Setting up the TEAM TeCom-508
Removing and mounting of the belt clip
To remove the belt clip, turn the rear panel
toward you. The latch of the belt clip is located
near the headset socket SP./MIC ( 16 ). Pull the
latch with your fingernail towards you and hold
it. Then, by pulling the belt clip towards the top
of the antenna, remove the belt clip ( 17 ).
TeCom-508_Manual 10.07.2003 15:05 Uhr Seite 16

To insert the belt clip, push the notch of the clip into the notch on
the rear panel of the unit. Then push the clip towards the unit’s
bottom side until the belt clip latches.
Inserting the batteries
To insert the batteries, turn the rear panel
toward you and remove the belt clip if neces-
sary. The battery compartment lid ( 8 ) is locat-
ed right below the type plate. Push down the
latch of the lid and pull it toward you.
Now insert 4 AAA ( = Micro ) alkaline batteries or
the optional accu-pack of the Twin Power Pack 508 into the bat-
tery compartment according to the indicated polarity signs.
To close the battery compartment ( 8 ), place the guide pins, locat-
ed at the bottom of the battery compartment lid, into their holes.
Next, push the latch against the unit until it snaps in.
Operation of the TEAM TeCom-508
1) To Turn the Unit On/Off
To turn on the unit, depress the On/Off key ( 14 ) for about 1
or 2 seconds. Two short receipt tones can be heard from the
speaker ( 7 ). During the short initial self-test, which takes approx-
imately 1 second, all symbols can be seen on the display. Now
the unit is in receive mode.
To switch off the unit, depress the On/Off key ( 14 ) for about
1 or 2 seconds. A long tone can be heard and all symbols disap-
pear from the display. The last settings remain in memory.
2) Battery level indicator
The battery symbol in the lower left corner of the display indicates
the battery level. As long as both bars are visible inside the icon,
the batteries are sufficiently charged. If the supply voltage drops
below 4.4 V, the left bar disappears. If the supply voltage drops
below 4.2 V, the other bar disappears also, and the battery symbol
English starts blinking and a melody can be heard every 14 seconds. That
means that you have to change or charge the batteries. The unit
will automatically shut off if the supply voltage drops below 3.8 V.
The TeCom-508 is equipped with a battery-saving-function. If there
is no signal on the actual channel for at least 6 seconds, and if no
key is pressed during this period, the battery-saving-function starts
automatically. While this function is active, the unit checks the
actual channel for incoming signals in regular intervals. The cur-
rent consumption in the power down mode drops down to 13 mA.
If you don’t use the unit it is better to switch it off. Should you not
use the unit for a longer period of time, we recommend you to
remove the batteries.
3) Volume level adjustment
The bar meter in the lower right corner of the display shows the
current volume level. Press the up key ▲( 3 ) to increase the vol-
ume level adjustment for one step. Press the down key ▼( 4 ) to
decrease the volume level adjustment for one step. Pressing the
keys for one second will make the volume level adjustment change
quickly. The pitch of the confirmation tone depends on the current
volume level. The limits of the volume range are indicated by two
high signal tones.
4) Disabling the noise suppression
The receiver is equipped with a circuit ( squelch ) that mutes the
receiver if there is no station available on the actual channel to
reduce the noise. If a signal is received, the squelch immediately
turns on the speaker, so you can hear the station. In case the
squelch lets signals pass, the LED turns green and the symbol
BUSY, to the right of the battery symbol, appears and indicates
that the channel is occupied. The squelch function can be dis-
abled, with the monitor function, to hear weak stations that are nor-
mally suppressed by the squelch. To turn off the noise suppres-
sion, press the monitor key M( 10 ). The symbol ( = BUSY ) will
appear in the display. If there is no station on the actual channel,
English
18 19
TeCom-508_Manual 10.07.2003 15:05 Uhr Seite 18

you hear a noise in the speaker. To reactivate the squelch press
the monitor key M( 10 ) again. If there is no station on the actual
channel, the symbol ( = BUSY ) disappears from the display.
