◆ Time-out Timer (TOT)
TOT timer:
Time-out timer can prevent any caller from occupying one certain channel for an extended period of the
time.
The radio is set with a continuously transmitting limit. If the radio is continuously transmitting longer than
the time preset by the dealer, the radio will stop transmitting and warning
TOT forbidden period:
A period in which the radio is forbidden to transmit after its overtime activity.
During the period, if the PTT key is pressed, there will be a warning tone, and transmitting is forbidden.
TOT pre-warning:
The pre-warning will sound before the TOT action.
After the sound of the warning, the timer will take action when the transmitting time has gone beyond
the limit.

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.

replay”.
◆ Transmit start/over signaling (PTT ID)
The identify signal of transmit start/over are used to maintain or disconnect some repeaters or phone
system.
“Transmit start” is used to connect routine repeaters and auxiliary facilities. If the ID transmitted is
matchable with that of the repeaters, the repeaters and auxiliary facilities are available.
“Transmit over” is used to disconnect routine repeaters and auxiliary facilities. If the ID transmitted is
matchable with that of the repeaters, the repeaters and auxiliary facilities are disconnected.
■ Problems and troubleshooting
No. Problems Solution
1 No display
after switched on.
A．Battery power may be insufficient. Recharge or replace the
battery pack.
B．The power switch may be broken, replace the switch.
C．CPU may be broken, replace the IC.
D．Regulator tube Q45 may be broken，replace the IC.
2 Phase locked loop
unlocked （with “tick,
tick” ）
A．Phase locked loop Crystal Oscillator X1 may be broken,
replace it.
B．Oscillator tube may be broken, replace it.
C．Phase locked loop IC2 may be broken，replace the IC.
3 Cannot transmit. A． The frequencies of both users are not the same, select the
same frequency channel again.

Page 27 of 30
B．The CTCSS/DCS signaling of both users are not the same,
set it with PC.
C．Beyond the efficient communication range.
4 No signal A．Make sure the antenna is well connected.
B．Low sensibility, trimming “computer test mode”。
C．HF amplifier may be broken, replace it.
D．The squelch level is too high, which makes the squelch
unable to switch on, reset it by PC.
E．Mixer tube Q19 may be broken, replace the tube.
F．Frequency Modulation IC4 may be broken, replace the IC.
5 The transmitting red
light is on, but no
voice is heard
A．Power-amplifier tube, no power output, replace the tube.
B．Replace the microphone if it is broken.
C．Operational Amplifier IC14 may be broken, replace it.
6 Receiving green light
is on, but no voice is
heard
A．Replace the speaker if it is broken.
B．Audio power amplifier IC9 may be broken, replace it.
C．Switch Tube Q48 may be broken, replace it.
D．Operational Amplifier IC6 may be broken, replace it..
7 Abnormal
programming
A．Make sure the wires are well connected.
B．Abnormal output of the RS-232 serial port of the computer,
check the computer .
C．Abnormal connection of MIC and SPK jack, check the jack.
