BATTERY INFORMATION
NOTE: when charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the indicating lamp will not
turn into green to show the fully charged status. Only when the transceiver is switched off, can the
lamp indicate normally. The transceiver consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger can
not detect the voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge battery in
constant voltage and fail to indicate correctly whether the battery has been charged fully.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Normal Charging Tips
Self- Examination:1. When charging, orange light twinkles for 1 second and goes out, which means
the charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light
remains orange or the red light twinkles, it means the charger can not pass its self-examination or
charge the battery.
Trickle Pre-Charging:2. If red light twinkles when battery is inserted into the charger, it means the
remnant voltage is low and the charger is trickle-charging the battery (Pre-Charging Status). The
charger will automatically turn into normal charging when the battery reaches a certain electric
quantity, And if the red light stops twinkling, it means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric
quantity, the charger will charge the battery normally.
NOTE:
Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Status) time can not beyond 30 minutes. If the indicating lamp still
twinkles after 30-minute trickle-charging, it means that the charger can not charge the battery. Please
check whether the battery or charger is damaged.

software.
Optional Signaling
Users can enable or disable the Optional Signaling in every channel by programming software.
This Signaling function is similar to CTCSS/DCS which embodies functions as Selective Call, Group
Call, All Call, PTT ID, and Remotely stun and Waken.
1. PTT ID: If current channel is edited with PTT ID, the transceiver will send transmitting ID when
pressing or releasing PTT key.
You can set group call wildcard for each group2. by programming software . (DTMF character A.
B.C.D.*** or “#”).
The caller can call different groups by sending different group call codes. When the receiving
party receives a valid ID code, one or all of the characters would be replaced by wildcard characters
and the receiving part can realize all call, group call or selective call. It is much easy and exible to
realize all call, group call and etc by using group call code.
For example:
Group code –"C"
Radio A Radio B Radio C Radio D
ID code of the receiving party is 123 223 235 355.
If the calling party uses "C23" to call, Radio A and Radio B will receive the call.
If the calling party uses"CC5" to call, Radio C and Radio D will receive the call.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Qixiang radio generates RF electromagnetic en-ergy during
transmit mode. 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,
Warning and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is
not intended for use by the “General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your Quansheng radio complies with the following
Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels
and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1–1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels
with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3–1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for
the Measurement of Potential y Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields— RF and Microwave.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere
to the following
CAUTION 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 radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer
for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”).
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red.
You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
• ALWAYS use Qixiang authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips,
speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded. Body-worn operations are restricted to
belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly
and that provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna, and
the user's body. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold
the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side. The
information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her
aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC
RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Qixiang 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 device complies with Part 90 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must except any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