5) Voice transmission
Radio contact is only possible with stations that work on the same
channel. Before transmitting, listen whether the actual channel is
free. Do not send signals on occupied channels. To transmit
depress and hold the PTT key ( 12 ). During transmission, the TX
control lamp ( 15 ) is red and all keys are disabled, except for the
ON/OFF key. The sensitivity of the built-in microphone ( 9 ) is set
for speaking at a distance of 2 - 3 inches. Speaking too loud will
cause distortions and makes the signal difficult to understand. On
completion of the transmission release the PTT key and the set
will return to receive mode.
6) Call tone transmission
By pressing the call tone key C ( 5 ), you can transmit a call sig-
nal. The call signal will be transmitted for three seconds and is
also audible in the internal speaker ( 7 ). All stations in the neigh-
bourhood that are on the same channel will hear it. Once the call
tone is finished, the unit will switch back to receive mode.
7) LCD window illumination
By pressing the enter key ( 6 ), the backlight of the LC display
is turned on for four seconds. The LCD backlight will also be
switched on if the menu key ( 11 ) is pressed.
8) Key lock function
The key lock function disables all keys except for the PTT key, the
call tone key and the ON/OFF key. To enable the key lock func-
tion, depress the enter key ( 6 ) for 2 seconds until the key lock
symbol appears in the display to the right of the the channel num-
ber, accompaned by a confirmation tone. To deactivate the key lock,
English depress the enter key ( 6 ) again for 2 seconds until the key-
lock symbol disappears.
9) Channel selection
The TeCom-508 has 8 channels. The following instructions show
how to select a channel:
Depress the menu key ( 11 ) one time, until the number of the
actual channel flashes in the LCD window. The channel selection
must be done as long as the channel number is still flashing, oth-
erwise the unit returns to the normal mode without changing the
channel. Press the up key ▲( 3 ) to increase the channel num-
ber by one, and press the down key ▼( 4 ) to decrease the chan-
nel number by one. Pressing the keys for one second will make
the channel number change quickly. The pitch of the confirmation
tones depends on the current channel number. The channels step
in a ring like system. To terminate the channel selection and to
return to the normal receiving mode, press the enter key ( 6 ).
No channel selection is possible in key lock mode.
10) CTCSS
CTCSS stands for continuous tone coded squelch system and is
used to suppress unwanted signals on the actual channel. With
CTCSS a tone in the frequency range of 67 – 250 Hz with a low
level is added to the signal. With CTCSS, all sent signals contain
a CTCSS code and all incoming signals will be filtered for this set
CTCSS code, i.e. only signals with the selected CTCSS code will
be received.
TeCom-508 has 38 different CTCSS codes available. When using
the code number 0, the CTCSS function is disabled. With TeCom-
508 it is possible to set for each channel individual CTCSS codes.
To activate the CTCSS function press the menu key ( 11 )
twice. The CTCSS number in the upper right corner of the display
will start blinking. To set the CTCSS code use the up- and down
keys ( 3 & 4 ). To confirm your selection press :
English
20 21
TeCom-508_Manual 10.07.2003 15:05 Uhr Seite 20

a) the enter key ( 6 ),
b) the PTT key ( 12 ),
c) the call tone key C( 5 ), or
d) the menu key ( 11 ).
13) VOX function
While the VOX function is active, the unit switches automatically
to transmit mode when the sound level at the microphone ( 9 ) is
above a certain threshold. If the volume level at the microphone
( 9 ) remains below this threshold for a certain time, which is
called the VOX delay time, the radio switches back to receive
mode. Thus, you can communicate without having a hand at the
unit.
If the squelch is open because of a received signal the VOX func-
tion is disabled. The following instructions show how to activate
the VOX function and how to work with it:
Depress the menu key ( 11 ) three times until the VOX symbol
( = VOX ) flashes in the LCD. Now, the VOX sensitivity needs to
be set. To increase or decrease the VOX sensitivity, use the up-
and down-keys ▲ ( 3 ) and ▼ ( 4 ).
