the battery in temperature less than 10 may
cause electrolyte leakage and damage the battery.
Charging the battery in temperatures greater than 35 will affect
work of the battery and further affect the use of the radio.

Basic Operation
Squelch Tail Elimination
The function will minimize the annoying audio outputs that occur at
the receiver on completion of a transmission to relieve the fatigue of
you ears.
Time-Out-Timer(TOT)
The Time-Out-Timer(TOT) is used to prevent someone from using
the same channel for a long time and to prevent the radio from
damage due to continuous transmission.
If the transmission exceeds the preset time (it's set by your dealer),
transmission will be inhibited and a beep tone will sound.To stop the
beep tone, release the [PTT] key .Press the [PTT] key again to
resume transmitting.
Features
TOT Reset Time
When this feature is activated,TOT won't reset until the preset
TOT Reset Time (it's set by your dealer) expires,even if you h
ave released the [PTT] key.
VOX Operation
Conecting a VOX Headset
1. Turn off your radio
2. Connecting the VOX accessory to your radio and turn the radio on.
Note:
1. Before you use VOX operation, it need to be enabled by PC
programming software.
2. Pressing the PTT button disables VOX.
Channel Annunciation
When you rotate the channel selector, the current channel number
will be heard.
Key function programmable
Your dealer may program the Function Key(long or short press)
with one of the following auxiliary functions respectively.
Monitor/Monitor monentary/Squelch off/Squelch off Monentary
/Channel Lock/Power Level/Battery Indicator/Scan/VOX

Monitor
This feature is enabled/disabled by your dealer.In receive mode,
press the preprogrammed MONI key to monitor activities on the
current channel .This operation is especially useful for adjusting
volume level or receiving a weak signal.The LED indicator glows
green in monitor mode.
Busy Channel Lockout
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature is enabled by your dealer,
it will prevent you from talking on a channel that is already in
use.When you press the [PTT] key , the radio will sound a beep
tone and will not transmit. Release the [PTT] key to stop the
beep tone. Wait until the channel is not in use before you again
try to transmit.
Wired Clone
Cloning enables duplication of radios in the field via a simple
interface cable,without the use of a PC or a special equipment.
PC Programming
Function settings and frequencies can be customized via
programming software.
Selectable Squelch Level(0-9)
The purpose of squelch is to mute audio output from the
speaker when no signals are present.The higher the squelch
level selected,the stronger the signals must be to receive.The
appropriate squelch level depends on ambient RF noise con
ditions.
Priority Channel Scan
Any programmed channel may be set as the priority channel.The
radio will check the priority channel periodically while stopping
on a non-priority channel.When there is any activity on the priority
channel,the radio will automatically switch to the priority channel
for communications.
Programmable 12.5kHz/25kHz Channel Spacing
The feature enables flexibility an easy migration of channel spacing
requirements when the need arises,with no need to buy new radios.
DTMF ANI
This feature is enabled /disabled by your dealer.DEMF ANI is encoded
by PTT ID.Each radio is assigned with one ANI code consisting of
BOT ID (Beginning of Transmission) and EOT ID(End of Transmission).
Each channel can be programmed by PC programming software to
transmit/not transmit ANI code in transmitting mode.
CTCSS/DCS Signalling
CTCSS/DCS may have been programmed on a channel to ignore
unwanted calls from other parties on the same channel.When
CTCSS/DCS signalling is set,user will receive the calls on the same
channel only when the received signals contain the matching
CTCSS/DCS code;otherwise,the user receives all the calls on the
same channel within communication range.
The dealer preset CTCSS/DCS signalling on all or just certain channels.
NOTE:Although using CTCSS/DCS enables you to avoid hearing
Unwanted calls,it does not mean your calls will be private.
VOX
When hands-free operation is desired, your radio can be activated
by voice alone using the VOX feature when you speak through an
accessory that is connected to your radio.
High/low power
High transmit power optimizes range coverage while low transmit
power conserves battery consumption, all at the user's control.

Battery Save
The Battery Save feature is automatically activated once no activity
on the channel and no operation performed for 10 seconds, for
extended operation time. When a signal is received or an operation
is performed, the Battery Save feature is automatically deactivated.
Low battery Alert
When the battery voltage goes below a preset value, the LED indicator
Will flash red and the alert tone sound and then the radio stops transmitting.
This feature is designed to automatically reminds you of recharging
or replace the battery.
