WARNING
To use the radio, please connect the antenna to location "B" on the back
panel of the equipment first and then set the antenna SWR
(Standing Wave Ratio) before communicating.
Failure to do so may result in the destruction of the power
amplifier, which is considered abuse and is not covered by
the warranty.
RESET FUNCTION (Resume Factory Default)
This Radio includes a RESET FUNCTION to set all features to
the factory default settings incase some functions are changed
and you do not know how to resume normal settings. The Radio will
resume factory default once this function is activated.
How to Operate:
Step 1: Power off the radio.
Step 2: Press and hold FUNC and SCAN keys at the same time,
followed by powering on the radio.
Step3: Release the two keys when LCD displays "RES".
All former settings will be replaced by Factory Default value when
LCD displays "REND" .
WARNING: All former settings will be replaced by Factory Default
values after operating the RESET FUNCTION.

INSTALLLATON
WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR RADIO
1.
a)You should choose the most appropriate location from a simple
and practical point of view.
b)Your radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.
c) Remember to route wires and cables (e.g.: power, antenna,
accessory cabling) so that they do not in any way interfere with the
driving of vehicles.
d)To install yourequipment, use the supplied bracket (1)and the
self-tapping screws [2] provided(drillingdiameter 5 mm). Take
carenot to damage the vehicle’s electrical system while
drilling the dash board.
e)Do not forget to insert the rubber joints [3] between the radio and
its support as these have a shock-absorbing effect which permits
gentle orientation and tightening of the radio.
f)Choose where to place the microphone hook and remember that
the microphone cordmust stretch to the driver withoutinterfering
with the controls of the vehicle.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
2.
a) Choosing your antenna:
For radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your
dealer will help you with your choice of antenna.b) Antenna Mobile.
b) Mobile antenna:
surface (ground plane) , away from windshield mountings.
-There are two types of antenna: Pre-Set Antenna which
should be used on a good ground plane (e.g. car roof or lid of
the trunk), and Adjustable Antenna which offer a much larger
frequency range and can be used on a smaller ground plane.
For an antennawhichmust be fixed by drilling, you willneed a
good contact between the antenna and the ground plane. To obtain
this, you shouldlightly scratch the surface where the screw and
tightening star are to be placed.

-Connect the antenna to location (B).
c) Fixed antenna:
If it is fixed to a mast, it willperhaps be necessary to mount it,
according to the laws in your area (you should seek
professional advice). All QUAD-5 antennas and accessories are
designed to each radio within the
range.

value.
4. BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE USING
YOUR RADIO FOR THE FIRST TIME (without transmitting or
using the <<Push-To-Talk>> switch on the microphone)
ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (Standing Wave Ratio)
5.
WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your radio for
the first time (and whenever you re-position your antenna). The
adjustment must be carried out in an obstacle-free area.
Adjustment with an external SWR meter
a) To connect the SWR meter
Connect the SWR meter between the radio and the antenna as
close as possible to the radio (use a maximum of 18" cable).
b) To adjust the SWR meter
-Set the radio to channel 20@D band in FM.
-put the switch on the SWR meter to position CAL or FWD.
-Press the <<Push-To-Talk>> switch on the microphone to
transmit.
- Change the switch to position SWR (reading of the SWR level).
The reading on the meter should be as near as possible to 1. If
this is not the case, re-adjust your antenna to obtain a reading
as close as possible to 1.( An SWR reading between 1 and 1.8 is
acceptable, 1.5 or lower is most desirable).
-It will be necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after each
adjustment of the antenna.
HOW TO USE INTERNAL SWR METER
6.
a) Connect the microphone
b) Check the antenna connections
c) Turn the set on by turning the volume knob clockwise
d) Turn the squelch knob to minimum
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level
f) Go to channel 20@D band by using either the UP or DN key on
the microphone or the rotary knob.
Your RADIO is protected against reverse polarity. However, before
switching it on, you are advised to check all the connections. Your
equipment must be supplied with a continuous voltage of 12
volts (A). Today, most cars and trucks are negative ground. You
can check this by making sure that the negative terminal of the
battery is connected either to the engine block or to the chassis. If
this is not the case, you should consult your dealer.
WARNING: Heavy equipment generally have two batteries to
supply a voltage of 24 volts, in which case it will be necessary to
insert a 24/12 volt converter into the electrical circuit. The
following connection steps should be carried out with the power
cable disconnected from the set.
a)Check whether the battery is of 12 volts.
b)Locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red
and – is black). Should it be necessary to lengthen the power
cable, please use the same or a larger guage of cable.
c)It is necessary to connect your radio to a permanent (+) and (-).
We advise you to connect the power cable directly to the battery
(as the connection of the cable to the wiring of the car-radio or
other parts of the electrical circuit may, in some cases, increase
the possibilities of interference).
d)Connect the red wire through a fuse (+) to the positive
terminal of the battery and the black (-) wire to the negative
terminal of the battery.
e)Connect the power cable to your radio.

SWR
When pressing this key, “SWR” icon will appear on the LCD. When

When pressing this key, TOT ON or TOT OFF will display on the
LCD for 2 seconds. Repeat this operation to switch ON/OFF the
function. When ON appears on the LCD, users can press PTT
to transmit. Then, the radio will time the transmitting duration.
Once the duration is beyond the set TOT time (programmable),
the radio will emit sound prompt and stop transmitting and back
to receiving state automatically. This function aims to protect the
radio against power transistor damage from superheating caused by
long transmission or microphone malfunction.

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE
Be sure that power supply, microphone and antenna are
1.
connected to the proper connectors before going to the next
step.
Turn the radio on by tuning VOLUME control clockwise.
2.
Rotate the VOLUME knob to set a comfortable listening level.
3.
SET the MODE switch to the desired mode.
4.
Set the CHANNEL selector switch to select the desired channel.
5.
Set the RF gain control full clockwise to maximum RF gain.
6.
Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the
7.
SQUELCH control clockwise slowly until the noise disappears (no
sound should be present). Leave the control at this setting. The
Squelch is now properly adjusted. The receiver will remain quiet
until a signal is actually received. Do not advance the control too
far, or some of the weaker signals will not be heard.
OPERATING PROCEDURE TO TRANSMIT
Select the desired channel of transmission.
