Removal of the antenna Rotate the antenna counterclockwise to remove it. Installation /Removal of Belt clip 1.Installation of the belt clip First remove the battery, and then place the clip on the rear top of the machine, and fix it with two screws by a cross-screw. Note: Do not install the belt clip unless the battery is off. 2. Removal of the belt clipp As for the removal of the belt clip, please refer to the installation steps and loose the screws in counterclockwise. Installation/Removal of External Earphone or Microphone 1. Installation of the external earphone or microphone
(1) Unclose the earphone cap (without removing) in the direction of the arrow
(2) Insert the earphone or microphone 2. Removal of the external earphone or microphone You can pull out the external earphone or microphone to remove it. Note: The use of an external earphone or microphone will affect the waterproof performance of the transceiver. Operation Guide Power On/Off Rotate the Power knob clockwise until a ka-ta sound is heard to turn on the power. Counter clockwise to turn off. Volume Adjustment Volume knob clockwise to increase the volume, or counter clockwise to decrease it. Channel Adjustment Channel knob clockwise to decrease the channel number, or counterclockwise to increase it. Monitoring Press monitor button it can directly monitor the channel you are without having to wait for their call you. press monitor button once again it can directly return back to stand by status. g y y y Voice Operated Transmission ( VOX ) VOX is the optional microphone set. Hold press monitor button the voice tell you VOX funtion is ON or OFF, VOX ON is VOX circuit automatically switch on the transmission mode Scanning Press scan button the LED indicator flashes green, it will scan all the channels in the scan queue one by one in order. When a channel receives a signal, the LED indicator will turn green for long. When the function is activated, the transceiver will check whether there are calls on the channels that are set to be scanned. If a channel is tested to have signals on it, it will switch to this channel in order to receive voices (which channels can be scanned is programmed and set by Users). High/ Low Power Selectable Hold press scan button the voice tell you the radio is high power or Low power High power is 2 watt. Low power is 0.5 watt. Transmitting while holding down the PTT button. The transmission indicator turns red when the PTT button is pressed. If you speaks too loud or with your mouth getting too close with the microphone, it may distort the sound and reduce the signal clarity on the receiving side. Release the PTT button to listen to the partner's voices. Receiving Release PTT key, transceiver enter the receiving mode, the status indicator lights green. Please adjust the volume appropriately to achieve the best listening effect. Low Battery Warning Low battery warning happens at the time when the battery needs charging or replacement. Additional function
) Time out timer ( TOT )
(
TOT is the optional function set by programmer. If TOT is available, transmission time ( hold the PTT button ) will be limited on certain period of time. TOT is useful for preventing from the thermal damage when Transceiver is under long time transmission. Scan Scan is the optional function set by programmer. If scan function is available, transceiver can stop the any of channel which are busy. This scan function can be set only for No.20 channel, so you can monitor maximum of 20 channel with scanning mode. When channel is stop at certain channel, you can press the PTT button to transmit. Also press and hold the Monitor button to stop scan operation. Battery Saving This is a standard function. To increase the battery life ( decrease battery consumption ) , Transceiver has battery saving mode Battery saving mode will start after 10 seconds from the busy condition off. CTCSS / CDCSS CTCSS can be set by programmer. If equipped with CTCSS or DCS, your group can not listen other group conversation. This function is useful to listen the voice within the group even other group are using same channel. VOX (Voice Operated Transmission) There are 9 levels sensitive for choise through by programmer. Troubleshooting Guide Problems No Power Battery lasts no long after charging It can not reach others of a group There are voices from other people rather than group members in the channel. When transmitting voices, only a small or even no sound can be heard on the other side. Consistent noises Solutions Battery may have been exhausted. Please update or recharging the battery. Battery may not be installed correctly. Please remove the battery and reload it. Batterys lifetime is due. Please update the battery. Battery is not charged fully, so please ensure that the battery indicator is green when removing it. Make sure you are using the same frequency and sub-audio frequency
/sub audio digital settings as other members of the group Confirm
/sub-audio digital settings as other members of the group. Confirm whether you are in the valid range of transceiver since other members of the group may be too far away. Please change the sub-audio frequency/sub-audio digital settings. At this time, be sure to change all the walkie-talkies of the group at the same time. (Need Users to recharge.) Confirm whether the rotary volume knob is to the appropriate volume. Send the machine to Users to check the microphone. Other members of the group may be too far away and can not receive the voices you send, please get close and try again. Maintenance and Cleaning 1. Do not lift the transceiver directly by its antenna or external microphone. 2. Dust the transceiver with an anti-pilling cloth to prevent bad contact. 3. When the transceiver is off work, please cover the microphone cap. 4. The buttons, control knob and the casing of transceiver are easy to become dirty after long usage, you can use a neutral detergent
(do not use strong corrosive chemicals) and wrung damp cloth to clean it.

( C95 1 1992) IEEE d d I N ti d d l St tit t i To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for general population use, always adhere to the following CAUTION guidelines:
CAUTION DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF RF exposure limits. A porper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacture or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time " 50% duty cycle'
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance reqirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the " TX indicator" lights red. you can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT" switch or " Group" button. ALWAYS use SANCON authoried accessories ( antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthoried accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance reqirements to be exceeded. Body-worn operations are restriced to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly and that provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device , including its antenna, and the user's body. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm ( 2 incches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side. the information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your SANCON radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference During transmissions, your SANCON radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas whtere signs are posted to do so, DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. This device complies with Part 90 of the FCC rules, Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
