Chapter 2. Battery Information
2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time
after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating
capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity
will reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when it’s operating time decreases even though it has
been fully and correctly charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
2.2 Charger Supplied
Please use the specified charger provided by our company. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After
installing the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.
2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery
pack, as our company cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b. The ambient temperature should be between 5ȭ-40ȭ (40˚F - 105˚F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d. To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until
the green light is on.
e. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery
pack.
f. Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid damage.
WARNING
！
When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may become damage or
injure a human. If the battery terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat. Take care when carrying and
using the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal container.
2.3 How to Charge
a. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the AC adaptor into the DC jack located on the back of
the charger. The indicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.
b. Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery terminals are good in contact with charging terminals.
The indicator light turns to red--- charging begins.
c. It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the lamp lights green, the charging is completed.
Remove the battery or the radio unit with its battery from socket.
When charging a radio (with battery) the indicating lamp will not turn into green to show the fully charged status if the
radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation. The radio consumes
energy when it is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully
charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery
has been fully charged.
2.4 How to Store the Battery
a. If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
b. It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
c. Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.

NOTE: The highlighted band is the main band and the grey band is the sub band.
5.4 VFO/Channel Switch
Pressing [VFO/MR] key switches between Frequency (VFO) Mode and Memory (MR) mode. Memory mode is sometimes also referred to as
Channel mode.
For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode. However, Frequency (VFO) mode is
very handy for experimentation out in the field. Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
5.5 Frequency (VFO) mode
In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the or keys. Each press will increment or decrement your
frequency according to the frequency step you've set your transceiver to.
You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy.

(1) In standby mode, press and hold the
key to switch to the frequency (VFO) mode.
(2) Enter [4][3][6][6][1][2][5] [0] on the numeric keypad.
WARNING!
Just because you can program in a channel does not mean you're automatically authorized to use that frequency. Transmitting on
frequencies you're not authorized to operate on is illegal, and in most jurisdictions a serious offence. However, it is legal in most jurisdictions
to listen. Contact your local regulatory body for further information on what laws, rules and regulations apply to your area.

6.2 DTMF
DTMF is an in-band signaling method using dual sinusoidal signals for any given code. Originally developed for telephony systems, it has proved
a very versatile tool in many other areas.
In two-way radio systems, DTMF is most commonly used for automation systems and remote control. A common example would be in amateur
radio repeaters where some repeaters are activated by sending out a DTMF sequence (usually a simple single-digit sequence).

Edit the 5Tone in the PC programing software before it can be selected.
6.5 Dual Watch
In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels at once can be a valuable asset. This can be achieved in one of two ways. You can
either have one receiver in your radio and flip-flop between two frequencies at a fixed interval (known as Dual Watch), or you can equip a radio
with two receivers (known as Dual Receive or Dual VFO). The former method is cheaper to implement and far more common than the latter.
The radio features Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the two channels it
monitors.
Enabling or disabling Dual Watch mode
(1) Press the
key to enter the main menu.
(2) Enter 2 on the numeric keypad to get to Radio Settings.
(3) Press the
key to confirm, enter 18 on the numeric keypad to get to Dual Watch.

icon.
(6) Press the
key to confirm.
(7) Press
to return to the previous menu.
Press and hold to switch Double Wait /
Signal Wait / Off dual watch mode.
6.6 Manual Programming (Channels Memory)
Memory channels are an easy way to store commonly used frequencies so that they can easily be retrieved at a later date.
The radios features 999 memory channels that each can hold: Receive and transmit frequencies, transmit power, group signaling information,
bandwidth, ANI/ PTT-ID settings and a six character alphanumeric identifier or channel name

see the section called “1750Hz Tone-burst ”.
If you're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer or your local amateur radio club,
as the case may be.
6.7 Amateur Radio Setup
In contrast with Commercial radio operators, who often need very specific requirements to be compatible with a very specific radio
implementation, Amateur radio operators tend to need the broadest possible settings in order to be compatible with as many systems as
possible. This basically implies turning all the fancy features that you typically might need for a commercial setup off.
In a typical Amateur radio setup the following settings would be recommended:
Radio setting
• Turn ANI, DTMFST, PTT-ID off and PTT-LT to 0ms (menu items 22 through 24).
• Turn off Squelch Tail Elimination (Tail) features (menu items 26).
• Turn roger beep (ROGER) off (menu item 10).
Program channel
• Set bandwidth to Wide (menu item 4).
• Turn DCS and CTCSS off (menu items 5 through 8).
• Turn Signaling code off and SPK-Mute(menu items 9 and 10).
