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 5℃-40℃ (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 batt ery terminals ar e
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
begi ns .
7
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 bat tery volt age 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.

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).

The radios has a full implementation of DTMF, including the A, B, C and D codes. The numerical keys, as well as the and keys correspond to the matching DTMF
codes. The A, B, C and D codes are located in the
, , and keys res pec tivel y.
To send DTMF codes, press the key(s) corresponding to the message you want to send while holding down the PTT key.
DT MF En c
Set a DTMF ID as the default call ID for the current channel. Press the PTT key to transmit the selected DTMF ID.
Edit the DTMF ID in Menu or with the PC programing software.
6.3 2Tone Enc
Set a 2Tone as the default call ID for the current channel. Press the PTT key to transmit the selected 2Tone.
Edit the 2Tone in the PC programing software before it can be selected.
6.4 5Tone Enc
Set a 5Tone as the default call ID for the current channel. Press the [PTT] key to transmit the selected 5Tone.
Edit the 5Tone in the PC programing software before it can be selected.
6.5 Dua l 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.

key to select.
• Double Wait: Enable the dual-watch function. The radio will display and monitor both channel. ‘DW’ icon displayed in the first row.
• Signal Wait: Enable the single-watch function. The radio will display both channel. Transmit and receive on the main channel only, sub Channel disables reception. No
‘DW’ icon displayed in the first row.
(6) Press the
key to confirm.
(7) Press
to return to the previous menu.
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.
