Turn counterclockwise till a click is heard to switch off the radio.
4、Basic Operations 1. Power on the radio Switch on the radio by turning the Power/Volume switch clockwise till a click is heard, then the radio will be in the state of stand by and you will hear a beep if the dealer has set it. If channel annunciation has been set. the current channel number will be announced. 2. Adjust Volume: Rotate the Power/Volume switch to adjust the volume with the monitor key pressed. Turn clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to decrease the volume. 3.
4. Make a Call: To make a call, press the PTT, and speak in normal voice and please keep your mouth 5~10cm away from the microphone to achieve the best voice quality. 5.
Release the PTT button and adjust the volume at the proper position to receive calls. The dealer can set CTCSS/DCS, 5-Tone or 2-Tone or MDC on your radio.
After pressing this key, the radio will transmit with the RX frequency. CALL 1/CALL 2/CALL3/CALL4 Press the side button set as “CALL 1/CALL 2/CALL3/CALL4” to transmit the stored coding. Lone Work When the radio is set in lone work, it will sounds pre-alert tones before the Lone Work time expires, and the user should press any key on the radio within the Reset Time, indicating the user is safe, otherwise, the radio will activate emergency alert automatically.
During scanning, if the priority channel has been set on the radio, when the priority channel receives signals the radio will automatically switch to the priority channel even the normal channel is receiving signals at that time. And the radio will stay on the priority channel till the signals disappear. The dealer can set the delay time between signal disappearing and continuing scanning.
Squelch Off/ Call Cancel Press the button set as “Squelch off” to turn on the squelch; press it again to exit. When in selective call state, press this key to exit selective call Key Lock Press the button set as “Key Lock” to lock or unlock the keys. Battery Power Check Press the button set as “Battery Power Check” to hear the current power level. One, two, three or four beeps sound to indicate different power level separately. The highest level is four, and the lowest is one.
■ Wired Cloning Mode To enter the clone mode, wired cloning function should be set on both host and sub radio. Wired cloning procedures are as follows: 1) Press and hold the Side Button 1 and 2 on the host radio while turning on the radio; about 2 seconds later, orange indicator flashes twice and the radio enters cloning mode. 2) Press once the PTT button on the host radio, and then the sub radio to receive data will enter Wired Cloning Mode.
If the battery save function has been set, 10 seconds after no signals being received or no operations being conducted, the radio enters the battery save mode. It will exit the battery save mode automatically after receiving signals or being conducted. Battery Save Types: Short , Middle, Long and OFF. Battery save function can decrease the battery power consumption.
between the interval of signal disappearing and scanning restarting, the radio will keep staying on that channel if it receives any signals during the delay time. The working channel of the radio will revert to the following channels automatically when you press PTT button during scanning. The dealer can select one among the following six options.: 1) Start channel When pressing PTT button, the radio will transmit from the channel described in the Start.
DTMF The dealer can set DTMF signaling into encoding sequence. If DTMF is set in the encoding template, press the corresponding programmable button “Call 1” , “Call 2”, “Call 3”, or “Call 4”to transmit the coding. 5-Tone Signaling The dealer can activate or inactivate this function by programming. 5-Tone has 9 encoding formats: CCIR1, CCIR2, ZVEI1, ZVEI2, SVEI3, EEA, EIA, USER DEFINED 1, and USER DEFINED 2. The last tow formats are user defined. 1) 5-Tone Decoding The decoding template is 5-tone decoding.
The option MDC system can be set through the RX signaling system in the personal template. If the received MDC code is same as the one set in the system, it can decode successfully.After the radio received the correct MDC signaling, according to the Receive squelch mode set by the user, the squelch will be ON. Then, the radio can receive the call and the orange LED light flashes. 2) MDC encode If the PTT ID of the chosen channel is set as MDC, the MDC code will be transmitted when calling.

Statement: RSS-GEN 7.1.2 Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
