22 When the function is activated, the transceiver will check whether there are calls on the channels that are set to be scanned. If a channel is tested to have signals on it, it will switch to this channel in order to receive voices (which channels can be scanned is programmed and set by dealers). Priority Scan This feature allows you to scan frequently used channel. Dealers can set priority channels by programming software. If you want more information, please contact the dealer. Without Priority Channel For example: When scanning six normal channels CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, it will take theorder as shown on the right figure. Normal channel scan With Priority Channel For example: When scanning five normal channels CH1,CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, in which the channel CH2 is set the priority, it will take the order as shown on the right. Priority channel san Scan On/Off Hold down the scan/call button (for less than 2 seconds), the transceiver will get into the scan mode. It will quit the mode if press the button one more time. Reply Option This option means whether you need to adopt the current channel that is being scanned to reply. When the reply option is choosed, it will use the channel at which the scanning stops to transmit your reply voices. Operation warning Car with an airbag In the car with an airbag, do not put the transceiver within the reach of the expansion of the airbag, because the airbag inflates with great force. If the transceiver put within the reach of expansion of the air bag, when the airbag inflates, the transceiver may be driven by the tremendous force generated, resulting in severe injuries inside the vehicle.

Shall not remove, install the battery or charge to the battery in these areas. Because of such gases in the spark will cause an explosion or fire resulting in casualties. Mentioned above with a potentially explosive gas areas include: Fuel zone, like the area below deck on boats, and the transmission or storage sites for fuel or chemical agents; places where air contains particles, like chemicals or such as straw, dust or metal powders. Areas contain potentially explosive gases will have general warning, but not all areas have this warning. 7
8 Fuse and blasting areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, please switch off your transceiver when get close to blasting areas and areas where deployed some detonators. Those places posted with the words to switch off wireless radio, you have to turn off it. Please observe all signs and instructions. To prevent the magnetization With weak external magnetic of transceiver speakers, please keep your transceiver larger than 10cm away from TV sets, computer monitors etc, to avoid being magnetized. The use of QT/DQT signaling sounds like giving you a personal channel, but as a matter of fact, your voices can still be heard by others if their walkie-talkies adopt the same QT/DQT signaling as you, or all of your walkie-talkies are simply without QT/DQT signaling. Power-saving Mode The feature can reduce the power consumption when no signal is received or no operation, such as button pressing, switch rotating, is going on. The feature is activated by dealers. In this mode, if there are 10 seconds without signal sending and receiving or button pressing, the transceiver will automatically go into sleep mode. if there are buttons being pressed or signals received, the transceiver will immediately be activated, and exit the power- saving mode. Power Adjustment It can be programmed through PC to adjust the power of the machine (done by dealers). Can also hold down the MONI key when power on to switch high low power. When you hear a tick sound it is high power, 2 tick sounds heard it is low power. Reverse Function It can be programmed by PC to set the reverse function(setting by dealers).Also could hold down the PTT button to switch on/off reverse function when power on.The reverse function will be on when you hear a tick sound,and it will be off when you hear two tick sounds . Timeout Ban Overtime ban is designed to prevent any caller occupy the channel for too long, as well as to avoid any damage resulting from prolonged transmissions. If a transmssion lasts for a time that is more than the dealer programmed, the walkie-talkie will stop and make a warning tone. To stop the warning tone, please release the PTT button. Scanning This featue is designed to catch signals on all channels. Press the scan/call button (press and hold for less than 2 seconds), the LED indicator flashes green, it will scan all the channels in the scan queue one by one in order. When a channel receives a signal, the LED indicator will turn green for long. 21
20 Volume Adjustment As this type of transceiver has an auto-squelch function, you will hear nothing when the power is turned on and no call is received. You can hold down the MONI button, and then turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume, or counterclockwise to decrease it. Monitoring To monitor, you need just hold down the MONI button and adjust the channel background noise to a comfortable level by rotating the PWR/VOL knob. It can directly monitor the channel you care without having to wait for your call, as long as the MONI button has been holded down. Transmitting First of all, hold down the MONI button and listen for a while to confirm the channel you wanted is not busy, and then speak normally to the microphone at the front of the transceiver, while holding down the PTT button. The transmission indicator turns red when the PTT button is pressed. If you speaks too loud or with your mouth getting too close with the microphone, it may distort the sound and reduce the signal clarity on the receiving side. Release the PTT button to listen to the partner's voices. Receiving Release PTT key, transceiver enter the receiving mode, the status indicator lights green. Please adjust the volume appropriately to achieve the best listening effect. QT/DQT QT/DQT signaling is mainly used to avoid receiving irrelated signals on the same channel. If QT/DQT signaling is set, it can only receive the calls of those who share the same channel and have the same QT/DQT signaling, but if QT/DQT signaling is not set, you will receive all the calls on the channel. Dealers can preset QT/DQT signaling for a channel. Notes Antenna caution Not use the handheld transceiver with damaged antenna. It will cause skin mild burns if touch the damaged antenna. Battery If some of your body exposed conductive material contact the battery outside terminals, it will cause damage to property, or burns on human body.
