extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the
battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.
DANGER
•
•
•
•
•
Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to
avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such
as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack
in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chainnecklace or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited,
excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heat
or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metal
objects to heat up.
Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function
is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other
heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature,
an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and
the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet by
other means!
If the battery becomes wet, wipe it off with a dry towel before
use. If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery
may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal
chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
DANGER
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct
sunlight!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal
chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Use only the specified charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage
or current over regulated value, or with a remodelled charger),
it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat
or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery’s
protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an
abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety
function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large
amount of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
DANGER
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery
pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating
equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If
the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be
reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes,
wash your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible,
without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If
left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified
time!
If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the
regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high
pressure container!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!
If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor),
immediately remove it from flammable areas. Electrolyte
leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the
battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.
Do not use an abnormal battery!
If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different
coloring, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason,
remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not
use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
■ Using the Li-ion Battery Pack
•
•
•
Charge the battery pack before using it.
To keep the battery discharge at a minimum, remove the
battery pack from the equipment when it is not in use. Store
the battery pack in a cool and dry location.
When storing the battery pack for a long period:
1 Remove the battery pack from the equipment.
2 Discharge the battery pack, if possible.
3 Store the battery pack in a cool (below 25°C/ 77°F) and dry
location.
■ Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack
•
•
•
•
•
As the battery pack is charged and discharged repeatedly, the
battery capacity decreases.
Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery pack degrades.
It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack in cooler
areas.
The life of battery pack is shortened when it is charged and
discharged in hotter areas. When the battery pack is stored in
a hot location, the battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave
the battery pack in vehicles or near heating appliances.
When the battery pack operating time becomes short, even
if it is fully charged, replace the battery pack. Continuing to
charge and discharge the battery pack may result in electrolyte
leakage.

When you hear a caller’s voice, readjust the volume as
necessary.
•
•
If the vibrator function is on, the transceiver will vibrate when a
call is received.
If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel,
you will hear a call only if the signal tone matches the tone set
up on your transceiver.
Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls.
This will prevent you from listening to unwanted calls. It does
not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard
by transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to
“SIGNALING” on page 39 for details.
22
■ Receiving Group Calls (P25)
When you receive a group call on a Conventional channel
and the received group ID matches the ID set up on your
transceiver, you can hear the caller’s voice.
When you receive a group call on a Trunking channel, the
transceiver automatically switches to the traffic channel to
receive the call.

SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver
channels. While scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal
on each channel and only stops on a channel if a signal is
present.
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.
•
•
•
icon appears on
On K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 model transceivers, the
the display.
The channels included in the scan list are scanned.
When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that
channel. The transceiver will remain on the busy channel until
the signal is no longer present. When the signal “drops out”, the
transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan
resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a
signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain
on the same channel.
To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.
Note: In order for Scan to operate, there must be at least 2
channels added to the scanning sequence. If there are less
channels than this, Scan will not operate.
TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT
If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete function, each
channel can be locked out of the scan sequence manually.
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels
from the scanning sequence by selecting them and pressing
the Scan Delete key.
•
•
On K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 model transceivers, the
icon no longer
appears on the display for that channel.
The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is
ended and restarted, the channels will reset and the channel will
again be in the scanning sequence.
24
PRIORITY SCAN
A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority
Scan to function.
When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will
automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is
received on it, even if a call is being received on a normal
channel.
When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given
precedence over Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on
Priority channel 1 while a call is already on Priority
channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority
channel 1.
•
On K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 model transceivers, “P1” appears on the
display when the channel is Priority channel 1, “P2” appears when
the channel is Priority channel 2, and “PP” appears when the
channel is both Priority channel 1 and Priority channel 2.
SCAN REVERT
The Scan Revert channel is the channel selected when you
press the PTT switch to transmit during scan. Your dealer can
program one of the following Scan Revert channels:
• Selected: The last channel selected is assigned as the
new revert channel.
• Selected + Talkback: If the channel has been changed,
the newly selected channel is assigned as the new revert
channel. The transceiver “talks back” on the current
channel.
• Priority 1/ Priority 2: If your dealer has programmed a
Priority channel (either Priority 1 or Priority 2), this channel
is the revert zone and channel.
• Priority 1 + Talkback/ Priority2 + Talkback: If your
dealer has programmed a Priority channel (either Priority 1
or Priority 2), this channel is the revert zone and channel.
The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive channel.
• Last Called: The last channel on which you made a call is
assigned as the new revert channel.

SIGNALING
Note: Signaling can be used only in Conventional FM Operation.
QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on
your transceiver channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a
sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear)
calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch
will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is
received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard
by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the
same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will
not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) these
calls. Although it may seem like you have your own private
channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your
calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
■ Operator Selectable Tone (OST) (K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 Models Only)
If a key has been programmed with Operator Selectable
Tone, you can reprogram the QT tone or DQT code on
each of your channels.
