Introduction
Features of this transceiver
144/430 MHz dual-band transceiver equipped with standard C4FM digital
communication modulation
Clear audio and data communication are achieved using the digital modulation
functions
With the DG-ID (Digital Group ID), the Group Monitor (GM) feature enables automati-
cally locating, and communicating with other stations that have the same DG-ID num-
ber within contact range, by utilizing a matching group ID number from 00 to 99
The Digital Personal ID (DP-ID) feature may communicate only by the transceivers
registered the individual ID information that is different for each transceiver included in
the transmission radio wave of C4FM digital communication

Wide-band receives in the 108 MHz to 999 MHz range (air band, information wireless band)
Transmit power 50 watts with cooling fan
The dot matrix LCD is mounted on the front panel
500 memory channels in the A-band and 500 channels in the B-band
Your frequency memory channels and transceiver configuration settings can be backed
up using a micro-SD memory card. The data on the micro-SD memory card can easily
be copied to other transceivers
A choice of scanning functions (including VFO scan, memory scan)
Built-in GPS receiver unit displays your station location and movement information.
Connection to external GPS devices is enabled.
*Refer to the separate “Advance Manual”
Incorporated APRS®function enables data communication of location information and
messages
*Refer to the separate “APRS Instruction Manual”

hands.
There is a risk of chemical burns
occurring when the liquid comes
into contact with the skin or gets into
the eyes. In this case, seek medical
treatment immediately.
WARNING
Do not use voltages other than the
specified power supply voltage.
Doing so may result in fire and electric
shock.
Do not transmit continuously for
long periods of time.
This may cause the temperature of the
main body to rise and result in burns
and failures due to overheating.
Do not dismantle or modify the
device.
This may result in injury, electric shock
and equipment failure.
Do not handle the power plug and
connector etc. with wet hands. Also
do not plug and unplug the power
plug with wet hands.
This may result in injury, liquid leak,
electric shock and equipment failure.
When smoke or strange odors are
emitted from the radio, turn off the
power and disconnect the power
cord from the socket.
This may result in fire, liquid leak,
overheating, damage, ignition and
equipment failure. Please contact our
company amateur customer support or
the retail store where you purchased
the device.
Keep the power plug pins and the
surrounding areas clean at all times.
This may result in fire, liquid leak,
overheating, breakage, ignition etc.
Do not place the device in areas
that may get wet easily (e.g. near a
humidifier).
This may result in fire, electric shock
and equipment failure.
When connecting a DC power cord,
pay due care not to mix up the
positive and negative polarities.
This may result in fire, electric shock
and equipment failure.
Do not use DC power cords other
than the one enclosed or specified.
This may result in fire, electric shock
and equipment failure.
Do not bend, twist, pull, heat
and modify the power cord
and connection cables in an
unreasonable manner.
This may cut or damage the cables
and result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Do not pull the cable when plugging
and unplugging the power cord and
connection cables.
Please hold the plug or connector when
unplugging. If not, this may result in fire,
electric shock and equipment failure.
KWhen transmitting, keep the
antenna at least 1.8 m (VHF) or 2.2 m
(UHF) away from your body.
Do not use modified or damaged
antennas.

7
Before Use
Safety Precautions (make sure to read these)
Do not use the device when the
power cord and connection cables
are damaged, and when the DC
power connector cannot be plugged
in tightly.
Please contact our company amateur
customer support or the retail store
where you purchased the device as this
may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Never cut off the fuse holder of the
DC power cord.
This may cause short-circuiting and
result in ignition and fire.
Do not use fuses other than those
specified.
Doing so may result in fire and
equipment failure.
Do not allow metallic objects such
as wires and water to get inside the
product.
This may result in fire, electric shock
and equipment failure.
Refrain from using headphones and
earphones at a loud volume.
Continuous exposure to loud volumes
may result in hearing impairment.
Disconnect the power cord
and connection cables before
incorporating items sold separately
and replacing the fuse.
This may result in fire, electric shock
and equipment failure.
Follow the instructions given when
installing items sold separately and
replacing the fuse.
This may result in fire, electric shock
and equipment failure.
Do not use the device when the
alarm goes off.
For safety reasons, please pull the
power plug of the DC power equipment
connected to the product out of the AC
socket.
Never touch the antenna as well. This
may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure due to thunder.
CAUTION
Do not place this device near a
heating instrument or in a location
exposed to direct sunlight.
This may result in deformation and
discoloration.
Do not place this device in a location
where there is a lot of dust and
humidity.

equipment failure.
Stay as far away from the antenna as
possible during transmission.
Long-term exposure to electromagnetic
radiation may have a negative effect on
the human body.
Do not wipe the case using thinner
and benzene etc.
Please use a soft and dry piece of cloth
to wipe away the stains on the case.
For safety reasons, switch off the
power and pull out the DC power

connection cables, resulting in fire and
electric shock.
Do not transmit near the television
and radio.
This may result in electromagnetic
interference.
Do not use optional products
other than those specified by our
company.
If not, this may result in equipment
failure.
When using the device in a hybrid
car or fuel-saving car, make sure
to check with the car manufacturer
before using.
The device may not be able to receive
transmissions normally due to the
influence of noises from the electrical
devices (inverters etc.) fitted in the car.
Do not place the device on an
unsteady or sloping surface, or in
a location where there is a lot of
vibration.
The device may fall over or drop,
resulting in fire, injury and equipment
failure.
