Preparation for operating the terminal

Install the antenna

  1. Insert the threaded end of the antenna into the antenna port on the back of the radio.
  2. Tighten the antenna clockwise.
    Do not hold the antenna with your hand, as this will reduce the radio performance.

Power cord connection
When the radio is first start, a low-power alarm may appear.
Please turn off and charge the radio before using it (the radio with built-in battery).
Please follow below steps to charge:

  1. Plug the power supply into the jack on the back of the radio.
  2. Insert the power supply into the power outlet.
  3. Check the LED charging indicator to understand the current charging status.
  4. For radios without built-in batteries, the charging indicator does not light up when the power supply is plugged in.

Note:

  • The input voltage range is: DC 12~48V.
  • Please use the charging equipment designated by us for charging.
  • Please refer to the charging safety information before charging to obtain the necessary battery safety information.

Speaker Microphone Installation
To communicate by voice, connect the supplied speaker microphone to the jack on the front-left side of the radio. Insert the microphone plug to the jack hole and press  firmly until it reaches the bottom, and then tighten the nut of the microphone plug.

Programmable Keys

  • Short Press: press and release quickly (programmable range is from 50ms-750ms).
  • Long Press: press and hold for programmed time length (programmable range is from 500ms-5000ms).

Programmable Functions
If desired, the following terminal features can be preset for programmable keys:

Main functions description

Classification Function Description

Public
Functions| VFO Mode!| In VFO mode, the user can directly input the required frequency through the numeric keyboard
Zone| A zone is a group of channels.
The radio |supports 16 zones and contains up to 4000 channels.
Power| The power level is for the transmission power level of the  current channel, which can be set to high or low power.
Scan| When the terminal scans a signal on a channel, it will stay on the channel to listen, so as to understand the current activity status of the relevant team members.
Emergent alarm| Emergency alarm has the highest priority.
Vox| The radio transmits when voice is detected by the microphone
Busy channel lockout| Busy channel lockout prohibits transmission and prevents interference to other users when the radio is receiving traffic.

General guide for fault handling

Malfunction Analysis of causes Handling method
Radio fails to power on The radio without built-in battery Need to plug in

the power cord to power on.
The power cord is not plugged in properly| Re-plug the power cord and check if the power plug is firmly inserted
Receive signal decreases, is unclear or is interrupted.| Low battery voltage| Plug in the power cord to charge.
Volume control at low value.| Adjust the volume to be higher.
Antenna gets loose or antenna frequency is incorrect.| Power off radio, and re-install antenna, or change antenna with right frequency.
Speaker is blocked or damaged.| Try to clear the outer speaker or contact your dealer.
Using the radio under poor working environment or electromagnetic interference| Change working environment or shift antenna direction.
Unable to communicate with group members| The current working channel frequency or signaling value is different.| Change channel or reset signaling and frequency to be same as the group members
The setting of Digital or Analog channel is incorrect.| Reprogram the current digital or analog channel.
Out of range of group members| Move back within range
Noise or unrelated communications on current channel| Co-channel user interference| Change frequency or channel.
Channel not programmed with correct signaling| Reprogram radio to correct signaling or change signaling to prevent interference.
Weak voice traffic with noise during communications| The communication distance is too great| Reduce range between users.
Signals are blocked during to environment such as buildings and terrain.| Reduce range between users or move to unimpeded line of sight.
