1 Safety Information

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

These walkie−talkies have been conceived for communication with other walkie−tal-

kies complying to the same standards. Any other use is considered unintended use.

Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances

open the devices or complete any repair work yourself.

Installation location

Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and

direct sunlight.

Do not use the devices in potentially explosive areas.

Power adapter plug

Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied because other power

supplies could damage the devices. Ensure access to the power adapter

plug is not obstructed by furniture or such.

Rechargeable batteries

Attention: Never throw batteries into a fire. Only use batteries of the same

type. Pay attention to correct polarity. Incorrect polarity of the batteries repre-

sents a risk of explosion during charging.

Medical equipment

Attention: Never use the walkie−talkies in the vicinity of medical equipment.

Effects on such equipment cannot be fully ruled out. Walkie−talkies can

cause an unpleasant humming sound in hearing aids.

Preparing the Walkie−Talkies

Disposal

In order to dispose of your device, take it to a collection point provided by

your local public waste authorities (e.g. recycling centre). The adjacent sym-

bol indicates that the device must not be disposed of in normal domestic wa-

ste! According to laws on the disposal of electronic and electrical devices,

owners are obliged to dispose of old electronic and electrical devices in a

separate waste container.

Batteries must be disposed of at the point of sale or at

the appropriate collection points provided by the public

waste authorities.

Packaging materials must be disposed of according

to local regulations.

2 Preparing the Walkie−Talkies

Safety information

Attention: It is essential to read the Safety Information in Chapter 1 before

starting up.

Checking the package contents

The package contains:

− two walkie−talkies − a charging station

− a power adapter plug − an operating manual

− two rechargeable battery packs

Inserting the battery pack

Open the battery compartment. Insert the plug from the battery pack in the socket in

the battery compartment. Insert the battery pack in the battery compartment. Only use

the battery pack supplied. Ensure not to jam the cable. Close the battery compart-

ment.

Charging the walkie−talkies

Using the charging station

Connect the power adapter plug to the charging station. For safety reasons, only use

the power adapter plug supplied.

Before using the walkie−talkies for the first time, charge them for at least

4 hours.

Using the power adapter plug

Connect the power adapter plug directly to one of the walkie−talkies.

Use the power adapter plug labelled with no. DVR−0920ACUP−3512 and

output data 7.5 V, 500 mA.

Do not charge the walkie−talkies with charging units from other

manufacturers. To ensure an optimal service life of the battery pack, only

stop the charging process when the walkie−talkie is fully charged.

The current battery charge status is indicated in the display:

Full Half empty Low Empty

The walkie−talkie must be charged as soon as the indicator flashes in the

display.

Radio signals cannot be received when the P button is being pressed.

Selecting a channel

PMR446 (Private Mobile Radio) walkie−talkies can be used throughout Europe free of

registration and call charges. There are 8 radio channels available within the fre-

quency range 446.000 MHz to 446.100 MHz.

1 x M, /, P Select the channel and confirm it

Every process is automatically cancelled if there is no input within 5 seconds.

code

There are 38 analogue (CTCSS 1 − 38) and 83 digital (DCS 1 − 83) codes available

per channel. It is only possible to communicate using the walkie−talkies when they are

each set to the same channel and

CTCSS/DSC code.

The CTCSS/DCS codes are transmitted as inaudible signals together with

the standard voice communication. When received, the voice communica-

tion signal is only transferred to the loudspeaker when the channel and

CTCSS/DCS code set on the receiver are identical to that of those re-

ceived (settings on the transmitter). If, by coincidence, another subscriber

is using the same channel and CTCSS/DCS code, change to a free chan-

nel together with the party being called.

2 x M Activate the CTCSS code programming mode

3 x M Activate the DCS code programming mode

/ P Select the DCS code and confirm it

An exception here is CTCSS/DCS code 0 (zero). When this setting is set, all

calls made on the channel set can be heard. In order to participate in the ra-

dio communication, you must set the corresponding CTCSS/DCS code.

Monitor function

The Monitor function enables the search for weak signals on the channel currently

set. If you receive an external signal, switch to a free channel. Always communicate

with other subscribers on a free channel to prevent interference.

(handsfree)

With this function, the walkie−talkie begins to transmit automatically on detecting a

voice or a sound without the P button being pressed.

When you start to speak, there is a slight delay before the walkie−talkie starts

to transmit.

Scanning for a channel

If an active channel is detected, the channel scan stops.

 Press the P button to enable radio communication on this channel.

 If you do not press the P button, channel scanning is resumed five

seconds after no further signal has been transmitted on this channel.

 Press the / button to skip this channel.

Start/End channel search

5x M / Start channel scanning

The scanning routine stops at every channel on which a signal is received regardless

of the CTCSS/DCS code transmitted with the signal.

6x M / Start channel scanning with CTCSS

The search process stops when a signal with a CTCSS code is transmitted on the set

channel.

7x M / Start channel scanning with DCS

The search process stops when a signal with a DCS code is transmitted on the set

channel.

P End the channel search

Transmitting the ringing tone

The ringing tones indicate to other subscribers that you want to talk to them. A condi-

tion for this is that the other subscribers are using the same channel and CTCSS/

DCS code.

C Send the ringing tone
