It is dust resistant and rated to with-

stand any ingress of solid objects and can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. This radio is dust and waterproof only while the battery is properly installed and locked in place with no gaps and all ports are completely sealed with their port covers. Use of a headset or other accessory will negate the dust and waterproofing features of this radio. Do not attempt to operate this radio if it has been submerged in water deeper than 1 meter. The radio charger is NOT dust or waterproof. Charge the radio only under dry conditions. DO NOT charge the radio when it is wet. DO NOT expose the radio and charger to wet environments when charging. 19 Getting Started Installing and Removing the Battery The lithium-ion battery pack included with the radio is not fully charged out of the box. It is recommended to charge it before using the radio for the first time. Installing the Battery Slide the battery pack up along the back of the radio until it stops. Then push the bot-

tom of the battery towards the radio until it clicks into place. Removing the Battery Pull the release latch toward the three battery contacts. While holding the release latch in place, press down on the top end of the battery pack and slide the battery pack down and off the radio. 20 Getting Started Getting Started Charging the Battery The KG-S88G features two charging options for the battery pack. It can be charged using the included desktop charger or the built-in USB-C port on the side of the radio. Charging with the Desktop Charger The KG-S88G includes an intelligent desktop charger. It can charge the battery pack with or without the radio attached. 1. Insert the AC plug into an available 100~240v outlet. The LED light on the charger base will flash red for 2-3 seconds. This indicates the charger is in standby mode. Note When a completely drained battery is first inserted into the charger, the charger will switch to trickle charge mode and the LED will flash red continuously. After 10-20 minutes the charger will switch to normal charging mode and the light will turn solid red. The LED will turn green when charging is complete. 21 Getting Started 2. Insert the battery or radio with the battery attached into the charger. The LED light on the charger will turn red to indicate the battery is charging. 3. When the LED light on the charger turns green, charging is complete. Charging with the USB-C Port The KG-S88G can charge the battery from the USB-C charging port on the side of the radio using an optional USB-C cable (not included). The battery pack can be fully charged with a USB cable connected to a USB to AC adapter plugged into an AC outlet or a to a USB port in a vehicle, power bank or computer. When the radio is connected to a power source through the USB-C charging port with a battery attached, the LED at the bottom of the port will light up red to indicate the battery is charging. The LED will turn green when charging is complete. In addition to the charging option, the radio can be powered directly via the USB-C port while charging battery pack. It can also operate on power supplied through the USB port with or without the battery attached. 22 Getting Started Getting Started Antenna Information The KG-S88G includes an antenna with an SMA female connector that is tuned for the GMRS frequency range of your radio. Aftermarket antennas may be used, provided they are tuned for the GMRS. Warning: To avoid injury, DO NOT attempt to operate your radio if the antenna is damaged or defective. DO NOT attempt to operate your radio without an antenna connected to the radio. Transmitting without an antenna or a correctly tuned antenna directly and properly connected to the radio may damage the radio and void the warranty. Installing the Belt Clip The belt clip attaches to the back of the radio with the two supplied screws. To install the belt clip, press it against the back of the unit and line up the screw holes. Insert each screw one at a time and tighten until there is no further resistance and the belt clip is firmly attached to the radio. Do not overtighten the screws. 23 Operation Operation Introducing GMRS and the KG-S88G The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a two way radio service that offers some powerful benefits. Users are allowed to transmit at high power, up to 50 watts, and use advanced equipment, such as repeaters that enable you to transmit over large areas. The GMRS requires the user to purchase a license, and a single license covers the user and their extended family for 10 years. The KG-S88G was designed to allow you to take advantage of all that GMRS has to offer and more. Right out of the box this radio is configured to allow you to transmit on the 15 high powered GMRS simplex channels and 8 low powered simplex channels, as well as the 8 repeater channels. Read this chapter to learn the basics of using your new KG-S88G radio, such as select-

ing a channel, transmitting and receiving, and scanning. 24 Operation Operation Power On/Off and Adjusting Volume Rotate the volume knob clockwise to power on the radio. To power off the radio, rotate the volume knob counter-clockwise until a click is felt. To adjust the volume, use the volume knob when the radio is powered on. Turning the knob clockwise increases the volume, counter-clockwise decreases it. Your First Transmit Selecting a Channel When you power on your KG-S88G for the first time, the display will likely show GMRS01 in the center with 001 on the right side. GMRS01 is the name of the currently selected channel. 001 is the channel number. Turn the Channel Knob or the

