Chapter2. 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.

2.4 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.

-12-
5.5 Frequency (VFO) mode
In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the / 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.
The following example assumes the use of a 12.5 kHz frequency step.
Example. Entering the frequency 436.61250 MHz on display A
(1) In standby mode, press [V/M] 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.
The scanning and receive function of the aviation frequency band (AM108-136MHz) and the police frequency band (350-390MHz) is limited
to use in VFO mode and allows manual input of these frequencies. Prohibit use in channel mode.
5.6 Channel (MR) mode and Channel selection
There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) 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. Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for programming channels into memory.
In Channel (MR) mode you can navigate up and down the channel by using the
/ keys or the encoder.
Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
Press [V/M] key to switch the radio between VFO and Channel mode, select Channel mode.
• Operation 1: Press the

NOTE:
If you're experiencing problems making a connection to the repeater, check your settings and/or go through the procedure again.
Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see how this is done with the radios,
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.
-21-
If you for some reason want to listen to the repeater's input frequency instead, press key momentarily and you'll reverse your transmit and
receive frequencies.
This is indicated in the LCD on the radio with an R in the top row, next to the + and - for the offset direction.

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 Radios 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 [MENU] key to enter the menu.
2. Enter 3 8 on the numeric keypad to get to Dual Watch.

To exit the function, stop the counting first, and then press the [EXIT] key.
6.8 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).
DTMF frequencies and corresponding codes
1209Hz 1336Hz 1477Hz 1633Hz
697Hz 1 2 3 A
770Hz 4 5 6 B
852Hz 7 8 9 C
941Hz * 0 # D
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 as you would expect. The A, B, C and D codes
are located in the [MENU],
, and [EXIT] keys respectively.
To send DTMF codes, press the key(s) corresponding to the message you want to send while holding down the PTT key.
If you have the keypad lock enabled on your radio, you can still send DTMF tones the regular way without having to unlock your radio.
