Main Function Description
The functions supported by the walkie-talkie are shown in the table below.
Name Function Description
Squelch level Squelch level adjustment is to adjust the signal strength required when receiving signal. The
adjustment squelch level (0 open to 9 is the highest) is selected by the local environment, and 3
is generally selected.
DCS/CTCSS Used to avoid listening to unrelated calls of the same frequency. Only when the transmitted
DCS/CTCSS matches the received DCS/CTCSS, the radio can listen to the voice through the
speaker.
TOT The timeout timer can limit the single transmission time (the default is 60 seconds) to prevent the
communication parties from occupying channel resources for a long time, and to prevent the
terminal from being damaged due to overheating. After the duration of pressing the [PTT] key
expires, the terminal will automatically terminate the transmission and emit a warning tone. If you
need to talk again, please transmit after the preset time.
Power saving When the walkie-talkie has no receiving or transmitting, no button or knob operation reaches the
power saving time, it will automatically enter the power saving mode.
Low battery When the battery power is low, it can be charged in time through the sound reminder. When the
warning battery is too low, transmission will be prohibited.
Emergency An emergency alert is when you encounter an emergency, you can ask your companion or the
alert control center for help.
SCAN After the scan is turned on, the terminal will scan according to the scan list. When it finds activity
on a certain channel, it will stay on the channel to listen, so as to understand the current activity
status of the relevant group members.
Busy channel Channel busy lock can prevent interference from other terminals on the same channel during
lock transmission. When other terminals occupy the current channel, press and hold the [PTT] key,
and the terminal will emit a "beep" tone, indicating that it cannot be transmitted. If the current
channel is free, press and hold the [PTT] key to start transmission.
Power level The power level refers to the transmit power level of the walkie-talkie, which can be set to high
power or low power. High power can increase the signal strength of the current transmitted voice
of the terminal, and it can also communicate with the remote terminal. Low power can save power.
MONI Monitoring is a listening method used to receive more signals or weak signals, which helps to
distinguish and listen to the faint sounds in the speakers.
Channel It is used to indicate the sequence of the current channel.
broadcast
VOX After turning on the voice control, when the voice detected by the microphone meets the
transmission conditions, the terminal will automatically transmit the voice, and you can speak
directly without pressing the [PTT] key. The voice control gain is used to control the sensitivity of
the microphone's voice control emission, which is configured by the dealer.
VOX
press the [PTT] key to call, then this function can be enabled. Operation method:
1) In the standby mode, press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "menu setting", enter the function menu setting;
2) Press [▲] or [▼] key to select 4 menu number forward or backward; or directly enter the number 4 to enter 4
menu number;
3) Press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "Voice-activated emission", press the [▲] or [▼] key, select 1~10 (the
larger the value, the higher the sensitivity; such as selecting 3)
4) Press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "OK", save and return to the previous menu.
5) Repeat the above operation, select OFF to turn off the voice-activated transmission function.
After turning on the voice-activated transmission function, speak into the microphone, and the voice can be
sent out; stop speaking, and the transmission will also stop. You can select the VOX sensitivity level according to
the quietness of the environment. If the environment noise is too large, long emission will occur after the VOX
function is activated.
7

If the dual-standby is enabled on this machine, the VOX function is turned off by default, and the VOX
function cannot be activated.
Keyboard Lock function
The keyboard lock function disables the number keys to prevent you from activating a function by mistake. This
radio can be set to automatic keyboard lock function, the operation is as follows:
1) In the standby mode, press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "menu setting", enter the function menu setting;
2) Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select the 23 menu number forward or backward; or directly enter the numbers 2
and 3 to enter the 23 menu number;
3) Press [MENU] key, press [▲] or [▼] key to select ON;
4) Press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "OK", save and return to the previous menu. The automatic keyboard
lock function is activated.
5) Repeat the above operation, select OFF to turn off the automatic keyboard lock function, and select manual
keyboard lock. The operation is as follows:
①In the standby state, long press the 《#》key for more than 2s, the keyboard lock function is activated (voice
prompt "keyboard lock");
②Long press the 《#》key repeatedly for more than 2s, the keyboard lock function is closed (voice prompt
"keyboard unlock").
After the automatic keyboard lock function is turned on, when it is not locked, the numeric keyboard is
automatically locked without any keyboard operation for 10 seconds.
Dual Standby
When in dual standby mode, the two-way radio can receive the frequency set by the A or B channel. The
operation is as follows:
1) In the standby mode, press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "menu setting", enter the function menu setting;
2) Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select the 7 menu number forward or backward; or directly enter the number 7 to
enter the 7 menu number;
3) Press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "Dual Standby", press [▲] or [▼] key, select ON
4) Press the [MENU] key, the voice prompt "OK", save and return to the previous menu. The dual-frequency
waiting function is turned on.
Repeat the above operation and select OFF to turn off the dual-frequency standby function. In the menu
mode, the dual-frequency standby is temporarily turned off, and recover after exiting.
Since the dual-standby mode is in the main and sub-channel scanning state, in the dual-standby mode,
even if the power saving function of the unit is turned on, its power saving function is still invalid, and the standby
time of the walkie-talkie will be shortened.
CTCSS/ DCS
CTCSS/ DCS is mainly used to avoid listening to unrelated calls on the same frequency. If CTCSS/DCS is set,
within the effective communication range, only calls with the same CTCSS/DCS set in the channel can be
received; but if CTCSS/DCS signaling is not set, you can listen to the effective communication range All calls on
the same channel.
Side Tone Switch
Key side tone: The radio emits key side tone when sending key side tone
ID code side tone: When sending the ID code, the radio will emit the ID code side tone
Button side tone + ID code side tone: When sending button side tone and ID code side tone, the radio emits the
corresponding sound

•Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the
batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily
injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
Long transmission
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
• Use careful with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
Note: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable
at first and can have a cumulative effect.
