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.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference o radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measure:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This 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

BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Operation
The 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 Type
Please 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 Battery
Do 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.
06
How to Charge
Plug 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 INFORMATION
WARNING:
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. ▲

NOTE: When charging a powered-on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn green to
show 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 battery
has been fully charged.

How to Store the Battery
If 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 Prompt
Self- 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.
