Basic Operation

•Turning the radio on/off

Rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise till the radio is turned on� The radio will initially

go through an auto test routine� (All icons on the GTR LCD will appear�) After auto test-

ing is complete, the GTR LCD will show channel name alias and whatever functions

have been activated by your dealer� Rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise to increase

its volume or reverse to reduce� To turn the radio off, rotate the PWR/VOL knob counter-

clockwise until it clicks�

•Channel selection

The GTR portable can be programmed with up to 256 channels� The XU1 series are

factory programmed with On-Site 16 channels as well as 80 Australia UHF CB channels�

Press the or buttons to select the desired channel� The channel name alias is

re-programmable by your dealer. The GT series portable is congured with On-Site 16

channels� On-site 16 allows you select up to 15 standard plus a special safety 16th chan -

nel to choose from� Use the channel selector on the GT radio to choose the desired

channel� On the GTR radio they are labelled: Talk 1, Talk 2, etc� You may choose to have

different users on different channels� For example; in a hotel you may choose channel 1

for Security, channel 2 for Housekeeping, channel 3 for the Front desk staff, etc� On the

rare occasions that you nd someone else on one of the on-site 16 channels, simply se-

lect an alternative for your communications� Should you desire, your dealer can arrange

your own personal licensed radio channel for a small annual charge�

Australian UHF CB Channels

GTR-XU1/2 models are factory supplied in Australia, pre-congured with the national

80 narrowband (12�5kHz) simplex channels as well as citizen band UHF repeater radio

channels� Certain channels have governmental restriction on their use� For further infor-

mation regarding use of these channels refer to www�acma�gov�au or refer inside this

manual’s back cover� The On-site 16 channels are a unique selection of some of these

80 public channels which are congured with tone squelch to minimise interference.

Private Repeater Channels

GTR-XU1 models are also pre-congured for access to a number of private repeater

channels to allow you, at some future time, to purchase and operate your own repeater

base station, should you nd coverage between portable radios is insufcient. They are

labelled RTR1, RTR2, etc� Contact your dealer for further details�

•Receiving

Radios are factory set to work in “Group Mode”� Group mode uses tone squelch (CTC-

SS/DCS) which prevents other users on the same channel from being heard on your

radio� The LED indicator will glow green and the speaker will unmute when the radio re-

ceives a call� Occasionally interference, or another user may be present on your chan-

nel. In such cases your LED may ash amber but no audio will usually be heard.

•Emergency

Press the A key for 3 seconds� The radio will automatically change to channel 16 and

send an emergency alert followed by 10 seconds of transmit audio followed by 10 sec-

onds of receive� This is repeated 3 times� If you receive an Emeregency call you can reset

by pressing any button� Operation is programmable by your dealer�

(scrambler) operation. Voice protection scrambling modies your voice rendering it very

difcult for other who may be listening to your radio trafc such as others sharing the

frequency or those with scanners, to understand what is being said� It should not be as-

sumed that it will prevent someone who really desires to listen to your transmissions from

doing so� If your communications calls for absolute privacy then contact your dealer to

discuss more sophisticated versions of voice encryption� To disable simply turn off radio

and back on again�

•Handsfree Transmit (VOX) (GTR series only)

To activate VOX simply press the C button while turning on the radio� The icon will

display� During VOX mode the PTT button is disabled� The VOX sensitivity is preset but can

•Channel Scan (GTR series only)

The advanced scan functionality of the GTR allows optionally scanning for carrier or

carrier with CTCSS or DCS� Your dealer can program the channels to be scanned into

the scan list� When the dealer sets your CTCSS or DCS tone, then GTR will automatically

scan both carrier and tone, if no tone is set, then GTR will only scan for carrier�

•TOT (Time-Out Timer)

TOT is the function that prevents the radio from locking up a repeater or frequency by

prolonged keying of PTT� The time-out timer limits the amount of time you have to trans-

mit your message� When you reach the time limit which has been programmed by your

dealer, your transmission will be cut off� In order to transmit again, you must release and

push PTT button to reset the timer�

Channel 16 Safety operation

Taking care of your radio & rules to know

Your radio will continue to be a valuable work tool with care and attention�

Some general rules are:

Don’t leave your radio in very hot areas like on the car dashboard in summer�

Keep the battery charged when not in use�

Don’t drop or immerse into water - resulting damage can be expensive�

Plan on replacing your battery about every two years�

(Li-Ion batteries usually can only be re-charged about 400-500 times maximum)

Don’t carry the radio by its antenna�

Don’t use as a hammer or a weapon�

Never yell when transmitting�

(Just talk about 2-3cm from microphone in a normal street level voice)�

If you share a channel, never talk over the top of someone else�

Never joke about safety on the radio, nor use words like “mayday” ippantly.

(ACMA or others may pick it up and mount an emergency response)�

Use of Australian UHF CB unlicensed channels:

Users of radios operating on Australian UHF CB channels including On-Site 16 are required by

Government regulations to adhere to a set of requirements when operating on these public

shared radio channels� You should know:

- the citizen band radio service is licensed in Australia under an ACMA Radio communications

(Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and operation is subject to conditions contained in

those licences�

- in Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall not be operated on UHF emergen-

cy CB channels 5 & 35 (note: this is not channel 5 on a GT Radio)� Furthermore, no voice transmis-

sions are permitted on data (telemetry/telecommand) channels 22 and 23�

- always monitor a channel (or observe a channel-busy indicator) to ensure it is not already be-

ing used, before transmitting�

-To prevent interference and congestion on UHF CB repeater channels avoid operation on

channels 1 to 8, 31 to 38, 41-48 and channels 71 to 78 channels unless long-distance communica-

tion via an available UHF CB repeater facility is specically required.

NOTE: In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication

and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel�

- Australia is currently changing from 40 wide band CB channels to 80 narrowband channels�

You may hear partially distorted audio if talking with users of old wideband CB 40 CH equip-

ment and they may complain that your voice sounds soft� These situations will decrease as UHF

CB equipment changes from the old 5kHz to the new 2�5kHz modulation� If you own wideband

equipment, we suggest you upgrade now to narrow band and recommend to others to do like-

wise to further expedite the changeover process for the benet of all users.

- the list of currently authorized UHF CB channel frequencies can be obtained from the ACMA

website in Australia� - www�acma�gov�au�
