Releasethe key to return to normal operation.BASIC OPERATIONS1 Turn the Power switch/ Volume control clockwise to switchthe transceiver power ON.• A beep sounds if enabled by your dealer.2 Press the key programmed with the Monitor or SquelchOff function to hear background noise, then rotate thePower switch/ Volume control to adjust the volume.3 Rotate the Channel selector to select your desired channel.• When you receive an appropriate signal, you will hear audiofrom the speaker.4 To make a call, press and hold the PTT switch, then speakinto the microphone using your normal speaking voice.• Hold the microphone approximately 3 to 4 cm (1.5 inches)from your lips.• An error will occur when selecting the “10” ~ “S” positions.7 Press and hold the Side key for 2 seconds to save thesetting.• A beep will sound.8 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again toactivate the new settings.VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This featurecan be activated or deactivated by your dealer.To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform thefollowing steps:1 Connect the headset to the transceiver .• The VOX function does not activate when a headset is notconnected to the accessory terminal of the transceiver.2 Rotate the Channel selector to select any position otherthan “S”.3 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Sidekey while turning the transceiver power ON.4 Continue to hold the Side key until a beep sounds.• The LED indicator alternates between red and green.5 Release the Side key.6 Rotate the Channel selector clockwise to increase theVOX gain level and counterclockwise to decrease the VOXgain level.• The VOX Gain can be adjusted from levels 1 to 10 and OFF(select the “11” ~ “S” position).• While speaking into the transceiver, the LED will lightorange when you reach a VOX gain level that recognizesyour voice.7 Press and hold the Side key for 2 seconds to save thesetting.• A beep will sound.8 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again toactivate VOX.Note: If a headset is connected to the transceiver while the VOXfunction is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is configured to ahigher, more sensitive level, louder received signals may cause thetransceiver to start transmission.BACKGROUND OPERATIONSTIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)The Time-out Timer prevents callers from using a channelfor an extended duration. If you continuously transmit for theduration programmed by your dealer (default is 1 minute),transmission will stop and an alert tone will sound. To stop thetone, release the PTT switch.BATTERY SAVERWhen activated by your dealer, the Battery Saver functiondecreases the amount of power used after no signal is presentand no operations are being performed for 5 seconds. When asignal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Saverturns off.Note: While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flashgreen when receiving a QT/DQT signal which does not match theQT/DQT tone/code set up in your transceiver.LOW BATTERY WARNINGWhile operating the transceiver, the Low Battery Warningsounds an alert tone every 30 seconds and the LED indicatorblinks red when the battery needs recharged or replaced.BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering on achannel that is already in use. Pressing the PTT switch willcause an alert tone to sound and the transceiver will nottransmit. Release the PTT switch to stop the tone.Note: Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functionswhen using QT or DQT signaling.QT/ DQT SIGNALINGQT/ DQT is used to segregate talk groups, so users only hearcalls from their own group.QUIPMENTthe items listedwith the carrier..............................1..............................1..............................1..............................1..............................1............................... 1..............................1PACKse of the battery byhe battery pack.e battery pack, alignthe battery packnsceiver, then presspack into place untiler is secure.the battery pack,ck lever up, then pullpack away from the.into the connectoransceiver by holdingbase and turning iture.a is neither a handle,nor a speaker/ment point.

Remove thebattery pack from the charger and wait until it reaches a normaltemperature before charging it again.◆ The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°Cwhile charging is in progress. Charging outside this range maynot fully charge the battery.◆ The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreaseseven though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the batterypack.◆ While operating the transceiver using a Li-ion battery packin areas with an ambient temperature of –10°C and lower,operating time may be shortened.◆ Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects ofbattery pack disposal.ORIENTATIONAntennaMicrophoneSpeakerBattery PackChannel selectorRotate to change the operating channel.• If your dealer has set the [S-Selector] function,rotate the Channel selector and select the “S”position to begin scanning.LED indicatorRefer to the LED Indicator Status table.Power switch/ Volume controlTurn clockwise to switch the transceiver ON.
