LED Indicator Radio Status Red LED glows. Transmitting Red LED flashes. Low battery alert Green LED glows. Receiving Green LED flashes. Scanning 12 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Basic Operations Turning the Radio On/Off Rotate the Radio On-Off/Volume Control knob clockwise/counter-clockwise until a click is heard to turn the radio on/off. Adjusting the Volume You may control the volume level using the Radio On-Off/Volume Control knob. After the radio is powered on, rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume, or counter-clockwise to decrease the volume. Selecting a Channel The radio supports up to 16 channels. Rotate the Channel Selector knob to align your desired channel number with the white channel mark. Note: When the radio is currently on a blank channel, it will sound beep tones continuously. Transmitting / Receiving To transmit audio signals, press and hold down the PTT, and speak into the microphone. During transmission, the LED glows red. To receive, just release the PTT. When any audio signal is received, the LED glows green. Note: To ensure optimal volume of the receiving radio, hold the radio approximately 2.5 to 5 centimeters away from your mouth. Communication range may get affected in rainy days or forest locations. 13 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Functions and Operations CTCSS/CDCSS CDCSS/CTCSS can be used to prevent unwanted conversations at the same frequency. If CTCSS/CDCSS is set on a certain channel, you can only receive voice calls from radios with matching CTCSS/CDCSS. Otherwise you will receive voice calls from all users operating at the same frequency. You may request your dealer to program corresponding parameters on certain channels. For detailed operation method, please consult your dealer. Time-out Timer (TOT) The purpose of TOT is to prevent any user from occupying a channel for an extended period. When the preset time expires, the radio will automatically terminate transmission and keep beeping. To stop beeping, please release the PTT key. You must wait for a certain time period (preset by your dealer) to initiate another transmission. If the pre-alert function is set by your dealer, your radio will alert you to the TOT expiration in advance. Adjust Power Level With this feature, you may switch power levels quickly. Generally, we recommend you to adopt low power for battery saving. However, if you cannot communicate with other radios located at a distant place with low power, please select high power. Operation: Press the programmed Adjust Power Level key to switch between high power and low power (from high power to low power: a low-pitched tone sounds; from low power to high power: a high-pitched tone sounds). Monitor This feature allows you to lower the conditions for incoming signal match. Operation: Press the programmed Monitor key to activate this function (an alert tone sounds); press it again to deactivate the function (the alert tone sounds twice). Or 14 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Press and hold down the programmed Monitor Momentary key to activate this function (an alert tone sounds); release the key to exit (the alert tone sounds twice). Squelch Off This feature allows you to always unmute the speaker, no matter whether carrier is present or not. Operation: Press the programmed Squelch Off key to activate this function; press the key again to deactivate it. Or Press and hold down the programmed Squelch Off Momentary key to activate this function; release the key to deactivate it. Note: When this function is enabled on current channel, you will hear audio signals (if any); otherwise, background noise will be heard. Scan The feature allows you to listen to communication activities on other channels so that you can keep a close track of your team members. The scan list can be set by your dealer. Operation: 1. To activate this function, you may press the programmed Scan key; or switch to a channel enabled with the auto scan feature (programmed by your dealer). Note: The radio will not start scan if there are less than two channels in the scan list. 2. After the feature is enabled, your radio will scan according to the scan list set for the channel on which scanning starts. The scanning process is as follows: The LED flashes green during scanning. When communication activities are detected on a channel, the radio will stay on the channel to receive current activities. Meanwhile, the LED glows green. If the Talk Back feature is enabled by your dealer, press and hold down the PTT to reply when the radio stays on a certain channel. You can scan the frequently used channel if the priority scan feature is enabled. When scan stays on a non-priority channel, the radio will keep detecting activities on the priority channel. 15 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Once any activity is detected, it will jump to the priority channel. For more information, please consult your dealer. 3. To exit the scanning process, you may press the Scan key again, or switch to a channel where the auto scan feature is disabled; or turn the radio off. Note: The Scan Start Alert tone and the Scan End Alert tone can be enabled / disabled by the dealer. During scanning, the following function keys (if programmed) are available: PTT, Squelch Off , Squelch Off Momentary , Monitor and Monitor Momentary. VOX This feature allows you to transmit your voice with no need to press the PTT. However, you must employ a dedicated earpiece to realize this function. Operation: 1. Set the PTT/VOX Switch on the earpiece to VOX; 2. Plug the earpiece into the accessory jack; 3. Press the programmed VOX key to activate this function. 4. Speak into the microphone (on the earpiece) to transmit your voice, and transmission will stop automatically when you stop talking; 5. Power the radio off or press the VOX key again to deactivate this function. Note: If the PTT/VOX Switch on the earpiece is set to PTT, you can only transmit by pressing the external PTT, no matter whether VOX is activated. When the PTT/VOX Switch is set to PTT, you are not allowed to switch it from PTT to VOX directly; otherwise, continuous transmission may occur. If continuous transmission occurs unexpectedly, you can restore the radio to normal operation by toggling the switch from VOX to PTT, or turning the radio off and back on. You can select an appropriate VOX sensitivity according to the environment. If VOX is activated under heavy noise, continuously transmission may occur. 16 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Battery Strength Indicator This feature allows you to know the current battery strength. Operation: Press and hold down the programmed Battery Strength Indicator key, and the LED glows to indicate remaining battery strength by different colors .Release the key to exit. The following table lists different colors representing different battery strength levels LED Indicator Battery Strength Green LED glows. High Orange LED glows. Medium Red LED glows. Low Low Battery Alert This feature allows you to know the low battery status. When battery power runs low, the LED will flash red, and the low-pitched tone will sound periodically. In this case, please replace or charge the battery. Note: When the battery strength is insufficient, the programmed Battery Strength Indicator key will become unavailable; when the battery strength is drained, transmission will be prohibited; if you press PTT in such situations, the radio will sound an alert to warn you. Channel Lock This feature can avoid unexpected channel change due to rotation of Channel Selector knob accidentally. Operation: Press the programmed Channel Lock key to enable the feature (an alert tone sounds); press the key again to deactivate it (the alert tone sounds twice). When this function is activated, the radio will stay on the current operating channel even if you rotate the Channel Selector knob. Note: This function will be deactivated if the radio is powered off and back on, or it is programmed. 17 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Battery Save In Standby mode, when no signal is received / transmitted or no operation (key press) is performed for 10 seconds (programmable), the radio will automatically enter Battery Save mode to reduce power consumption. The radio may exit the Battery Save mode and get activated as soon as any key is pressed or any signal is received. Busy Channel Lockout If enabled via the programming software, this feature can prevent your radio interfering with other transmitting radios on the same channel. When the channel is already in use, the radio will keep beeping and return to RX mode upon pressing the PTT key. To stop beeping, please release the PTT key. 18 TC-508 Owner’s Manual Troubleshooting Phenomena Analysis Solution The battery may be improperly installed. The radio can not be powered on. The battery may run out. Recharge or replace the battery. The battery may suffer from poor contact caused by dirtied or damaged battery contacts. The battery strength may be too low.
