PREPARATION
Charging the Optional NiCd Battery Pack
The optional battery pack is not charged at the
factory; charge it before use (refer to the battery
pack instruction manual).
DO NOT RECHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IF IT IS
ALREADY FULLY CHARGED. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE
LIFE OF THE BATTERY PACK TO SHORTEN OR THE
BATTERY PACK MAY BE DAMAGED.
AFTER RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK, DISCONNECT
IT FROM THE CHARGER. IF THE CHARGER POWER IS
RESET (TURNED ON AFTER BEING TURNED OFF),
RECHARGING WILL START AGAIN AND THE BATTERY
PACK WILL BECOME OVERCHARGED.
Initially charging the battery pack after purchase or
extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not
bring the battery pack to its normal operating
capacity. After repeating the charge/discharge cycle
two or three times, the operating capacity will
increase to normal.
4
1Match the four grooves
of the battery pack with
the corresponding
guides on the back of
the transceiver.
2Slide the battery pack
along the back of the
transceiver until the
release latch on the
base of the transceiver
locks.
3To remove the battery
pack, pull back on the
release latch and slide
the pack away from the
transceiver.
DO NOT SHORT THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR DISPOSE
OF THE BATTERY BY FIRE.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CASING FROM THE
BATTERY PACK.

1Attach the hand strap
bracket using the two
supplied 3 x 8 mm
screws.
2Loop the hand strap
through the center hole
of the hand strap
bracket.
Note: If desired, you can install the

cover over the SP/MIC
jacks using the supplied
3 x 6 mm screw.
Installing the Cap over the Speaker/ Microphone Jacks

OPERATING BASICS
Switching Power ON/OFF
Turn the Power switch/ Volume control clockwise to
switch the transceiver ON.
Turn the Power switch/ Volume control counter-
clockwise to switch the transceiver OFF.
Adjusting the Volume
Rotate the Power switch/ Volume control to adjust
the volume. Clockwise increases the volume and
counterclockwise decreases it.
You may need to adjust the volume more precisely
while communicating with other parties.
Note: Depending on dealer programming, you may be able to use
the Monitor key while adjusting the volume (refer to “Monitor” on
page 29).
Selecting a Group or Channel
Rotate the Rotary encoder (or press the keys
programmed as Group Up/Down or Channel Up/
Down) to choose your desired group or channel.
Clockwise increases the number and counter-
clockwise decreases it.
If a group or channel has not been programmed, it
cannot be used.
12
Adjusting the Squelch Level
Squelch is used to silence the speaker when no
signals are present. When squelch is turned OFF,
you will hear background noise from the speaker.
When it is ON, you will not hear background noise.
The squelch level you select determines when
squelch will turn OFF and ON. If you select a
squelch level that is too high, you will not hear
weaker signals. If you select a squelch level that is
too low, you will hear background noise between
signals.
To adjust the squelch:
1Press and hold the Side 2 key, then press the >
key.
“SQL” and the current squelch level appear.
2Rotate the Rotary encoder to select a squelch
level from 0 ~ 9.
Clockwise increases the squelch level and
counterclockwise decreases it.
3Press any key other than the key programmed as
Lamp to complete the setting.
Normal operation is restored.
13
Placing a Call
1Make sure no parties are currently transmitting on
your selected channel.
2Press the PTT switch and speak into the
microphone in your normal speaking voice.
For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold
the microphone approximately 1.5 inches
(3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.
3Release the PTT switch to receive.
Receiving a Call
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT
signalling on your transceiver. If your selected
channel is programmed with one of these features,
you will hear calls only when another party in your
system makes a call. All other calls will not be
heard.
If your selected channel is not set up with QT or
DQT, you will hear calls made by any party (not just
those in your system).
