Operating Instructions
UHF5400 80 Channel UHF
Citizen Band Radio
This unit complies with all relevant Australian and
New Zealand approval requirements
AS/NZS 4365: 2011 including radio communications
(NZS2772.1 for human exposure) standard 2003.
When a narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the
speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best
listening performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new
narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for
best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80
interference is possible from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on
adjacent frequency.
The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed
use of wideband and narrowband radios.

Zealand is subject to conditions in the following licenses:
In Australia, the ACMA Radio communications (Citizen
Band Radio Stations) and in New Zealand by MED the
General User Radio License for Citizen Band Radio.
Radio Antenna
Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor
burn may result.
Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments
could damage the radio and violate compliance. Do Not
change or modify the antenna.
Do not hold the antenna when the radio is "in use". Holding
the antenna reduces range and may cause bodily harm.
Safety and general use whilst in a vehicle
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations
regarding the use of two way radios in the area where you
drive, and always obey them.
5
Safety Information and Warnings
WARNING
For Vehicles tted with Air Bags
Do not place your radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area.
Air bags inate with great force. If a radio is placed in
the air bag deployment area and the air bag inates, the
radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious
injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re
resulting in injury or even death.
NOTE:
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such
as below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles;
such as grain, dust or metal powder and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations,
turn your radio Off near electrical blasting caps in a
"blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two way
radios".
Obey all signs and instructions.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian
Communication Authority Radio communications
(Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure)
Standard,2003.
6
WARNING
To ensure optimal radio performance and to make sure
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines set out in the above
standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the
general population/uncontrolled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedures:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important
because the radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).
Always hold the radio approximately 5cm in front of your
mouth with the antenna pointing away from your head.
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Unauthorized antennas, modications, or attachments
could damage the radio and violate compliance. Do NOT
hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE."
Holding the antenna reduces the effective range.
Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged. If a
damaged antenna makes contact with your skin, a minor
burn can result.
If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting,
always t the radio on the belt clip (supplied). Always
ensure the radio and its antenna is at least 5cm from your
body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI).

facilities.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when
onboard an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.
Medical Devices - Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio
and pacemaker.

independent research by and recommendations of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
People with pacemakers should:
• Always keep the radio more than 15cm from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Medical Devices - Hearing Aids
Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
General warnings
Never use your radio outdoors during a thunderstorm.

General
Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local
repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are a shared
radio system installed by interested parties (clubs, local businesses
etc.) that pick transmissions on specic channels and re-transmit (or
repeat) the received signal to another channel.

Repeater Station
The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8 and
41 - 48) used by local repeater stations. When activated, your radio
will receive the Repeater on its specic channel (all repeater output are
on channel 1 to 8 and 41-48) but transmit to the repeater channel 31
through 38 and 71 to 78.
e.g
CH01 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH31.
CH02 on duplex mode will receive on CH02 but transmit on CH32.
If you transmit on CH01 duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on
CH31.
The repeater station down converts your signal and retransmits on CH01.

However, you can change or customize the channels in this menu.
To remove the channel from memory, press up or down in this menu.
The memory icon “M” disappears.
5 Selectable Call Tones
You can select from 5 call tones. This is the tone that is emitted when
the PTT is pushed 2 times within 1/2 a second.
Current regulations require calling tones to be restricted to one
transmission per minute. If a second transmission is attempted
within one minute, then an error tone will sound.
Scramble
Scramble enables private communications by scrambling the voice
signal.
This prevents users without descrambler equipment or a compatible
unit, from understanding the conversation.
Select desired channel. SCR appears when scramble setting from off
and 1 to 5.
NOTE: All radios will need to have the same scrambler setting to
descramble the conversation.

The primary use for these channels is repeater operation using
750 kHz offset. Channels 1-8 and 41-48 inclusive are used for mobile
reception and channels 31-38 and 71-78 for mobile transmission.
In addition, any designated repeater channel may be used for simplex
operation in areas where it is not used for repeater operation.
Speech telephony shall be inhibited on these channels.
At the time of production, Channels 61, 62 and 63 are guard
channels and are not available for use.
Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as
emergency channels and should be used only in an emergency.
CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35.
A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA
website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11
is a calling channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the
customary road vehicle channel.
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations
should move to another unused “SIMPLEX” channel to allow others to
use the calling channel.
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice
communications are not allowed on these channels by law.
Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex
mode.
