TOT (Time-out Timer) Reset Time When this feature is disabled, TOT is immediately reset after transmission stops. When enabled, TOT won’t reset until preset time (it’s set by your dealer) elapses, even if transmission has stopped. TOT Rekey Time The feature is used to set the duration until transmission is allowed after returning to receive by TOT. When enabled, transmission will be prohibited until preset time elapses (it’s set by your dealer). TOT Alert Time This timer can be set by your dealer from 1 to 255 seconds in 1 second step. When this feature is enabled, the radio will call an alert at the set time. Transmission will be prohibited by TOT after this time. Battery Save When there is no activity on the channel and no operation is performed for 10 seconds, Battery Save feature is turned ON. When a signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Save feature is turned OFF automatically. Low Battery Alert Low Battery Alert alerts you to recharge or replace the battery. During transmission, when the battery voltage goes below a preset value, the light will flash red. When the alert tone sounds, the radio stops transmitting. Please recharge or replace the battery. Monitor Press and hold Monitor key to monitor activities on the current channel. This operation is especially useful for adjusting volume level or receiving a weak signal. The light will glow green while the Monitor key is held down. CTCSS & CDCSS CTCSS/CDCSS allows you to ignore unwanted calls from other parties using the same channel. When CTCSS/CDCSS is set, the user can only receive the calls on the same channel with same CTCSS/CDCSS. The dealer can preset CTCSS/CDCSS signaling on certain channels. Note: Although using CTCSS/CDCSS enables you to avoid hearing unwanted calls, it does not mean your calls will be private. Channel Scan (This feature can be disabled by your dealer) Turn channel selector knob to the position “16”, the radio will automatically detect those channels which have been programmed as scan items in channel 1-15 (your dealer can set any channel as scan item or non-scan item). When any activity is detected on one channel, the radio will stop on the active channel for communications. Priority Channel Scan Any programmed channel may be set as the priority channel. The radio will detect the priority channel periodically while stopping on a non-priority channel. When there is any activity on the priority channel, the radio will turn to the priority channel for communications. Scan Revert Channel When the radio is scanning, press the PTT key, it will transmit in pre-programmed revert channel. Revert channel can be programmed by your dealer. Busy Channel Lockout If the current channel is set by your dealer as “busy channel lockout”, and this channel is being used by other users, press PTT, the radio sounds a beep and will not transmit the signal. To stop the beep, release PTT. When this channel is free, press PTT to transmit. Troubleshooting Guide Trouble Solution No power *Battery may be used up.

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 FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population consumer, or any 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 electric power, radar, 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. The energy levels associated with radio waves from portable 2-way radios, when properly used, are not great enough to cause biological damage. 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 11 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. Your 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, the owner’s and service manuals include information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements. COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS Your 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in Standby Mode. Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen - 90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk. Your 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: • United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and 2.1093 • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition 12 Frequency Chart Model: ____________________ Serial Number: ________________ Channel Transmit Frequency Transmit CTCSS/CDCSS Receive Frequency Receive CTCSS/CDCSS 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 HYT endeavor to achieve the accuracy and completeness of this manual, but cannot guarantee its accuracy at all times.
