.
Open the rubber cover and then plug you headphones (not included) into
this socket.
PGetting started
NOTE: The handheld transceivers work as a pair and need to
communicate with each other using the same communication channel and
also the same CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System), or DCS
code (Digital Code Squelch ). Also, they will need to be within a 10 km
range in an open field to work, as buildings, forests and areas of high
ground can reduce the range. On a free channel, others who have a PMR
or receiver can follow your conversation.
Power ON the handheld transceiver
To power ON the handheld transceiver press and hold the button
13
for at least 3 seconds. Then an acoustic signal can be heard and the
current set channel will be shown in the display
1
. At this moment, the
handheld transceiver will be in receiver mode.
Power OFF the handheld transceiver
To power OFF the handheld transceiver press and hold the button
13
for
at least 3 seconds. Then an acoustic signal can be heard and the display
1
will turn off.

channel for communication.
Step 1: Press the Menu button
6
once and the Transmission Channel
29
indicator will start flashing.
Step 2: Press the Up button
5
or the Down button
8

The signal tone is also emitted after each broadcast.
PAdvance settings
CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System)/
DCS (Digital Code Squelch)
In order to avoid receiving other signals from nearby, you can apply for
CTCSS or DCS technology by following the information detailed in this
section.
The CTCSS or DCS three-digit code is basically a tone frequency that the
handheld transceivers will use for transmission. Two handheld transceivers
that have been set to the same channel and the same CTCSS or DCS
code can listen to each other. No other transceiver will be heard on the
same channel, unless it is using the same CTCSS or DCS code.
This product supports a total of 38 analogue CTCSS (1 to 38) and 83
digital DCS (39 to 121) codes. Any receiver tuned to the same channel
and using the same CTCSS or DCS code can listen to your message.
