1 Safety Information
Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.
Intended use
These walkie−talkies have been conceived for communication with
other walkie−talkies 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.
Ambient conditions
Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals,
moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
Do not use the walkie−talkies in potentially explosive areas.
Power supply
Caution: Only use the power adapter plug supplied
because other power supplies could damage the walkie−
talkie equipment. Ensure access to the power adapter
plug is not obstructed by furniture or such.
Rechargeable battery pack
Caution: Never throw batteries into a fire. Only use batte-
ries of the same type! Pay attention to correct polarity. In-
correct polarity of the batteries represents a risk of explo-
sion during charging.
Medical equipment
Caution: Never use the walkie−talkies in the vicinity of me-
dical equipment. Effects on such equipment cannot be
fully ruled out. Walkie−talkies can cause an unpleasant
humming sound in hearing aids.
Safety Information
56

at suitable collection points provided by the public waste
authorities.
Batteries must be disposed of at the point of sale or at
appropriate collection points provided by the public waste
authorities.

2 Preparing the Walkie−Talkies for Use
Safety information
Caution: It is essential to read the Safety Information in
Chapter 1 before starting up.
Checking the package contents
The package contains:
two walkie−talkies with belt clip two rechargeable battery
packs
two headsets a power adapter plug
an operating manual
Inserting the battery packs
Open the battery compartment cover. Insert the battery pack sup-
plied. Pay attention to correct polarity. Close the battery compart-
ment cover.
Caution: Standard battery packs or batteries are not char-
ged. Only use the battery packs supplied or ones of the
same type.
Preparing the Walkie−Talkies for Use
58
Charging the battery pack
Connect the walkie−talkies as illustrated in the diagram. For safety
reasons, only use the power adapter plug supplied.
Mains power outlet
Before using the walkie−talkies for the first time, charge them for at
least 14 hours. When the walkie−talkies are connected correctly, the
red LEDs light up. The LEDs only signal that the connection is cor-
rect and continue to light up even when the battery packs are fully
charged.
Do not charge the walkie−talkies with charging units from
other manufacturers.
The current battery charge status is indicated in the display:
Full Half empty Low Empty
As soon as the indicator flashes in the display and acou-
stic warning signals are issued, the battery pack needs to
be recharged.
Attaching the belt clip
Insert the belt clip in the opening
provided until it audibly snaps
into place. To remove the belt
clip, press on it and pull it from
the opening.

Selecting the CTCSS code
All the calls on walkie−talkies which occur within the range of recep-
tion are signalled. A condition for this is that all the walkie−talkies
are set to the same channel. To prevent mutual interference, a
CTCSS code can be defined for the set channel. 38 CTCSS codes
can be set per channel.
M Activate Settings mode
: or ; , P Select the CTCSS code and confirm
it
Each CTCSS code complies to a specific tone frequency
transmitted by the walkie−talkie. Communication between
the subscribers is only then possible when both parties
are using the same channel and CTCSS code. An excep-
tion is CTCSS code 0". In the case of this setting, all the
calls on the set channel can be heard regardless of the
CTCSS code. To be able to participate in the radio com-
munication, it may be necessary to switch from CTCSS
code 0" to the CTCSS code being used.
If you want to communicate with the walkie−talkies which are not
using a CTCSS, you must select CTCSS code 0" on your walkie−
talkie.
