The Microphone Hanger comes in two parts. How and where you mount
the MIC hanger will determine which parts to use.
Conventional Mounting with Screws
Use the front part of the MIC Hanger only.
Locateasuitablemountingpositionandmarkanddrilltwo3mmholes.
Fix the MIC Hanger into place with screws.
Conventional Mounting with Double Sided Tape
(not supplied)
High quality Double-Sided tape can be found at good retail stores.
Secure the front and back pieces of the MIC Hanger using the supplied
binding screws.
Locate a suitable mounting position.
Apply high quality Double-Sided tape
ontotheatareaoftheMIC

Turning on the Power
Press and hold the Power/Channel Selector.
Operation
NOTE
Low-Voltage/High-Voltage Alert
Ifthepowersupplyvoltageexceeds18VDC,analerttone
sounds and dc HIashesfor5seconds.Thepowersource
mustnotexceed25VDCotherwisepermanentdamage
may occur to your radio, which may not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Iftheinputvoltagefallsbelow10VDC,dc Loashesfor5
seconds. The power turns off automatically if voltage falls
below8.5VDC.
Switch your UH8010S/UH8020S OFF and disconnect it from
the power source, before locating the cause of the power
supply problem.
Setting the Squelch Level
Press the Power/Channel Selector momentarily. SqL shows and the
currentsquelchlevelwillash.
Turn the Channel Selector to select the desired squelch level.
UNIDEN UH8010S/UH8020S

13
Operation
Think of the squelch control as a
gate. If you increase the squelch level
to maximum it raises the ‘Squelch
gate’ so only the strongest signals get
through.
If you decrease the squelch level to
minimum it lowers the ‘Squelch Gate’
to the extent that weak signals can
get through.
If unwanted weak and noisy signals
are getting through increase the
squelch level (‘Squelch Gate’) to a
medium level. Now only medium
and strong signals get through.

the SQUELCH control. (see p.12 for “Selecting a Channel”).

Operation
Recalling the Instant Channel
Momentarily press [INST] on the microphone at any time to return to the
Instant Channel. Press [INST] again to return to the previous channel.
Transmitting
The UHF CB Radio uses UHF-CB Channels.
NOTE
For your reference a list of the available channels,
corresponding frequencies and guidelines for their use and
selectionisprintedonpage23.ForAustralia,Channels05
and35arereservedforEmergencyCalls.
Select the desired channel. Press the microphone’s PTT button and
speaknormallyintothemicrophone.Holditapprox.7cmfromyourmouth.
Release the [PTT] button to end the transmission and listen for a reply.
Call Function
Press [CALL] on the microphone. A three second ringing tone will
betransmitted.Youmayselectfrom5typesoftones(seep.18for
“Selecting the Call tone”).
NOTE
Current regulations require calling tones to be restricted to
one transmission per minute. If a second transmission is
attempted within one minute then an error tone will sound.
Using Repeater Channels
UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters
will extend the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused
by solid obstructions. In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on
one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency.
If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the
probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall
buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios.
UHF CB TransceiverUNIDEN UH8010S/UH8020S

16 UHF CB Transceiver
Operation
Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station.
Operation with the aid of a Repeater Repeater Station (Duplex).
The signal coming from your radio is received by the Repeater Station
and the re-transmitted at the same time on another channel. This
operation is called “Duplexing”.
For example,
CH01onDuplexModewillReceiveonCH01butTransmitonCH31
CH02onDuplexModewillReceiveonCH02butTransmitonCH32
etc...
If you transmit on CH01 Duplex mode, you are actually transmitting
on CH31 the repeater station down-converts your signal and
retransmits on CH01.
UNIDEN UH8010S/UH8020S

Operation
Operating the UHF CB Radio in Duplex Mode
For this example we are adopting CH01 as the channel being used in
your area for repeater use.
1. Press 2times.Theduplexsettingashes.
2. Turn the Channel Selector or press / to change the setting
between simplex and duplex (“ r ” for repeater channels 01 - 08 or “ n “
for repeater channels 41 - 48).
3.Press to store the setting.
4. Press and hold to save & exit the menu mode. Only channels
01 - 08 and 41 - 48 are available for Duplex.
NOTE
Check with your local Retailer for information on available
repeaters.
UHF CB TransceiverUNIDEN UH8010S/UH8020S

Operation
Scanning
The Scan feature allows you to search for active channels automatically.
Thereare3scanningmodes;
Open Scan (OS),
Group Scan (GS) and
Master Scan (M.SCN) (a special case of Group Scan).
During SCAN the UH8010S/UH8020S only checks channels or
frequencies that are in the SCAN Memory, which are indicated by the
M(memory)icon(●).TheUH8010S/UH8020SmaintainstwoSCAN
Memories; one for Open Scan (OS) mode and the other for Group Scan
(GSmode,togiveyouexibilityandallowyoutousetheradiomore
effectively.
NOTE
Group Scan and Master Scan modes share the same
SCAN Memory.
1. Press and scanning starts. The Sicon appears
The scan direction can be changed at any time by rotating
the channel selector left or right.
2. To deactivate SCAN, press .
18 UHF CB TransceiverUNIDEN UH8010S/UH8020S

Operation
Add/Remove Channels from SCAN Memory
Select which Scanning Mode you wish to use; OS or GS.
Select the channel you want to store.
Press and hold to store. The icon appears and a short tone is
heard. To remove the channel from SCAN memory, press and hold
once more. The icon disappears.
MASTER SCAN Mode
MASTER SCAN is the default scan mode and is enabled to allow con-
tinual communication across congested channels.
Master Scan scans channels stored into GS Memory and only opens the
squelch for signals with the correct subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).
To achieve this, all radios in your group must have the same channels
in GS memory (group channels) and use the same Subcode (CTCSS or
DCS tone).
By scanning only group channels, radios in the network will be able
to detect and receive group transmissions- continual communication
without interruption.
When transmitting in this mode, the radio switches to an unused group
channel if it detects another signal with no code, or the wrong code, on
the channel last used by the group.
In this way, all group users will be able to have continual communication
to or from other users.
19 UHF CB TransceiverUNIDEN UH8010S/UH8020S

CH09-CH20 are stored into GS Memory and CTCSS01 is set for
MASTER SCAN Subcode by default. The GS memory can be changed,
channel by channel, if desired
- but for Master Scan to work effectively each radio in the group must
have the same channels in its GS memory.
To add/remove channels from GS SCAN Memory, refer the section
above.
NOTE
RXonlyChannels(CH22,CH23,CH61,CH62andCH63)
will not be included in MASTER SCAN Mode even though
they are stored in the GS Memory. Also, the channels which
have the Duplex Setting will not be included in MASTER
SCAN Mode.
