FCC INFORMATION TO USERS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital
devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Nautic Devices Inc.
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FOR CLASS B – UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operations.
Don’t hold Yapalong too close to your head when in use.

GET STARTED
1. Turn the Yapalong5000-CE unit on by holding down Power button for
2 seconds until Red Status LED turns on.
2. If the Amber Status LED blinks every 2 or 5 seconds or there is no
LED light at all, the battery needs to be charged.
3. If Red Status LED remains on with high intensity, it means it cannot
detect other group unit due to various reasons:
Ɣno group unit powered on;
Ɣgroup unit out of range;
Ɣunit in different group
(Refer to BINDING PROCEDURE
to do binding).
4. If Red Status LED remains on
with normal intensity, it means it
has detected group unit(s). Plug in
the headset as shown. The unit is
now ready to be used with other
powered-on group units.
5. To adjust the sound volume, click UP or DOWN button, until desired
volume is reached.
6. To adjust the microphone sensitivity, click UP or DOWN button while
holding down MIC SENSITIVITY button, until desired sensitivity is
reached. Now Yapalongs let every member in the group talk freely and
listen at the same time.
POWER UP A GROUP
Power on one of the radios at the location where the radios to be used. Wait
until the red light of the radio becomes solid, then power on the rest radios.
Power on all the radios at the place where they will be used. It is not
recommended to power on all the radios at one location (e.g., locker
room), then use them at another (e.g., football field). This is needed because
the radios auto scan the surroundings for the cleanest channel upon being
powered on.

HOW TO MAXIMIZE RANGE
CLOSE BODY BLOCKING
1. placing bodies in between
antennas causes communication

ANTENNA TOUCHING BODY
2. Human body is mainly water so it
absorbs RF wave. Water absorbs
RF (radio frequency) wave.

BINDING PROCEDURE
Note:
Binding needs to be done under minimum radio interference environment,
which means no cellphone, no computer, no Bluetooth, and no electrical
control panel nearby.
After binding, there is NO need to do binding again next time for
the same group, until new radio(s) being added to the group.
A. BINDING PROCEDURE FOR REGULAR UNITS
1. Power down all units with good batteries installed.
2. Power up 1st unit until RED LED is solid on. Hold down UP and DOWN
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until GREEN and AMBER LEDs begin to
flash alternatively. Release buttons for 5 or more seconds, both LEDs stop
blinking and all 3 LEDs remain solid on.
3. Power up 2nd unit until RED LED is solid on. Hold down UP and DOWN
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until GREEN and AMBER LEDs begin to
flash alternatively. Release buttons for 5 or more seconds, both LEDs stop
blinking and only RED and GREEN remain solid on. If AMBER is also on,
restart Binding from Step1.
4. Repeat Step3 for the rest units until the binding for all the units is done. If in
doubt, repeat the entire procedure.
Power off all the units to exit binding mode.
The radios in binding mode cannot communicate.
B. ORDER FOR BINDING LISTENER UNITS
LISTENER units can be added to existing Yapalong group as listen-only units.
Regardless of the previous grouping state, the entire group has to be bound
again. The binding procedure is the same as the one for REGULAR units.
In addition we need to follow the order below to bind:
1. Set 1st REGULAR into Binding mode.
2. Set 2nd REGULAR into Binding mode.
3. Set all LISTENERs into Binding mode one by one.
4. Set the rest REGULARs into Binding mode one by one.

When worn, always keep the top of the radio upwards and
the front outwards for the best range.
To obtain maximum range is to eliminate blocking obstacles at line of sight.
The range is greatly reduced when the obstacle is very close to the antenna.
We need to avoid the following scenarios:

1. Get a slotted screwdriver. Insert the tip
of the screwdriver into the slot of the
battery cover. With a little twist, pry the
battery cover open.
2. Pull gently on the battery connector and take the
old battery out.
4. Put the battery cover back.
Make sure the bump on the
battery cover is close to the
bottom of the radio.
3. Get the new battery and
insert the battery connector as
orientation indicated

ABOUT SETTINGS
Yapalong-5000 CE radio has 3 Settings (shown below). These Settings
are indicated by the Setting LED’s on the right column of the keypad.
A temporary license may be required for Setting 2 or Setting 3
depending on the region of use.
Setting 2 have a slightly better range than Setting 3 under the same
environment.
CHANGE SETTING
1. Power on the radio. Ensure the radio is NOT in binding mode (see
page 4 for binding details).
2. While holding down the MIC button, click the Power button. Each
click will set a different setting indicated by the Setting LED. Cycle
through to the desired setting.
3. Restart the radio to make the Setting effective.
Note:
A bound radio will be removed from its group when its Setting has
changed.
Binding must be performed with other radios of the same Setting to
form a new group.
Setting 1 Setting LED1 Green 4 talkers Standard power
Setting 2 Setting LED2 Amber 4 talkers High power

Indicator
Specification

Note: MIC SENS (microphone sensitivity) sets the threshold of sound volume
that the microphone can pick up. The higher it is, the more sound is picked up.
MIC SENS does not affect the talker but affects the other listeners of the
group. It is good practice to lower the setting in a noisy environment so that
other users will not hear so much environment noise.
