J29-0624-XX N99-2012 -XX B09-0351-XX J21-4493-XX — B62-1129-XX Speaker-mic jacks cap Locking bracket PREPARATION ■ Installing/RemovingtheOptionalBatteryPack The optional KNB-14 or KNB-15A battery pack is not charged at the factory. Charge the pack before use. If after purchase or extended storage (greater than 2 months), battery capacity is found to be low, the battery pack needs recharging. Repeating the charge/ discharge cycles two or three times will restore the battery to its normal capacity. 1 Position the four grooves on the inside edges of the battery pack over the corresponding guides on the back of the transceiver. 2 Slide the battery pack along the back of the transceiver until the release catch on the base of the transceiver locks the battery pack in place. 3 To remove the battery pack, grasp the pack near its tabs, pull back on the release catch, then slide the pack away from the transceiver. CAUTION: ◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. If you do this, you will overcharge the battery pack which may shorten its life or damage it. ◆ After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. If, having recharged the battery pack, the power to the charger is turned off and then back on while the pack is still connected, recharging will start again and the battery pack will become overcharged. ◆ Do not short the battery pack terminals or dispose of the battery by fire. Never attempt to remove the case from the battery pack. ■ InstallingtheAntenna Holding the provided antenna at its base, screw the antenna into the connector on the top panel of the transceiver. ■ InstallingtheCapOvertheSpeaker-MicJacks Use the supplied screw (3 mm x 6 mm) to install the cap over the speaker-mic jacks if a speakermicrophone is not used. Cap ■ InstallingtheSpeaker-Microphone Insert the speaker-microphone plugs into the SP/MIC jacks. Attach the locking bracket using the supplied screw (3 mm x 6 mm). Bracket ■ InstallingtheBeltHook If necessary, attach the belt hook using the two 3 mm x 8 mm screws from the supplied screw set. GETTING ACQUAINTED Antenna Microphone 2 3 Speaker Not used The transceiver is shown with the optional KNB-14 battery pack installed. 1 ANTENNA connector Connect the supplied antenna to this connector. 2 LED indicator Lights red while transmitting. Flashes red while transmitting if the battery pack voltage is low. Recharge or replace the battery pack at this time. The LED lights green while receiving a station. The LED flashes orange if, while a channel programmed with 2-Tone signaling is selected, the same 2-Tone signaling is received as is programmed or you press and release the [PTT] switch. Press the [MONI] button to cancel the flashing state. The flashing indication only functions if your dealer activates the 2-Tone function on your transceiver. 3 CHANNEL selector Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to select your desired channel from a maximum of 4 channels. 4 POWER/VOL control Turn clockwise to switch ON the transceiver. Turn counterclockwise fully to switch OFF the transceiver. Also adjusts the volume level. 5 PTT (Push-to-Talk) switch Press and speak into the microphone to call another station. 6 MONI button Press to monitor activity on your selected channel. Also used with 2-Tone Signaling to mute the speaker after this function has opened squelch. 7 Speaker-microphone jacks If desired, connect a speaker-microphone here. 10 RECEIVING Your dealer may have programmed QT, DQT, or 2-Tone signaling for the channel that you select. If so programmed, you will hear transmissions from other transceivers IN YOUR SYSTEM ONLY! Otherwise, you will hear ALL TRANSMISSIONS made by ANY stations using the same channel. 1 Switch ON the transceiver by turning the POWER/VOL control clockwise. • A “click” is heard. A beep also sounds if so programmed by your dealer. To switch OFF the transceiver, turn the POWER/VOL control counterclockwise until a click is heard. 2 To adjust the volume, turn the POWER/VOL control while using [MONI] to listen to channel background noise. • While communicating with other parties, you may need to adjust the volume more precisely. 3 Use the CHANNEL selector to choose your regular operating channel. • Turning the selector clockwise increases the channel number and turning the selector counterclockwise decreases the channel number. • Non-programmed channels cannot be used. Selecting a channel that is unprogrammed generates an Alert beep. 11 Note: ◆ ◆ ◆ Your dealer selects one of four methods of operation for [MONI]: • Hold down the button to open the squelch; release the button to close the squelch, or • Hold down the button to deactivate QT, DQT, or 2-Tone decoding; release the button to activate decoding, or • Press the button to deactivate QT, DQT, or 2-Tone decoding; press the button again to activate decoding. • Disabled. If your transceiver is programmed with QT, DQT, or 2-Tone Signaling, pressing [MONI] will not affect output from the speaker; even at full volume there will be virtually no noise audible from the speaker. Receiving a signal with the same 2-Tone signaling as is programmed in your transceiver will cause the LED indicator to flash orange. An alert tone is heard if so programmed by your dealer. CALLING 1 Press [MONI], then listen for a few seconds to make certain that the channel is not being used. 2 Hold the transceiver about 3 ~ 4 cm (1 1/2 inches) from your lips, press the [PTT] switch, and speak in your normal speaking voice. • The LED lights red while you are transmitting. 3 Release the [PTT] switch to return to the receive mode. 12 ■ Time-OutTimer(TOT) The purpose of the time-out timer is to automatically interrupt continuous transmissions after a specified time elapses. Holding down [PTT] for longer than the programmed time causes the transceiver to stop transmitting and generate a warning tone. Releasing [PTT] cancels the warning tone. Your dealer also can program a warning function that alerts you just before the time-out timer stops your transmission. After [PTT] is held down for the time specified by your dealer, a warning tone sounds that is different from the time-out timer tone. ■ BusyChannelLockout Activated or deactivated by your dealer, this function prevents you from interfering with other stations who may be using a channel. Pressing [PTT] while the selected channel is in use causes your transceiver to generate an audible warning tone. Your transceiver is inhibited in this situation so it will not transmit. Release [PTT] to cancel the alarm and restore the receive mode. 13 ■ BatteryVoltageLevel While holding down [PTT], the battery voltage level is checked. When the voltage level drops to the predetermined value, the LED flashes red. When the voltage level drops further, the transceiver stops transmitting and generates an alarm. If this occurs, recharge the battery pack. 14 CHANNEL CHART ModelTKSerialNo.: Channel RX Freq. Encode Decode TX Freq. Signaling Signaling DealerName&Address: DealerTelephoneNo.: Date Purchased: 15
