**Detailed Instruction For Parts Of Functions

**

1. Channel Memory
   When the transceiver is in channel (MR) mode, the parameters will be copied into the channel.
   When the transceiver is in frequency (VFO) mode, you can program all the parameters (Frequency, offset, offset direction, etc.) into the channel to memorize.

2. DTMF encoding
   are respectively corresponding to A, B, C, D at DTMF encoding setting. Please follow the below steps to activate DTMF manually: Hold on pressing the PTT key to transmit. , go At the same time, press the keys on the keyboard to send out the DTMF tone. NOTE: This transceiver will monitor the transmission of the corresponding DTMF tone.
   Please follow these steps to perform automatic dialing: (.1 Set automatic dialing through menu 18 or programming software, menu 16, or programming software to select signaling coding group. 12′ Press the PTT key to transmit, it will send out the previously edited DTMF signaling encoding group.

Trouble Shooting

Before confirmed the transceiver with real problems, kindly check the possible problems according to the following chart, if the problems come out all the time, please RESET the transceiver, it will solve some incorrect operations sometimes.

please change the new battery or re-charge it.

2.   The battery was not installed correctly, please re-install.

The battery life is too short to use| 1.  The battery life is over, please change a new battery

2.  The battery is not fully charged.

The receiving light keeps flashing, but there is on sound coming out| 1.  Make sure that the volume is the highest.

2.  Make sure that the CTCSS/DCS setting are the same as the transmitting transceiver.

3.  Make sure that the mute mode is correct.

It seems that the keyboard does `not work| 1.    Make sure that the keypad is locked or not.

2.    Make sure that the keys are not stuck.

In standby, the transceiver will transmit automatically even the PTT key is not pressed.| Make sure VOX function is ON or not, and its level is set too low or not.
Some functions can not be stored normally.| Please confirm if the transceiver is working in channel mode since some functions are only set in channel mode via programming software.
There are other disturbing signals or notices (from other groups) in the channel.| Please change the CTCSS/DCS frequencies set in your group.
