This radio device is NOT authorizINSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC/IC’S RF EXPOSURE AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OCCUPATIONAL USE RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION, REQUIREMENTS BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO, READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet other use. This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All 2-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of 2-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits. http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html Federal Communications Commission Regulations The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information. COVALUE 2-way radio has

Low Battery Warning Low Battery warning tone sounds and RED LED flashes when the battery power goes below the preset value and you need to recharge the battery. If the battery voltage is too low, transmission is prohibited.
CTCSS/DCS The dealer can set CTCSS/DCS on the radio channels to ignore calls on the same channel from irrelevant radios. If a channel has been set with CTCSS/DCS, the squelch will be activated only when it receives the proper CTCSS/DCS signals. And only the radios set with the same CTCSS/DCS signaling as those on yours can hear your call. Note: Using a CTCSS/DCS channel doesn’t mean your calls are private. If the CTCSS/DCS tones of other radios are identical with those on yours, they can hear your calls. ■ User Template A user template includes PTT code-transmitting, encoding, decoding, Busy Channel Lockout, Call 1/2/3/4, RX squelch mode, TX conditions and decoding conditions, etc. Maximum 16 user templates are available on this radio. RX Squelch Mode The dealer can set conditions under which the speaker will be activated from the following 4 options: 1) CTCSS/DCS and Audio Squelch: The speaker will be activated only when both CTCSS/DCS and the selective signaling matched. 2) Audio Squelch: The speaker will be activated when the selective signaling matched. 3) CTCSS/DCS Squelch: The speaker will be activated when CTCSS/DCS matched. 4) Carrier Squelch: The speaker will be activated when carrier wave presents Scan When in scanning, the radio checks signals on each channel; it stops scanning and pauses on the channel on which signals are detected until the signals disappear. If a delay time has been set between the interval of signal disappearing and scanning restarting, the radio will stay on that channel if it receives any signals during the delay time. The operating channel of the radio will revert to the following channels automatically when you press PTT button during scanning. The dealer can select one among the following six options.: 1) Start channel When pressing PTT button, the radio will transmit from the channel described in the Start. 2) Selected channel When pressing PTT button, the radio will transmit from the channel selected. 3) Last called When pressing PTT button, the radio will transmit from the last channel that received a call. 4) Last used When pressing PTT button during the scanning, the radio will transmit from the last channel you used to talk. C ) Priority Scan
During scanning, if the priority channel has been set on the radio, when the priority channel receives signals the radio will automatically switch to the priority channel even the normal channel is receiving signals at that time. And the radio will stay on the priority channel till the signals disappear. The dealer can set the delay time between signal disappearing and continuing scanning. Temporarily Delete Noise Channel When scanning pauses on a channel, press and hold the button Programmed as “Temporarily Delete Noise Channel” to delete this channel temporarily from the scanning list. Note: The priority channel cannot be deleted. DTMF The dealer can set DTMF signaling in the Personality Template. The Call Alert / Selective Call, Message , ANI feature and so on can be set by your dealer. 5-Tone Signaling The dealer can activate or inactivate this function by programming. 5-Tone has 9 encoding formats: CCIR1, CCIR2, ZVEI1, ZVEI2, SVEI3, EEA, EIA, USER DEFINED 1, and USER DEFINED 2. The last tow formats are user defined. 1) 5-Tone Decode The decoding template is 5-tone decoding. If the decoding template matches the encoding template, decoding succeeds. When receiving proper 5-tone signaling, squelch will be activated according to the “RX Squelch Mode” defined by the user. You can receive the call and LED flashes orange. After the radio decoding succeeds, the radio will work according to the decoding call response set by the dealer. 2) 5-Tone Encode Encoding template consists of at least one and at most three encoding sequences and each decoding sequence can be set with 5-Tone, and DTMF. If it is set with 5-Tone, you need to program its content. If the PTT ID on the channel you select has been set with 5-Tone, 5-Tone signaling will be transmitted when making a call. Or transmit 5-Tone signal by pressing the Call 1/2/3/4 button,, which can be set by the dealer. 2-Tone Signaling This function can be enabled or disabled by dealers through programming software. 2Tone has 4 systems; the single tone continuous time, such as first tone or second tone, could be set by the dealer. 1) 2Tone decode If the received 2 tone is same as the template chosen then it can decode successfully. After the radio received the correct 2 tone signaling, according to the Receive squelch mode set by the user, the squelch will be ON. Then, the radio can receive the call and the orange LED light flashes. After decoding successfully, the radio can work according to the decode call response set by the
dealer. 2) 2Tone encode The encoding template is set in the 2 tone call list. The details must be set if encoding is ON. The radio transmits the 2 tone signaling when the programmed call button is pressed. (The side button could be programmed as Call1/2/3/4). This function is programmed by the dealer. MDC Signaling This function can be enabled or disabled by the dealers through programming software. MDC has 4 systems, in which different main ID, group ID, etc., could be set by the dealer. 1) MDC decode The option MDC system can be set through the RX signaling system in the personal template. If the received MDC code is same as the one set in the system, it can decode successfully. After the radio received the correct MDC signaling, according to the Receive squelch mode set by the user, the squelch will be ON. Then, the radio can receive the call and the orange LED light flashes. 2) MDC encode If the PTT ID of the chosen channel is set as MDC, the MDC code will be transmitted when calling. ■ Troubleshooting No. Problems Solutions 1 The radio cannot be switched on or no display after switched on. z Battery pack may not be installed properly. Remove the battery pack and install it again. z Battery power may be insufficient. Recharge or replace the battery pack. 2 The battery power consume quickly after charging. z The battery life is finished; please replace it with a new battery pack. 3 Cannot talk to or hear other members in your group. z The frequency or CTCSS/DCS signaling are not identical and please reprogram it. z Make sure the setting of the selective signaling 5-Tone in he RX Squelch Mode is proper. z Beyond the radio efficient communication range. 4 Other voices from non-group members are heard on the channel. z Change the CTCSS/DCS tone, and make sure change the tone on all radios in your group. z Please set 5-Tone selective signaling on the channel. 5 Communication range is too small. z Make sure the antenna is well connected. z Make sure the antenna is the originally supplied one. z Check if the battery power is in the normal state. z Ask your local dealer to adjust the squelch level. 6 Unable to transmit. z Make sure the PTT button has been pressed completely. z Battery power may be insufficient. Recharge or replace the battery pack.
z Transmitting frequency has not been set on the channel and the radio has been remote killed. 7 Noise is too loud. z Battery power may be insufficient. Recharge or replace the battery pack. z Beyond the efficient communication range. ■ Settings (by the Dealer) Model: ____________ Serial No.: ___________ 1) Channels List Channel Type Receiving Frequency Transmitting FrequencyCTCSS /DCS Decode CTCSS /DCS Encode Power Bandwidth Scan List 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 2) Optional Functions Time-out Time (TOT) 5-600s Squelch Level 0-9 Voice Annunciation ON □ OFF □ Battery Save OFF □ Short □
