It is dust resistant and rated to withstand powerful jets of water projected by a nozzle (12.5 mm) against enclosure from any direction for a limited period. This radio is resistant to dust and water only while the battery is properly installed and locked in place with no gaps and the accessory port is completely sealed with the accessory port cover. Use of a headset or other accessory will negate the dust and waterproofing features of this radio. The KG-935G is NOT submersible. Do not attempt to operate this radio if it has been submerged. The radio charger is NOT dust or waterproof. Charge the radio only under dry conditions. DO NOT charge the radio when it is wet. DO NOT expose the radio and charger to wet environments when charging. 18 Getting Started Installing and Removing the Battery The lithium-ion battery pack included with the radio is not fully charged out of the box. It is recommended to charge it before using the radio for the first time. Installing the Battery Slide the battery pack up along the back of the radio until it stops. Then push the bottom of the battery towards the radio until it clicks into place. Removing the Battery Slide the release latch at the bottom of the battery pack in the direction of the arrow. While holding the release latch in place, pull the battery pack away from the radio. 19 Getting Started Charging the Battery The KG-935G includes an intelligent desktop charger. It can charge the battery pack with or without the radio attached. 1. Insert the AC plug into an available 100~240v outlet. The LED light on the charger base will flash red for 2-3 seconds. This indicates the charger is in standby mode. 2. Insert the battery or radio with the battery attached into the charger. The LED light on the charger will turn red to indicate the battery is charging. 3. When the LED light on the charger turns green, charging is complete. Note When a completely drained battery is first inserted into the charger, the charger will switch to trickle charge mode and the LED will flash red continuously. After 10-20 minutes the charger will switch to normal charging mode and the light will turn solid red. The LED will turn green when charging is complete. 20 Getting Started Antenna Information The KG-935G includes an antenna with an SMA female connector that is tuned for the GMRS frequency range of your radio. Aftermarket antennas may be used, provided they are tuned for the GMRS. Warning: To avoid injury, DO NOT attempt to operate your radio if the antenna is damaged or defective. DO NOT attempt to operate your radio without an antenna connected to the radio. Transmitting without an antenna or a correctly tuned antenna directly and properly connected to the radio may damage the radio and void the warranty. Installing the Belt Clip The belt clip attaches to the back of the radio with the two supplied screws. To install the belt clip, press it against the back of the unit and line up the screw holes. Insert each screw one at a time and tighten until there is no further resistance and the belt clip is firmly attached to the radio. Do not overtighten the screws. 21 Operation Introducing GMRS and the KG-935G The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a two way radio service that offers some powerful benefits. Users are allowed to transmit at high power, up to 50 watts, and use advanced equipment, such as repeaters that enable you to transmit over large areas. The GMRS requires the user to purchase a license, and a single license covers the user and their extended family for 10 years. The KG-935G was designed to allow you to take advantage of all that GMRS has to offer and more. Right out of the box this radio is configured to allow you to transmit on the 15 high powered GMRS simplex channels and 8 low powered simplex channels, as well as the 8 repeater channels. Read this chapter to learn the basics of using your new KG-935G radio, such as selecting a channel, transmitting and receiving, and scanning. 22 Operation Power On/Off and Adjusting Volume Rotate the volume knob clockwise to power on the radio. To power off the radio, rotate the volume knob counter-clockwise until a click is felt. To adjust the volume, use the volume knob when the radio is powered on. Turning the knob clockwise increases the volume, counter-clockwise decreases it. Your First Transmit Selecting a Channel When you power on your KG-935G for the first time, the display will likely show "GMRS-01" in the center with "CH-001" in the upper right corner. GMRS-01 is the name of the currently selected channel. CH-001 is the channel number. Turn the Channel Knob or the [UP] / [DOWN] arrow keys to navigate through the list of channels. As a