Thank you for choosing this vehicle transceiver,
always provides high quality products, And this transceiver is no
exception. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you will find that
is pursuing "user friendliness". For example, each time you
change the menu no. in Menu mode, you will see a text message on the
GLVSOD\WKDWOHWV\RXNQRZZKDW\RXDUHFRQ¿JXULQJ
Though friendly design for user, this transceiver is technically
complicated and some features may be new to you. Consider this
manual to be a personal tutorial from the designers, allow the manual to
guide you through the learning process now, then act as a reference in
the coming years.
Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving, it is
dangerous.
This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V DC power supply. Don't use
a 24V battery to power on the transceiver.
Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty, humid or wet
areas, nor unstable surfaces.
Please keep it away from interferential
devices (such as TV, generator etc.).
Do not expose the transceiver to long
periods of direct sunlight nor place it close
to heating appliances.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected
coming from the transceiver, turn OFF the
power immediately. Contact an Anytone
service station or your dealer.
Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods; the
transceiver may overheat.

To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your
vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the
vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position
so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your
vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct
sunlight.
Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-

Mobile Operation
In many cars,the cigar-lighter plug is always powered. If this is the case, you
cannot use it for the ignition key on/off function.
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V
vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current
to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during
transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.
When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON(Start) position with
7.
the radio turned off, the power switch illuminates. The illumination
will be turned off when the ignition key is turned to the off position.
Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
1.
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as
some
cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.
The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from
heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition
system/ cables.
After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
2.
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to
reinforce whole cable.
In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down

connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the
4.
power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+)
terminal and black connects to the negative (-) terminal.
Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even if
the
cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse
holders from the cable.
Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.

Initial Installation
Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver, be sure to switch
the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.
Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all
connections.
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will
need a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included), power
supply( QRP-01) as optional accessories. Please contact local dealer
to require.
The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12A.
Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply
1.
and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black:
negative).
Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a
regulated power supply.
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.
To turn on the unit, press the power switch manually while it is
illuminated. (While ignition key is at ACC or ON position)
When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON position with the
8.
radio's power switch on, the unit turns on automatically and the
power switch will be lit. Turn the ignition key to OFF position or
manually turn the power switch off to shut down the radio.
Using extra cable, power consumption:5MAH.

REPLACING FUSES
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses
continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your autho-
rized dealer or an authorized servi-
cecenter for assistance.
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
After connecting the transceiver to the power supply, the supply voltage
can be displayed on LCD by pressing the
FUNC
key together with the
SCAN
key.
The display immediately changes as the voltage supply changes, It also
displays voltage during transmission.
The transceiver will return to its normal operation when the power is
switched ON or repeat above operation.

your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct
installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna
system and its installation are given careful attention.

This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmission.
This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,
meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by
individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such
hazards.This radio is NOT intended for use by the “GeneralPopulation”
in an uncontrolled environment.
For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure
Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the
following two conditions:
1.The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at
a distance of 76.6 centimeters or more between the transmitting
antenna of this device and any persons during operation.For small
vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at
any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 76.6
centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance
is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 76.6
centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect
against exposure to bystanders.
&$87,21
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within
the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the
following guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this
UDGLRE\WKHPDQXIDFWXUHURUDQDQWHQQD VSHFL¿FDOO\DXWKRUL]HGE\WKH
manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% during the time of employment
(50% duty cycle or less). Transmitting excessive amount of time can
cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. Please
carefully read this instruction manual to learn how to transmit and stop
transmitting before starting to use it.
(OHFWURPDJQHWLF,QWHUIHUHQFH&RPSDWLELOLW\
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to
do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

This product is used in situations that users are exposed to RF as
consequence of their employment provided those users are fully aware
of the potential RF hazards and can exercise control over their exposure.
This transceiver is NOT ATEX approved and NOT intended for the use
in hazardous explosive atmospheres.
