Slide the battery pack upward the back of the transceiver until you feel a click and the battery is locked. Remove: One hand holds the transceiver with battery pack facing outside of palm. The other hand push down the release catch at the bottom of transceiver with thumb, and use fingers to hold and slide the pack away from the transceiver. Install the Antenna Hold and screw the antenna into the connector on the top of the transceiver. Install the Speaker-Microphone Use screwdriver to remove the cap from the speaker-microphone jack. Then plug the speaker-microphone in the jack. Install the Belt-Clip Use the 3mm×8mm screws from the supplied screw set to attach the belt-clip. KNOWING THIS TRANSCEIVER ① CHANNEL selector Selects operating channels. The channels need to be preset by your dealer. ② POWER/VOLUME control Switches on/off the transceiver; you can hear a click. A beep can also be heard if the dealer programs it. Also adjusts the transceiver volume. ③ LED indicator Lights red when transmitting. Flashes red when the battery voltage is low. Lights green when received a signal. ⑩ PTT (Push-to-Talk) switch Hold down to talk and release to listen. ⑿ MONI button Hold down to monitor any signal even so weak that below the squelch level on your selected channel. You will hear the background noises when held down. Hold down to check and adjust the speaker volume. Hold down to check the transceiver is working or not. If no noise coming out when pressed, that probably means low battery, or the transceiver was turned off. ⒀ Speaker-Microphone jacks To plug in the speaker-microphone pins here. BASIC FUNCTIONS & FEATURES Calling & Receiving 1. Press [Moni] and listen to make sure the channel is not being used. 2. Hold the transceiver 3~4 cm (1 1/2 inches) from your lips, hold down [PTT] and speak in normal voice. The LED lights red while transmitting. 3. Release the PTT button to return to the receiving mode. CTCSS & DCS If your dealer programmed CTCSS or DCS signaling for you and your group, you will hear your group ONLY without interference from outsiders who work on the same frequencies. (But that does not mean your conversations are absolutely private). Time-Out Timer (TOT) TOT is a self-protection function to prevent continuous transmission over a long period of time that can overheat and harm the transceiver. Transceiver would stop transmitting and generate a warning tone if [PTT] were held down for longer than the programmed time (preset as 60 seconds). Releasing [PTT] stops the warning tone. Busy Channel Lockout Activated by your dealer, this function prevents the interference with others by prohibiting you from transmitting and generating an audible warning tone while the selected channel is in use by others. Release [PTT] to cancel the alarm and
restore the receiving mode. Low Battery Warning Holding down [PTT] and if the LED flashes red, that indicates the battery level drops to the predetermined value. When drops further, the transceiver stops transmitting and generates an alarm. Recharge the battery pack if this occurs. Automatic Power Save While transceiver is idle for 10 seconds, it automatically turns into power save mode. When an operation is performed or a signal is received, it turns back on. Scan Operation (Available in TH307E) Scan is for monitoring activity on different channels. Switch the channel selector to position “S”, the transceiver will start scanning by checking channel 1 to channel 15 and stop on a channel if a signal is present. Your dealer can Lockout each channel so this channel will be skipped from scanning. And the scan operation can be preset as Time-operated or Carrier-Operated Operation. Time-Operated Operation The transceiver stays on a busy channel for a period of time that is preset by your dealer. Then the scan moves on even if the channel remains busy. Carrier-Operated Operation The transceiver stays on a busy channel until it is no longer busy. Then after a delay time that is preset by your dealer, the scan moves on. Priority Scan When the radio stays on a non-priority channel, it checks regularly the Priority channel that is preset by your dealer. Once a signal is received on the Priority channel, the transceiver will quickly switches to that Priority channel. Channel Lockout Your transceiver’s scan operation will skip those Locked out channels, if programmed so. Revert Channel When [PTT] is pressed while scanning, the transceiver stops scanning and jumps to that REVERT CHANNEL to transmit. The REVERT CHANNEL can be programmed by your dealer. TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Cannot turn the power on The battery pack may not be installed correctly. The battery pack may need to be recharged or maybe replaced. 2. Battery power runs out quickly The battery pack may reach the end of its life. 3. Cannot talk or hear others Make sure the frequencies are same and CTCSS/DCS codes are set as the same. Or maybe your group members are just too far away to reach. 4. Heard voice of unknown person You can set or change the CTCSS or DCS code. Make sure the whole group has the same code. 5. The range is not long enough Make sure the antenna is correctly loaded. Walk to a higher place or a place with less building in between.