licensed GMRS user you are allowed to use any of the channels. The channel you choose isn't as important as making sure it's the same channel the rest of your group is 23 Operation using. Be sure the channel you select is also supported by the equipment everyone else in your group is using. Most rules for GMRS are the same for all channels, but there are a few differences, particularly concerning output power. The GMRS channels on the KG-935G consist of 4 groups, with the following differences: Transmitting on GMRS channels 1-7 is limited to 5 watts of output power. These channels can only transmit at up to Mid power on the KG-935G. Transmitting on channels 8-14 is limited to a half watt of output power and is for use on Low power only. Prior to FCC changes made in 2017, these channels were part of the FRS service only and were not available for GMRS. Transmitting on channels 15-22 is allowed at High power on the KG-935G. These channels are authorized for up to 50 watts of output power. Prior to FCC changes made in 2017, this group was exclusive to GMRS (not part of FRS). Channels 23-30 receive on the same frequencies as channels 15-22, but transmit on a special offset frequency set aside for repeaters. See page 29 for more informa- 24 Operation tion about using the KG-935G with repeaters. Transmitting and Receiving With a channel selected, the radio is actively "listening" for an incoming signal on that channel. When a signal is detected, the transmission will be heard through the radio's speaker. Please note, the Squelch setting (page 48) determines how strong a signal needs to be in order to be detected. To transmit, first be sure the channel is clear and then hold the radio a few inches from your mouth. Hold down the PTT button on the side while talking and release the PTT when finished. For best performance and clarity of transmission, position the radio upright with the front of the radio facing you, hold it several inches away from your mouth and speak directly into the microphone during transmission. Dual Display: Using Areas "A" and "B" The KG-935G is two radios in one! The dual display function allows you to monitor 25 Operation two channels at the same time. While this may sound complex, the KG-935G is designed to make this powerful feature easy to use. The display is divided in half with the top half referred to as "Area A" and the bottom half referred to as "Area B". Each area controls a separate radio. The current primary area will be larger, occupying about two-thirds of the screen. Depending on the current mode, it may include a MAIN icon to the right of the frequency or channel to indicate which area is primary. When you perform an operation on the radio, such as changing channels or transmitting, that operation is performed on the currently active area. Turning the Dual Display On and Off The dual display is off by default on the KG-935G. Instead of a frequency or channel name, the text "KG-935G" will be displayed in the inactive area when the dual display is off. Use the [TDR] key on the keypad to toggle between a single and dual display. Changing the Primary Area With Dual Display on, press the [BAND] key on the keypad to switch the primary area. 26 Operation With Dual Display off, pressing the [BAND] key will switch the currently active area as well, but will also turn off the previously active area. For example, with Area "A" on and Area "B" off, pressing [BAND] would turn on Area "B" and turn off Area "A". Important! When the A or B area of the screen is the larger, dominate area, this indicates that area is the Primary and the other area is the secondary side. In Channel Name mode, the Primary area also displays a "MAIN" icon. This is very important, as all of the active operations will be performed on the Primary side. Channel and Frequency Modes The KG-935G supports tuning frequencies via two methods: channel and frequency modes. In channel mode, frequencies that have been saved can be selected from the channel list. This is the default mode and is the most convenient way to access commonly used 27 Operation frequencies. The KG-935G is pre-configured with 30 GMRS channels, but allows users to save custom channels as well (up to 999). In channel mode, turning the Channel/ Frequency Knob or pressing an arrow key will tune to the next channel in the list. Frequency mode (also referred to as VFO mode) allows you to tune directly to a specific frequency regardless of the frequency having been previously saved. In frequency mode, turning the Channel/Frequency Knob or pressing an arrow key will tune to a higher or lower frequency. The STEP menu option (page 56) allows you to adjust the step between each