Part I Getting started
Part one covers the basic setup and use of your hand-held two-way transceiver.
CHAPTER 1 INITIAL SETUP
CHAPTER 2 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RADIO
CHAPTER 3 BASIC USE
Chapter 1.-Initial setup
Qualified technicians shall service this equipment only.
Do not tamper the radio for any reason.
Use only Radioddity radio supplied or approved batteries and chargers.
Do not use any portable radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Turn off your radio prior when entering any area with explosive and flammable materials.
Do not charge your battery in the area with explosive and flammable materials.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, please turn off your radio in any
area where posted notices instruct you to do so
Turn off your radio before boarding an aircraft; any use of a radio must be in accordance with airline
regulations or crew instructions.
Turn off your radio before entering a blasting area.
Do not place a radio over an airbag area or in the airbag deployment area for vehicles with an airbag.
Do not expose the radio under direct sunlight over a long time, nor place it close to the heating source.
When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone 3 to 4
centimeters away from your lips; also make sure the antenna stays at least 2.5 centimeters away
from your body when transmitting.
Safety Information
The following safety precautions should always be observed during operation, service and
repair of this equipment.

What’s in the box
This transceiver comes shipped with below items and accessories in the box:
Dual-band Radio
2200mAh Battery
Dual Band Antenna
Desktop Charger
Adapter
Earpiece Kit
Wrist Strap
Belt Clip
User manual
Assembly
Before the radio is ready for use we need to attach thew antenna and battery pack, as well as charge
the battery .
Antenna
This transceiver is fitted with a Male SMA connector. To mount your antenna (Female SMA connector),
align the two connectors and turn clockwise until it stops.
Notice
Please make sure to install the antenna and battery is charged when start using a radio.
Do not over-tighten your antenna to avoid damage to the outer materials and the connect base.
When installing the antenna, please remember to grip it by the base and screw.
When you choose using an external antenna, make sure its SWR is about 1.5:1 or lower to avoid
damage to the transceiver.
Do not hold the antenna with your hand or wrap the outside of it to avoid interference to the transceiver.
Never transmitting without an antenna.
Belt clip
There are two parallel screws mounted on rear radio body, remove them and thread through the holes
on the belt clip as you screw them back into the radio body.
Do not add any form of glue to fix the screws on the battery clip.
The solvents in the glue may cause damage to the battery casing.

05 06
Battery
Before attaching or removing the battery make sure your radio is turned off by turning the power/volume
knob all the way counter-clockwise.
Installation
Make sure the battery is aligned in parallel with the radio body with the lower edge of the battery about
1-2cm below the edge of the radio.
Once aligned with the guide-rails, slide the battery upward until you hear a click sound to lock the
battery in place.
Removal
To remove the battery, press “PUSH” buckle on the middle top (see Figure 2. 1,”Radioddity GA-510
Radio, overview”), as you slide the battery downward.
Charging and battery maintenance
Charging
Battery should be fully charged before initial use. Optimum battery efficiency will be achieved after the
three full battery charge and discharge cycles.
How to hook up and use the charger correctly:
1. Plug the DC connector of the power adaptor into the charger base.
2. Plug the AC connector of the power adaptor into an AC wall outlet.
3. Place the radio in the charging base.
4. Make sure the radio is making contact with the charger. When the red LED comes on steady, your
radio is charging.
5. The radio is fully charged once the charger’s green status LED goes steady. Please remove the radio
at that time to avoid over-charging.
Table 1.1. Charger LED codes

The charger and battery are fitted with matching notches so that the battery can be charged individually!
That is very practical if you have two batteries, that you can charge one battery while still using your radio.
Radio should be POWERED OFF during charge cycle.

07 08
Battery Maintenance
The battery is provided without power from the factory; please let it charged for at least four to five
hours before you start using your radio.
Use only batteries approved by the original manufacturer.
Never attempt to disassemble your battery pack.
Do not expose your batteries to fire or intense heat
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local recycling regulations.
Prolonging your battery’s life
Only charging batteries in normal room temperatures.
When charging a battery attached to the radio, power off the radio for a faster charge.
Before the charging is completed, do not unplug the power to the charger or remove the battery.
Never charge or use a wet battery.
Batteries wear out over time. When the radio is operated in a shorter time, please consider
purchasing a new battery to replace.
Battery’s performance will be reduced in temperatures below Zero. When working in cold
environments, it is suggested to prepare a spare battery. Preferably inside your jacket or in a similar
location in order to keep the battery warm.
Dust can interfere with the connection between the battery and the radio. If necessary wipe the
contacts with a clean cloth to ensure proper contact with radio and charger.
If your battery has become wet, take it down from the radio, wipe it dry with a towel or soft tissue, and
put it in a plastic bag with a handful of dry rice. Tie the bag up and leave there overnight.
The rice will absorb any remaining moisture in the battery.
This method is only effective against minor splashes (light rain for instance). A soaked radio may
possibly be defective to use.
Storage
In order to prevent damage from over-discharge, the battery must be left with partial power. This radio
uses a lithium-based battery and a 40% charge is recommended. This level minimizes age-related
capacity loss while keeping the battery in operating condition and allowing self-discharge.