The bar meter in the lower right corner of the display, which nor-
mally indicates the volume level, shows the current VOX sensitiv-
ity. The pitch of the confirmation tone does not depend on the cur-
rent VOX sensitivity.At the ends of the adjustment range two high
signal tones are audible. If the VOX sensitivity is set to the lowest
possible value, so that no bar is visible, the VOX function is deac-
tivated.
To return to the normal receiving mode, press :
a) the enter key ( 6 ) once,
b) the PTT key ( 12 ) once, or
c) the menu key ( 11 ) twice.
a) the enter key ( 6 )
b) the call tone key C( 5 ), or
c) press the menu key ( 11 ) another three times.
The table of the CTCSS frequencies can be found on page 15.
11) Channel scan function:
If the channel scan function is activated, the unit runs through all
channels, until it has found an occupied one. In this case, the
squelch opens, and the unit stops on that channel. To start the
channel scan function press the scan key S ( 13 ). The scan sym-
bol (= SCAN ) will appear on the bottom of the display. The scan-
ning stops on every occupied channel. It continous searching 4
seconds after the signal has dropped below the squelch thresh-
old.
To deactivate the scan function and to stay on the actual channel,
press the :
a) scan key S( 13 )
b) enter key ( 6 ).
12) Dual watch function
This function allows you to monitor two channels at a time. The
following instructions show how to activate the dual watch func-
tion:
First, select the first survey channel. Then, press the menu key 
( 11 ) four times until the dual watch symbol ( = DW ) starts blink-
ing in the LCD. Now, select the second channel with the keys ▲
( 3 ) or ▼ ( 4 ). The dual watch symbol ( = DW ) appears con-
stantly and the receiver switches twice per second between the
two selected channels. If one of the two selected channels
receives a signal, the receiver remains on that channel until the
signal ends, before it goes back to switching back and forth
between the selected channels.
To deactivate the dual watch function, press :

14) Charging the TeCom-508 with the double-desktop charger
Twin Power 508
The optional accessory pack Twin Power Pack 508 has to be pur-
chased separately. It is not included in the set. It contains the
desktop charger Twin Power 508, the adapter and 2 accu-packs.
Follow the following steps when using the charger :
Make sure the set is turned off when charging the batteries. The
desktop charger Twin Power 508 can only be used with the sup-
plied accu-pack. It is not possible to use the charger with any
usual kind of rechargeable batteries. New accu-packs need to be
charged for 14 hour prior to the first use. After that, it takes
approximately 6 hours to fully recharge empty batteries.
Insert the accu-pack into the TeCom-508. Connect the adapter
with an outlet ( 220 V / 50 Hz ) and the charger’s power jack.
Insert the set properly into the charger. Make sure that the con-
tacts of the charger touch the contacts of the set, positioned at the
lid of the battery compartment. The LED of the corresponding
charging slot will light red if the set is positioned properly.
During the charging process, no symbols will be seen in the dis-
play of the TeCom-508. Also, the end of the charging process is
not indicated.
Safety
The unit radiates RF energy in transmitting mode. To reduce the
exposure to the lowest possible value and to benefit the most of
the set’s features, keep the following in mind :
In transmission mode, keep the unit in a vertical position at a dis-
tance of 2 to 3 inches away from your face. Keep the antenna at
a distance of at least 1 inch away from your head and your body.
Service
The condition of the batteries must be tested from time to time.
Empty batteries should be removed immediately from the set.
English They can leak and damage the device. Always replace the bat-
teries as a complete set.
Empty batteries do not belong into the waste bin, but must be
returned to a suitable collecting depot or to a special dealer, for
the sake of the environment.
There are no user-adjustable or user-serviceable parts inside the
radio. The casing must not be opened. Independent repairs or
adjustments must not be carried out, since each modification or
unauthorized intervention will immediately cancel all and any
guarantee or repair claims, they are also likely to result in non-
conformity to ETS regulations which will render the set to become
illegal.
In the event a defect becoming apparent, contact a properly
equipped and authorised TEAM dealer or TEAM directly