frequency. To enter a frequency directly, type the frequency using the keypad. The KG-935G supports the following frequency bands: KG-935G Frequency Bands 136.000 - 174.995 MHz 400.000 - 479.995 MHz The KG-935G can only transmit on GMRS frequencies. All other available frequencies entered in Frequency mode or through the programming software are receive only. 28 Operation Channels and Privacy Codes The KG-935G supports 30 built-in GMRS channels and 155 privacy tones and codes. To successfully communicate between your stations or members of your group, all the connecting radios must be using the same channel and privacy (CTCSS or DCS) code. The KG-935G supports both standard and non-standard CTCSS tones and DCS codes. These tones and codes can be enabled and configured in the [RX-CTCSS], [RX-DCS], [TX-CTCSS] and [TX-DCS] menu options (pp 51-52). Instructions for entering non-standard tones and codes can be found in the Advanced Operations section of this manual (page 72). The KG-935G supports 999 customizable memory channels. Channels can be added, deleted or reordered via the PC programming software. Using the Repeater Channels The KG-935G is pre-configured with 8 GMRS repeater channels. The channels are named RPT-15 through RPT-22. 29 Operation What is a Repeater? In basic terms, a repeater is a device that is used to increase the range of two way radios. Repeaters will receive a transmission on one frequency and simultaneously rebroadcast that transmission on a different frequency. Repeaters are often set up in a fixed location and connected to an antenna that is mounted at a higher elevation to provide better range than is normally available with radio-to-radio (simplex) communications. Locating a Repeater Using GMRS repeaters can significantly increase the range of your radio, but just tuning to one of the repeater channels isn't necessarily going to work. You first have to be sure there is a repeater listening on that channel's frequency, and you have to be within range of that repeater. The best resource for locating GMRS repeaters is the website www.myGMRS.com. This site has an extensive database of GMRS repeaters throughout the United States. It is important to keep in mind that a GMRS repeater is not necessarily intended for public use. They are owned by individuals and are sometimes intended for private use or 30 Operation require permission to use. Before connecting to a GMRS repeater, be sure that you have permission or that the owner is fine with public use. The description on the myGMRS website usually indicates if permission is required and provides a way to get in touch with the owner. KG-935G Repeater Channels RPT-15 through RPT-22 have the same receive frequency as channels GMRS-15 through GMRS-22. However, the transmit frequency for these channels is assigned to a frequency specifically designated as a GMRS repeater input frequency. The chart below lists the default frequencies for these channels. Number CH-023 CH-024 CH-025 CH-026 Channel RPT-15 RPT-16 RPT-17 RPT-18 Receive Frequency 462.5500 462.5750 462.6000 462.6250 Transmit Frequency 467.5500 467.5750 467.6000 467.6250 31 Operation Number CH-027 CH-028 CH-029 CH-030 Channel RPT-19 RPT-20 RPT-21 RPT-22 Receive Frequency 462.6500 462.6750 462.7000 462.7250 Transmit Frequency 467.6500 467.6750 467.7000 467.7250 Accessing a Repeater in Frequency Mode The REPEATER menu option (page 49) allows you to transmit to a repeater while in Frequency Mode. If you are tuned to a GMRS receive frequency that is valid for repeater use and turn the REPEATER menu option ON, the KG-935G will transmit to the repeater input frequency when PTT is pressed. The REPEATER menu option is ignored when the radio is not tuned to one of the 8 GMRS repeater transmit frequencies. Channel Scan The [*SCAN] key controls the scan function. To activate Channel Scan, press and hold 32 Operation the [*SCAN] key for two seconds or until you hear "Scan Begin". The radio will scan each channel for activity, starting from the current channel. Pressing the [UP] / [DOWN] keys while scanning will change the direction of the scan from low to high ([UP]) or high to low ([DOWN]). Press any other key to stop the scan. Refer to the Scan Mode menu item (page 53) for more information on the types of scans available. The scan function can also be assigned to the PF1 or PF2 buttons from the menu (page 59). Priority Channel Scan The KG-935G supports Priority Channel Scanning. With this feature a priority channel can be specified that is scanned much more frequently than other channels. This helps prevent missing all or part of a transmission when you are primarily concerned with a single channel. Priority Channel Scanning