3. Unplug the AC. adapter from AC outlet after the battery is fully charged.
Caution: Do not overcharge the battery pack, it may shorten the useful life of your battery pack.
CONNECTlNlG THE ANTENNA
Follow these steps to attach the supplied rubber duck antenna to your transceiver.
1. Align the slots around the antenna‘s connector with the tabs on the antenna jack on the top of
the transceiver.
2. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the antenna's bass clockwise until it locks into
place.
Connecting an Optlonal Antenna
Although the supplied rubber duck antenna provides excellent local reception. you can connect
an optional external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna to your transceiver for better
reception of weak signals. The antenna jack on the top of the transceiver makes it easy to use the
transceiver with a variety of antennas. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas.
USING THE BELT CLIP
The supplied belt clip lets you easily clip the transceiver to your belt.
Slide the belt clip onto the tab at the back of the transceiver until it clicks, To remove the clip, pull
up on the middle tab of the clip and slide down.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONEIEXTERNAL SPEAKER
To listen privately or to hear better in a large area such as a warehouse. you can pull up the
rubber cover on the EAR and WC jacks, then plug a monaural earphone or an external speaker
with a 3,5mm plug (not supplied) into the EAR jack on the side ofthe tiansceiver. This
automatically disconnects the built-in speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.
- Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening,
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
- Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
0 Once you set the volume do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level
that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not use an earphone with your transceiver when operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle
in or near traffic. Doing so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
If you use an earphone with your transceiver while riding a bicycle, be very careful. Do not listen
to a continuous broadcast. Even though some earphones let you hear some outside sounds
when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
USING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER/MICROPHONE
An external speaker/microphone can make it easier to use the transceiver when you clip it to your
belt, so you do not have to lift the transceiver to your mum eaoh time you transmit. Lift up the
rubber cover on the EAR and MIC jacks, and plug the speaker/microphone’s plug into the EAR
jack and the MIC jack on the side of the transceiver. This automatically disconnects the
transceiver's built-in speaker and microphone
SETTING FREQUENCY OPTIONS
Before you can use your transceiver, you must set your transceiver to a UHF business band
frequency you have a llcense to use. Then you can select a preset quiet tone CTCSS
(Continuous Tone Control Squelch System) frequency and set your transceiver to use it.
Here is what you reed to do to set your transceiver to use a business band frequency and quiet
tone.
1. Set your transceiver to a UHF business band frequency. (See "Setting a UHF Buslness Band
Frequency")
2. Set the DIP switches for a quiet tone frequency (See “Using a Quiet Tone Frequency"),
3. Set your transceiver to that qulet tone frequency.
You can select one quiet tone frequency at a time. If you do not want to use a quiet tone
frequency. skip Steps 2-3 above.
SETTING A IJHF BUSINESS BAND FREQUENCY
There are eight UHF business band frequencres available in your transceiver.
464.50 MHZ (Brown Dot)
464.550 MHZ (Yellow Dot)
467.7825 MHZ (J Dot)
467.8125 MHZ (K Dot)
467.850 MHz (Silver Star)
467.875 MHz (Gold Star)
467.900 MHZ (Red Star)
467.925 MHZ (Blue Star)
Note: Some manufacturers identify some business band frequencies by color. These “Dot"
frequencies are shown above.
Channel A is preset to 464.50 MHz, and Channel B is preset to 464.550 MHz. You can set
Channel A or B to other frequencies listed above.
1. Turn VOLUME/OFF fully counterclockwise to tum off the transceiver.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover. Then lift up the plastic cover marked QUIET.
Note: Be sure the battery pack is connected.
3. Hold down P'l‘l' and MON while turning on the radio. The transceiver beeps once.
4. Press MON once. The transceiver beeps once.
5. Rotate CHANNEL A/B to select the channel you want to set.
6. Choose UHF dot frequency from the table as below. Then use a pointed object such as a
straightened paper clip to set the position of each DIP switch to 1 (up) or 0 (down)
corresponding to the setting for that dot frequency code.

7. Press MON once.
8. Turn the transceiver off then on. If the dip switch setting is correct, the transceiver beeps
three times. If the dip switch setting incorrect, the transceiver beeps twice.
If you want to set your transceiver to a UHF business band frequency other than the eight
frequencies listed above, you can take your transceiver to an authorized facility to set your
transceiver to a frequency you have a license to use.
ABOUT QUIET TONE
Quiet tone helps eliminate interference between different users of the same frequency. letting you
talk and listen to people who are using other transceivers set to the same frequency and quiet
tone code. This is like having a sub-channel within a channel, giving you greater communication
flexibility. When you set a quiet tone code — there are 38 to choose from — and turn on your
transceiver’s quiet tone, the transceiver transmits a tone with your liansrnission, letting you
communicate with anyone who has a transceiver set to the same frequency and code. This tone
is too low for you to hear, but other transceivers can detect it.
If quiet tone is turned on and set to the same tone on the receiving transceiver, it only receives
those transmissions that include the tone. Iftwo different groups operate transceivers in the same
area on the same frequency, they do not hear each other's broadcast if they both use quiet tone
and each select a different quiet tone.
USING A QUIET TONE FREQUENCY
Follow these steps to set your transceiver to a quiet tone frequency.
1. Turn VOLUME/OFF fully counterclockwise to turn off the transceiver.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover. Then lift up the plastic cover marked QUIET.
3. Choose a quiet tone code from the table as below. Then use a pointed object such as a
straightened paper clip to set the position of each DIP switch to 1 (up) or 0 (down)
corresponding to the setting for that quiet tone code.

4. Replace the plastic cover and the battery compartment cover. Then turn VOLUME/OFF
clockwise until it clicks. The transceiver sem the quiet tone code.
Note: If the dip switch setting is not listed in the table above, it results in no tone.
OPERATION
(Front View IIIus showiM all switches, buttons and iacks)
Note: You can only communicate with anomer transceiver that is using the same channel and/or
the same quiet tone code as your transceiver.
1. Turn VOLUME/OFF clockwise to turn on the transceiver. The TX/BATT indicator flashes
green every second.
2 Rotate CHANNEL/NB to select the preset channel A or B,
at To transmit, hold down PT'I'. Then hold the transceiver about 3 inches from your mouth and
speak slowly in a normal voice. The TX/BATT indicator lights green. Release PTl' when you
finish your transmission.
Note: If you hold down PTT for more than 2 minutes. the transceiver automatically stops
transmission and sounds an alert tone. The TX/BA'I'I’ indicator flashes green,
4. To hear everything happens on the channel, even the weak transmission, press MON,
Release MON to turn the auto-squelch back on.
5. To turn off the transceiver, turn VOLUME/OFF counterclockwise.
Note: When you are using disabled channels, the transceiver beeps periodically when you press
P'I'l' or MON.
OPERATIONAL HINTS
Your transceiver’s range varies depending on factors such as position. terrain. and battery
condition. Buildings absorb transmitted signals and, it they contain metal. might completely block
the signals. Trees and heavy cloud formations have a similar effect. though not as severe. If you
are near a lake or the ocean. you might get excellent range.
To ensure maximum range, operate the transceiver with the battery pack fully charged. As the
voltage decreases, the range decreases.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy your transceiver for a long time:
- Keep the transceiver dry, If it gets wet. wipe it dry immediately.
* Use and store the transceiver only in normal temperature environments.
- Handle the transceiver gently and carefully. Do not drop it.
- Keep the transceiver away from dust and dirt.
- Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasionallym keep it looking new,
Modifying or tampering with the transceivers internal components can cause malfunction and
invalidate its warranty. If your transceiver is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
