BASIC FUNCTIONS
Antenna
Due to governmental regulations, with the PMR version the antenna is fixed, i.e. non-detachable. All
other versions have a detachable antenna. To mount antenna, place the antenna-base onto the
connection thread at the top of the radio, and turn tight in clockwise direction.
For detachment, turn the antenna at the base - not at the tip - counterclockwise.
Battery Pack
To mount the battery pack (11) onto the radio, place the grooves at the rear of the battery pack onto
the battery compartment of the radio-case and push the battery pack into final position until it locks in.
To remove the battery pack, press down the latch (9) and slide the battery pack out of its position.
Charging
Prior to first use, the battery pack (11) has to be fully charged. A complete charging cycle takes
approximately 5 hours.
Connect the cable of the power supply with the base of the charger before connecting with a 220 V
plug. The green LED should light up. Now, place the radio with the attached battery pack (11) into
the charger. Pay attention to proper placement. During the charging process, the LED lights red.
Once charging is completed, the LED lights green. Take the radio out of the base. Overcharging
reduces the battery packs longevity.
On / Off
To switch on the radio, turn the combined on/off-volume switch (5) clockwise beyond the barrier. If
the warn tone and the voice annunciation are activated, a beep tone is emitted and the actual chan-
nel number is announced.
To switch off the radio, turn the on/off-volume knob (5) counterclockwise beyond the barrier.
Volume Control
Use the combined on/off-volume knob (5) for volume control. Turning clockwise increases the volu-
me level and turning counterclockwise reduces it.
To set a comfortable volume level after turning the radio on, hold the function key (8) - key has to
be programmed with the monitor function - while adjusting the volume level with the combined
on/off-volume switch (5).
Note:
The function key (8) can be programmed via software with one of these functions: monitor, tx-power
high/low and alarm.
Channel Selection
For channel selection use the channel selector (5). If the warn tone and the voice annunciation are
activated, a beep tone is emitted and the actual channel number is announced once the channel
has changed.
Note:
The scan function operates on channel 16. When scan is activated, channel 16 is no longer availa-
ble for radio communication.
If no frequency is programmed on the selected channel, a constant warn tone is audible.
Transmit
For transmission press the PTT key (7) until the end of the message.
For best sound quality, talk into the microphone (3) at a middle volume level at a distance of appro-
ximatly 10 cm. During transmission the control LED (6) lights red.
Upon release of the PTT key (7) the radio returns automatically into reception mode. Once a signal
is present on the selected frequency, the LED lights green.
Reception
Once a signal is present on the selected frequency, the LED lights green.
Note:
If the selected frequency is decoded with a CTCSS-/DCS-code, all signals that are encoded with a
different code will be muted. The green LED will light but no signal will be audible.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
PTT Key
The PTT key (7) is located at the left side of the radio. Pressing the PTT key will activate transmis-
sion mode. The LED (6) will light red.
Function Key
The function key (8) is located under the PTT key (7). It can be programmed with one of these
functions:
Off
no function available
Alarm
By pressing the function key (5) a constant alarm tone is audible. Transmission and reception
modes are blocked and alarm remains active upon change of channel. To turn off the alarm, press
the function key (5) or turn the radio off.
Monitor
The monitor function deactivates the squelch and the typical constant noise is audible. Weak
signals that would not pass the squelch and signals that are CTCSS/DCS encoded can be heard
with the monitor function.
TX Power
The low tx power is indicated by a single warn tone and the high tx power by a double-tone.
Note:
With the versions PMR and FreeNet, the low tx power are fixed to 300 mW and the high value to
500 mW. With the COM versions the max. tx power is 4 W for UHF and 5 W for VHF. The low
and high tx power values can be set via software according to the commercial radio licence.
