 PREPARATION

INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use.

CAUTION
◆◆ Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire.
◆◆ Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.

1 Align the battery pack with the back of the

transceiver, then press the battery pack and
transceiver firmly together until the release latch on
the base of the transceiver locks.

2 To remove the battery pack, lift the safety catch on

the base of the transceiver, then press the release
latch underneath the safety catch.

3 While pressing the release latch, pull the battery

pack away from the transceiver.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
ATTENTION:
◆◆ Always switch OFF a transceiver equipped with a battery pack before inserting the
transceiver into the charger.

1 Plug the AC adapter cable into the jack located on the rear of the charger.
2 Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
3 Slide a battery pack or a transceiver equipped with a battery pack into the
charging slot of the charger.
• Make sure the metal contacts of the battery pack mate securely with the
charger terminals.
• The indicator lights red and charging begins.

Indicator

4 When charging is completed, the indicator flashing green. Remove the battery
pack or the transceiver from the charging slot of the charger.
• It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery pack.
• When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the AC adapter
from the AC outlet.
Note:
◆◆ When the indicator blinks red, the battery pack is either defective or the battery pack
contacts are not properly mated with those of the charger.
◆◆ When the indicator flashes green and orange, the battery pack has not satisfied the
charging start temperature. Remove the battery pack from the charger and wait until it
reaches a normal temperature before charging it again.
◆◆ The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C while charging is in
progress. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
◆◆ The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully
and correctly charged. Replace the battery pack.

4
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP
If necessary, attach the belt clip using the two Belt clip
supplied M3 x 8 mm binding screws.
Note:
◆◆ If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location
may get hot during continuous transmission or when
left sitting in a hot environment.
M3 x 8 mm
◆◆ Use the Phillips #2 screwdriver. screws

CAUTION
◆◆ Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the belt
clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver. Acrylic ester, which is contained in
these glues, may crack the transceiver’s back panel.

INSTALLING THE CAP OVER THE SPEAKER/ MICROPHONE

JACKS
Note:
◆◆ To keep the transceiver water resistant, you must cover the speaker/ microphone jacks
with the supplied cap.
◆◆ Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver.

1 If you are not using an optional speaker/ microphone

or headset, install the cap over the speaker/
microphone jacks.
2 Secure the cap in place using the attached screw.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER/ MICROPHONE OR HEADSET
Note:
◆◆ The transceiver is not fully water resistant when using a speaker/ microphone or
headset.
◆◆ Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver.

1 Insert the speaker/ microphone plugs into the

speaker/ microphone jacks of the transceiver.
2 Place the locking bracket over the speaker/
microphone plugs so that the locking tabs insert
into the transceiver grooves.
3 Secure the locking bracket in place using the

QT/DQT SETUP (ANALOGUE)
Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that reject undesired
signals on your channel. You will hear a call only when you receive a signal that
contains a matching QT tone or DQT code. If a call containing a different tone or
code is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. Likewise,
when transmitting using QT or DQT, the receiving station must have a matching
tone or code to hear your call.
Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver
with the same tone or code.
The default QT/DQT settings for each channel are provided in the table {p. 10}.
To change the QT/DQT settings of a channel of Analogue:
1 During Setup Mode Selection, rotate the Selector to select a channel number.
• The transceiver announces the zone number and channel number.

number.
• QT/DQT table numbers and their corresponding tones/ codes are provided
in the table {p. 17}.
• Press and hold the Side 1 or Side 2 button to increment/ decrement the
Tone number by 5 at a time.
• A voice announcement will inform you of the currently selected QT/DQT
table number.

COMMON ID SETUP (DIGITAL)
Common ID is a signaling system designed for Digital communications. When
a channel is setup with an ID, squelch will only open when a call containing a
matching Common ID is received. If a call containing a different Common ID is
made on the same channel you are using, you will not hear the call. This allows you
to ignore (not hear) calls from another parties who are using the same channel.

Semi-VOX: Transmission is started by pressing PTT switch and transmission
continues while speaking even after PTT switch is released.
The Semi-VOX function is effective in the following cases.
• Incorrect transmission due to noise.
• Voice at start of transmission is interrupted.

VOX Function Setup

To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps:
1 Connect the headset to the transceiver.
• The VOX function does not activate when a headset is not connected to the
accessory terminal of the transceiver.
2 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1 button while turning
the transceiver power ON.
3 Continue to hold the Side 1 button until Beep A (1 beep) sounds.
• The LED indicator lights turn yellow.
• When the Side 1 button is released, the transceiver will announces: Zone
