Press the preprogrammed High/Low Power Switch button to switch the current channel power between high and low. ● Battery Check Press the preprogrammed Battery Check button, the current battery power level can be heard. There are four levels in all. Level 4 indicates that the battery power is full, and level 1 indicates that the battery power is low. ● Squelch Adjust Press the preprogrammed Squelch Adjust button to change the current squelch level, and the squelch level after the change can be heard. 6. Scan Function (this function can be disabled by the dealer) If the scan function is enabled, you can press the preprogrammed Scan button to start scanning and press it again to stop scanning. Explanations: ● After scan pauses, there are two ways to resume scanning: 1. Time operate: After pausing on an active channel, the radio will resume scanning after a preprogrammed delay. The scan delay time can be preset from 0.5 to 5 seconds. 2. Carrier operate: After pausing on an active channel, the radio will resume scanning after a preprogrammed delay after the channel becomes inactive. The scan delay time can be preset from 0.5 to 5 seconds. ● The revert channel during scan can be designated through PC software. There are following options available: 1. Last Rx channel: When pressing the PTT button during scanning, the radio will transmit from the last channel that received a call. 2. Selected: When pressing the PTT button during scanning, the radio will transmit from the selected channel. 3. Priority channel (the priority channel must be set) When pressing the PTT button during scanning, the radio will transmit from the priority channel in the scan list. 4. Last Tx channel: When pressing the PTT button during scanning, the radio will transmit from the last channel that transmits signals. 7. Auxiliary Functions 7.1 Time-Out Timer (TOT) 1) TOT Function The time-out-timer can prevent the user from continuously talking overlong and prevent the radio from heating due to continuous transmitting. If you continuously transmit longer than the preset TOT time, the radio will make an alert tone and stop transmitting. To stop the warning tone, release the PTT button. 2) TOT Pre-alert
The radio will make an alert tone in advance before the TOT terminates the transmission. After the alert tone, when the time of transmission exceeds the preset time, the TOT timer will act. 3) TOT Rekey Time A period in which the radio is forbidden to transmit after its overtime activity. During the period, if the PTT button is pressed, an alert tone will be sounded, and the transmission is forbidden. 4) TOT Reset Time The time delay from releasing the PTT button to the resetting of the timer is limited. The countdown will go on if the time after releasing the PTT key is shorter than the reset time. 7.2 Busy Channel Lockout (BCL) If the channel on which a user attempts to transmit is being used by another party, BCL function restricts the transmission in order to avoid interfering with the other parties' communication, and the radio will make an alert tone, and returns to the receiving state. 7.3 Battery Saving The battery saving function can reduce power consumption of the radio when no signal is received and no operation is conducted (no button is pressed and no knob is turned). If the radio hasn't receive any signal or no operation is being conducted for 16 seconds, the radio will enter Battery Saving Mode. When a signal is received or any operation occurs, the radio will exit the Battery Saving Mode automatically. 7.4 Low Battery Warning When the battery voltage drops too low while transmitting, the LED flashes red, low battery warning tone sounds, and the radio stops transmitting. You need to recharge or change the battery. 7.5 Monitor When there is no signal received, the radio's squelch circuit will mute the speaker automatically so that the background noise will not be heard by the user. You can press and hold the preprogrammed Monitor button to open squelch manually. This function is especially useful when you need to adjust the volume level or to receive weak signals. When the Monitor button is pressed and held, the LED indicator lights green, and the radio is in the monitoring state. 7.6 CTCSS/DCS CTCSS/DCS tones may have been pre-programmed on some radio channels. A CTCSS/DCS tone is a sub-audible tone, which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other irrelevant parties who are using the same channel. When you receive a signal that has a tone different from the one set on your radio, you will not hear the signal. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be received by parties whose CTCSS/DCS tones are the same as yours. Note: Using a CTCSS/DCS channel doesn’t mean your calls are private. If other parties’ CTCSS/DCS tones are identical with yours, they can hear your calls.
7.7 PTT ID PTT ID uses DTMF code. The preset DTMF sequence can be sent at the beginning of the transmission or at the end of the transmission. It is used to notify the identity of the callers to the monitoring center, or used to activate the repeater. The encoder sequence and the encoder type can be set for each channel. There are 16 groups of sequences for your selection. PTT ID Keydown Code: The radio will send DTMF sequence when the PTT button is pressed. PTT ID Dekey Code: The radio will send DTMF sequence when the PTT button is released. 8. Troubleshooting No. Problem Causes and Solutions 1 The radio cannot be switched on or no display after being switched on. * The battery power may be insufficient.