works by scanning your priority channel in between all other channels. For example, if your priority channel is 3 the radio would scan your 33 Operation channel list in the following order: 1323334353... To set a priority channel, use the Priority Channel menu item (page 55). To activate the Priority Channel Scanning feature, use the Priority Scan menu item (page 54). Individual channels can be added or removed from the scan list using the Scan Add menu option (page 55). Scanning CTCSS / DCS Codes The KG-935G is equipped with the ability to scan an incoming signal for a CTCSS or DCS tone and update the current channel's tone settings once the tone is identified. To activate CTCSS / DCS scan, press the [MENU] key and navigate to the TONESCAN menu item. Press [MENU] again to enter the menu item and you will see "SEEK QT" on the screen. The scan will begin when a signal is received. The scan will stop when the signal ends and resume from where it left off the next time the signal is received, until it identifies 34 Operation the correct tone. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys to scan in a different direction. Use the [PF2] side key to toggle between scanning the standard CTCSS, positive DCS, and negative DCS tone list. See the TONE-SCAN menu item (page 55) for more information. Key Lock The buttons on the KG-935G can be locked to prevent them from being accidentally pressed. When the Key Lock is enabled, all buttons except the [*LOCK] and PTT keys will be disabled. The Channel knob will also be disabled. To activate the Key Lock, press and hold the [#LOCK] key for two seconds. The key icon will appear at the top of the display. The buttons are now disabled. To disable the Key Lock, press and hold the [#LOCK] key for two seconds. The key icon will disappear from the top of the display. The buttons should now be enabled. Stopwatch Timer The KG-935G has a built-in stopwatch timer. It can be enabled using the TIMER 35 Operation menu option (page 68). Once enabled, Press [#LOCK] on the radio to activate the stopwatch. Press any key or turn the channel knob to stop the timer. When stopped, press [#LOCK] to clear and restart the timer, or press any key to deactivate the stopwatch and return to standby mode. The timer will stop and the radio will exit timer mode if a signal is received on an active channel. NOAA Weather Mode NOAA Weather Mode allows you to quickly access weather information from a local NOAA broadcast station. To activate NOAA Weather Mode, hold down the [BAND] key for 2 seconds. The display will change to show a NOAA broadcast station frequency starting with 162 MHz and a rain cloud icon will appear above it to indicate the radio is in Weather Mode. Use the Channel/Frequency Knob or the arrow keys to navigate to your preferred NOAA station. Your most recently selected station will be remembered each time you enter this mode. 36 Operation A list of supported NOAA frequencies is included in the Technical Information chapter of this manual (page 83). Weather Scan Press the PTT or hold the [*SCAN] key for 2 seconds to scan all of the NOAA weather channels. The scan will stop when an active weather channel is found. Press any key to manually stop the scan. The weather scan is only available in Weather Mode. Weather Alert The KG-935G features a Weather Alert option (page 50). The Weather Alert monitors the currently selected weather frequency for a 1050Hz subaudible tone that indicates a weather warning or alert has been issued. When the Weather Alert is enabled, the radio will scan a regular channel and then a weather channel. If Priority Channel Scan (page 54) is enabled, the radio will first scan a regular channel, then a weather channel, then the priority channel, in that order. If the 1050Hz alert tone is detected, the radio will stop scanning and produce an alert. 37 Operation Press the PTT to acknowledge the alert and the radio will activate the weather channel. To exit Weather Mode, press and hold the [BAND] key for 2 seconds. The radio will return to the last channel or frequency accessed. To locate the NOAA station closest to your location, visit the following site: https://www.weather.gov/nwr/station_listing Note Weather Mode is accessible on Area A only. While in Weather Mode the menu is not accessible and the radio will receive but not transmit on Area A. Keypad Hotkeys The keypad features hotkeys for faster access to the first nine menu options. When the radio is in MENU mode, press the desired hotkey to go directly to that option and 38 Operation press the UP / DOWN arrow keys to choose the desired setting. Press [MENU] to confirm, then press [EXIT] to save the setting and exit the menu.
