CAUTIONS transceivers are designed with advanced technology and the following tips will be helpful for the safe usage of this transceiver and maintaining warranty.1. Keep the transceiver and accessories away from children.2. Do not open or modify the transceiver in any way.3. Use only factory approved battery and charger to avoid damage.4. Use only factory approved antenna to prevent damage and ensure proper communication distance.5. Avoid exposing the radio to sunshine for long periods or storing it in hot places. High temperatures will shorten the life of electronic devices and may cause res.6. Avoid storing the radio in dusty, dirty or damp areas. Remove battery during long storage periods.7. Keep the radio dry. Do not wash radio with harsh chemicals or detergents.8. Do not transmit without an antenna.9. When using this transceiver, we recommend transmitting for 1 minute then receiving for 4 minutes. Continuously transmitting for a long time on high power may heat the back of the transceiver. Do not place the transceiver's hot back close to any plastics.10. If any abnormal smell or smoke comes from the transceiver, turn off the power, remove the battery and contact your local dealer.

03This transceiver is a high performance amateur transceiver with dual band, dual standby, dual display and other functions. Depending on your need, you can set the radio to operate as an Amateur Transceiver or Professional Transceiver. There are 3 levels of operation menu to set functions as you need. It is easy and convenient.Operation Mode:1. Please refer to "Display Mode" in Page 42.Amateur Transceiver Mode:2. Except setting as CH mode, others considered as Amateur transceiver mode. Under this mode, press key to switch between Channel mode and VFO.Frequency + Channel mode: A. At this mode, When set display as "FREQ", it enters into Frequency+Channel mode, new setting of channel operation and shortcut operation can be temporarily used by user. Once the radio is turned off or switched to another channel, the temporary setting will be erased and back to initial settings.(As pic 1)Channel+Name Tag Mode:B. When set display as "NAME", it enters into Channel+Name Tag Mode. At this mode, it will display corresponding channel name when the current channel is edited with name. Otherwise, it will display frequency + channel. Its operations are the same as frequency + channel mode. (As pic 2)VFO Mode(Frequency mode): C. This mode shows only frequency on the display. Shortcut operation and Channel setting will be changed & stored as the latest value permanently. Once the radio is turned off or changed to new OPERATION MODE (Pic 1)(Pic 2)(Pic 3)(Pic 4)
04VFO frequency, the value is remained until next change.(As pic 3)Under every mode, background operations can be changed and saved.3. OPERATION MODE
05BATTERY INFORMATIONCharging OperationThe battery is not charged at the factory, please charge it before use. Charging the battery for the rst time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery to its normal operating capacity. After fully repeating the charge/ discharge cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach the best performance. The battery life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery.Battery Charger TypePlease use our company's designated charger, other models may cause explosion and injure people. After installing the battery, if the radio red light twinkles and remind changing battery, please charge the battery.Notice for Charging BatteryDo not short circuit the charger. Never attempt to remove the battery case or modify it in any way. ▲The ambient temperature should be between 5 ▲℃ and 40℃ when charging. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.Always switch off the transceiver before charging the battery, otherwise it will interfere with correct ▲charging.To avoid interfering the charging procedure, please do not cut off the power or take out the battery ▲during charging.Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery or ▲damage the battery.
06How to ChargePlug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, then plug the 1. cable of AC adaptor into the DC jack, the indicator lights orange for 1s and turns into GREEN---waits to charge.Slide the battery or transceiver with battery into the 2. charger; make sure the battery terminals are in contact with the charging terminals. LED turns into twinkling RED---pre-charging begins.Pre-charging for about 5 minutes, LED twinkles stop 3. then charging begins.It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, 4. when LED turns into GREEN— full charged.BATTERY INFORMATIONWARNING:When keys, coins, ornamental chains and other conductive metals make contact with the battery terminals, the battery may cause fire or physical harm. If the battery terminals short circuit, it will generate a lot of heat and possible fire, so please be careful when you handle or use the battery, please store battery and/or radio in an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal container.Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. ▲Ac Input
07NOTE: When charging a powered-on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn green toshow the full charge status. Only when the transceiver is off, can the LED indicate normally.When the transceiver is powered on, it will consume energy and the charger cannot indicate if the batteryhas been fully charged.BATTERY INFORMATIONSTATUS self-examinewhen power on (No battery) Pre-charging ChargenormallyFullCharged TroubleLED Orange(for 1 second) Green Red light twinklesfor 5 minutes Red Green Red twinklesfor a long timeCharging Process:5.

08How to Store the BatteryIf the battery needs to be stored for a long 1. period, the battery should be removed from the radio. It's state of charge should be 50-100% of full charge.It should be kept in low temperature, dry 2. environment.To keep away from hot places and direct 3. sunlight.Charging PromptSelf- examination: When charging, ORANGE light twinkles for 1 second and goes out. That means the 1. 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: When the battery has been inserted into the charger and red light twinkles, which 2. means the remnant voltage is low, the charger trickle charges the battery (pre-charging status), until the battery reaches a certain electric quantity, then the charger automatically turns to normal charging. If the red light stops twinkling, it means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric quantity, and the charger will charge the battery normally.BATTERY INFORMATION NOTE:The time for Trickle pre-charging should not exceed 30 min. If after 30 min, the red indicator is still twinkling, it means it is unable to charge battery. Please kindly check battery and charger.WARNING▲Do not short circuit battery terminals.▲Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.▲Never assemble the battery in dangerous surroundings, spark may cause explosion.▲Do not put the battery in hot environment or throw it into fire, it may also cause explosion.
09INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONMatch the three grooves of the battery pack with the corresponding 1. guides on the back of the transceiver and push.
