Assembly
Before the radio is ready for use we need to attach the antenna and battery pack, as well as
charge the battery.
Antenna
This transceiver is fitted with a Male SMA connector. To mount
your antenna (Female SMA connector), align the two connectors
and turn clockwise until it stops.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not over-tighten your antenna to avoid damage to the connectors.
When installing the antenna, don't grip it by the top. Grip by the base and turn.
If you use an external antenna, make sure the SWR is about 1.5:1 or lower to avoid
damage to the transceiver.
Do not hold the antenna with your hand while transmitting.
Never transmit without an antenna.
The antenna gain that should not be exceeded while using a different antenna

Belt clip
At the back of the radio there are two parallel screws mounted
above the battery, remove these and thread them through the
holes on the belt clip as you screw them back into the radio body.
SAR has been performed for a held to face configuration and a
body configuration with the belt clip.
Do not use any form of glue to fix the screws on the battery
clip. The solvents in the glue may cause damage to the
battery casing.
Battery
Before attaching or removing the battery make sure your radio is turned off by turning the
power/volume knob all the way counter-clockwise.
Installation
Make sure the battery is aligned in parallel with the radio
body with the lower edge of the battery about 1-2cm below
the edge of the radio.
Once aligned with the guide-rails, slide the battery upward
until you hear a click as the battery locks in place.

Charging and battery maintenance
Charging
Battery should be fully charged before initial use. Optimum battery efficiency will be
achieved after the three full battery charge and discharge cycles.
Follow these steps to hook up and use the charger:
1. Plug the DC connector of the power adaptor into the charger base.
2. Plug the AC connector of the power adaptor into a main AC wall outlet.
3. Place the radio in the charging slot on the charger.
4. Make sure the radio is making contact with the charger. When the red LED comes on
steady, your radio is charging.
5. The radio is fully charged once the charger's green status LED glows steady. Please
remove the radio at that time to avoid over-charging your battery.

The charger and battery are fitted with matching notches so that you can charge your
battery on its own! Practical if you have two batteries. That way you can charge one
battery while still using your radio.
Radio should be turned OFF during charge cycle
Battery Maintenance
The battery for your radio comes uncharged from the factory; please let it charge for at least
four to five hours before you start using your radio.
• Use only batteries approved by the original manufacturer.
• Never attempt to disassemble your battery pack.
• Do not expose your batteries to fire or intense heat
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local recycling regulations. Batteries do not
belong in your trashcan!
Prolonging the life of your battery
•
•
•
Only charge batteries in normal room temperatures.
When charging a battery attached to the radio, turn the radio off for a faster charge.
Do not unplug the power to the charger or remove the battery and/or radio before it's
finished charging.

Never charge a wet battery.
Batteries wear out over time. If you notice a considerably shorter operating time with
your radio, please consider purchasing a new battery.
Battery performance will be reduced in temperatures below freezing. When working in
cold environments, keep a spare battery on you. Preferably inside your jacket or in a
similar location in order to keep the battery warm.
Dust can interfere with the contacts on the battery. If necessary wipe the contacts with a
clean cloth to ensure proper contact with radio and charger.
If your battery has become wet, remove it from the radio, wipe it dry with a towel and
put it in a plastic bag with a handful of dry rice. Tie the bag up and let it sit over night.
The rice will absorb any remaining moisture in the battery.
This method is only effective against minor splashes (light rain for instance). A soaked
radio may very well be beyond repair.
Storage
Partially charge your battery before long-term storage in order to prevent damage from overdischarge. While lead acid must always be kept at full charge during storage, this radio uses a
lithium-based battery and should be stored at around a 40 percent charge. This level minimizes
age-related capacity loss while keeping the battery in operating condition and allowing selfMURS-V1
VISIT BAOFENGTECH.COM AND MIKLOR.COM FOR DOWNLOADS AND HELP 15
discharge.
To avoid severe capacity degradation of your battery while in long-term storage, please cycle
the battery at least every six (6) months.
Store your batteries in a cool and dry place, never above normal room temperatures.

Chapter 8. - DTMF
DTMF is an in-band signaling method using dual sinusoidal signals for any given code. Originally
developed for telephony systems, it has proved a very versatile tool in many other areas.
In two-way radio systems, DTMF is most commonly used for automation systems and remote
control. A common example would be in amateur radio repeaters where some repeaters are
activated by sending out a DTMF sequence (usually a simple single-digit sequence).

respectively (†).
To send DTMF codes, press the key(s) corresponding to the message you want to send while
holding down the PTT key.
If you have the keypad lock enabled on your radio, you can still send DTMF tones the
regular way without having to unlock your radio.

Chapter 9. - Selective calling
Some times when you're working with larger groups of people using the same channel, things
can get very crowded, very fast. To minimize this problem, several methods of blocking out
unwanted transmissions on your frequency have developed. In general, there are two forms of
selective calling in two-way radio systems: Group calling, and individual calling.
Group calling, as the name suggest, is a one-to-many form of communication. Every radio in
your working group is configured the same way and any radio will make contact with every other
radio in the group.
Individual calling, some times also known as paging, is a one-to-one form of communication.
Every radio is programmed with a unique ID code. And only by sending out a matching code
can you get that radio to open up to your transmissions.
The BTECH MURS-V1 features three different ways of group calling:
•
•
CTCSS
DCS
•
Tone-burst
44
VISIT BAOFENGTECH.COM AND MIKLOR.COM FOR DOWNLOADS AND HELP
The BTECH MURS-V1 does not feature any form of individual calling.
Using these features does NOT mean that others won't be able to listen in on your
transmissions.
They only provide a method to filter out unwanted incoming transmissions. Any
communications made while using these features will still be heard by anyone not
employing filtering options of their own.
You can change the CTCSS or DCS settings while in memory (MR) mode.
CTCSS and Tone-burst are also popular to open up repeaters.
CTCSS
CTCSS is set with menus 11 R-CTCS and 13 T-CTCS.
