- 14 - 1． Open the programming software，choose your target squelch lever in from 1 – 9. The lever is higher, the disturbance is less, but it has some influence on the working distance 2． The squelch system can eliminate the back noise when it is not receiving signals. It not only makes the standby state quiet but also can save power in standby state obviously. VOX function 1．Open the programming software, and select in . The VOX levers are 1～9，the lever is higher, the sensitivity is better. 2．VOX delay ，. The transceiver return to receive mode after calling, if part of message can not be sent correctly, you can set the VOX delay to avoid it.
- 15 - Time-out timer 1. Open the programming software, and choose the target time in . The aim of the time-out timer is to avoid any caller occupying the frequency too long and damages by long- time launch. 2．You can set the time-out timer by programming software from”closed,30s,60s,90s,120s,150s,180s,...600s”. If you continually launch longer than the set time, the transceiver will stop launching and “bibi: sound appeared. You can lose the 【PTT】 and hold it again to resume. Channel report Open the programming software to chose the sound language in . The selections
- 16 - are: closed, Chinese and English. If you choose the Chinese/ English, to turn the channel snob when the transceiver is power-on, it will report the current channel; if you choose the closed, the transceiver won’t report the channel. Scan The distributor and manufacturer can set the scan function by PC software, the option on the software is “Scan”. When scan function is ON, there’re scan function options behind each channel number. When the scan function is set to be ON, the channel can be scanned automatically in standby state, and you can talk on this channel while there’s signal. Rotate the channel selector to channel 16 to activate the scan function, and then those channels which set automatic scan will be
- 17 - activated by itself. For instance, if the scan function of channel 3,5,7 was activated by PC software programming, when you rotate the channel selector to channel 16, the transceiver will scan channel 3,5,7,16, when receive signal from one of these four channels, it will stop scanning, and talk on this channel. It’s normal that it will be delayed when you open the speaker after activating the scan function, the delay time is related to the number of channels which set scan function. 1． It can be set in , after setting, it can monitor the prior channel even the transceiver is not using the prior channel. When there is signal in prior channel, it will turn to the prior
- 18 - channel at once. Busy channel lock 1．Open the programming software to choose the function in There are close, CTCSS and carrier as choices. Only when the channel has set the CTCSS, it allows choosing CTCSS busy channel lock 2．CTCSS busy lock: it won’t stop transmitting when there is SQ and no QT/DQT. When receive both SQ and QT/DQT, it will stop transmitting. Carrier busy lock: It stop transmitting when receiving SQ. Power-save function 1．Open the software to select if open the power-save function in . when choosing the “√”,it means open the function。
- 19 - FM-radio control Open the software to select if using the FM-radio function in . when it choose “ √ ”, it means open the function. FM-radio automatically returns when receiving signal 1．Open the software to select if use the function in . Choosing “√”means open the function. The FM-radio automatically exit when receiving signal if don’t do any choice. High and low power selection 1．Open the programming software and select the “transmitting power to choose the power which is suitable for your using channel. Wide and narrow band selection 1 Open the programming software and click
- 20 - “wide/narrow” to choose the suitable band for the current channel. CTCSS QT/ DCS DQT 1．Open the programming software，click the “receive dicate” and “transmit dicate” to choose the CTCSS QT/ DCS DQT for the current channel or close 2．If some channel has set the CTCSS/DCS signal, it can open the squelch only when using the same CTCSS or DCS signals. In the same way，it can receive your signal only when the QT/DQT signal mode is the same to yours. If people use different QT/DQT but the same channel to call you, the squelch cannot be open, only the green light to indicate.
- 21 - Operation Guide Transmit 1．Hold 【PTT】after the red light is on to talk and lose the button to stop.