[UP] / [DOWN] keys to navigate through the list of channels. As a licensed GMRS user you are allowed to use any of the channels. The channel you choose isnt as important as making sure its the same channel the rest of your group is using. Be sure the channel you select is also supported by the equipment everyone else 25 Operation in your group is using. Most rules for GMRS are the same for all channels, but there are a few differences, particularly concerning output power. The GMRS channels on the KG-S88G consist of 4 groups, with the following differences:

Transmitting on GMRS channels 1-7 is limited to 5 watts of output power. These channels can transmit at up to High power on the KG-S88G. Transmitting on channels 8-14 is limited to a half watt of output power and is for use on Low power only. Prior to FCC changes made in 2017, these channels were part of the FRS service only and were not available for GMRS. Transmitting on channels 15-22 is allowed at High power on the KG-S88G. These channels are authorized for up to 50 watts of output power. Prior to FCC changes made in 2017, this group was exclusive to GMRS (not part of FRS). Channels 23-30 receive on the same frequencies as channels 15-22, but transmit on a special offset frequency set aside for repeaters. See page 30 for more informa-

tion about using the KG-S88G with repeaters. 26 Operation Operation Transmitting and Receiving With a channel selected, the radio is actively listening for an incoming signal on that channel. When a signal is detected, the transmission will be heard through the radios speaker. Please note, the Squelch setting (page 44) determines how strong a signal needs to be in order to be detected. To transmit, first be sure the channel is clear and then hold the radio a few inches from your mouth. Hold down the PTT button on the side while talking and release the PTT when finished. For best performance and clarity of transmission, position the radio upright with the front of the radio facing you, hold it several inches away from your mouth and speak directly into the microphone during transmission. Channel and Frequency Modes The KG-S88G supports tuning frequencies via two methods: channel and frequency modes. 27 Operation In channel mode, frequencies that have been saved can be selected from the channel list. This is the default mode and is the most convenient way to access commonly used frequencies. The KG-S88G is pre-configured with 30 GMRS channels, but allows users to save custom channels as well (up to 256). In channel mode, turning the Channel/

Frequency Knob or pressing an arrow key will tune to the next channel in the list. Frequency mode (also referred to as VFO mode) allows you to tune directly to a specific frequency regardless of the frequency having been previously saved. In frequency mode, turning the Channel/Frequency Knob or pressing the Up/Down keys will tune to a higher or lower frequency, depending on which key is pressed. The STEP menu option

(page 47) allows you to adjust the step between each frequency. To enter a frequency directly, type the frequency using the keypad. The KG-S88G supports the following frequency band:

KG-S88G Frequency Band 400.000 - 480.000 MHz 28 Operation Operation The KG-S88G can only transmit on GMRS frequencies. All other available frequencies entered in Frequency mode or through the programming software are receive only. The WORKMODE menu option (page 46) allows you to switch between Channel and Frequency modes. Channels and Privacy Codes The KG-S88G supports 30 built-in GMRS channels and 155 privacy tones and codes. To successfully communicate between your stations or members of your group, all the connecting radios must be using the same channel and privacy (CTCSS or DCS) code. The KG-S88G supports both standard and non-standard CTCSS tones and DCS codes. These tones and codes can be enabled and configured in the [RX-CTCSS],

[RX-DCS], [TX-CTCSS] and [TX-DCS] menu options (pp 47-48). Instructions for entering non-standard tones and codes can be found in the Advanced Operations section of this manual (page 68). The KG-S88G supports 256 customizable memory channels. Channels can be added, deleted or reordered via the PC programming software. 29 Operation Using the Repeater Channels The KG-S88G is pre-configured with 8 GMRS repeater channels. The channels are named RPT-15 through RPT-22. What is a Repeater?

In basic terms, a repeater is a device that is used to increase the range of two way radios. Repeaters will receive a transmission on one frequency and simultaneously rebroadcast that transmission on a different frequency. Repeaters are often set up in a fixed location and connected to an antenna that is mounted at a higher elevation to provide better range than is normally available with radio-to-radio (simplex) communications. Locating a Repeater Using GMRS repeaters can significantly increase the range of your radio, but just tun-

ing to one of the repeater channels isnt necessarily going to work. You first have to be sure there is a repeater listening on that channels frequency, and you have to be within range of that repeater. 30 Operation Operation The best resource for locating GMRS repeaters is the website www.myGMRS.com. This site has an extensive database of GMRS repeaters throughout the United States. It is important to keep in mind that a GMRS repeater is not necessarily intended for public use. They are owned by individuals and are sometimes intended for private use or require permission to use. Before connecting to a GMRS repeater, be sure that you have permission or that the owner is fine with public use. The description on the myGMRS website usually indi-

cates if permission is required and provides a way to get in touch with the owner. KG-S88G Repeater Channels RPT-15 through RPT-22 have the same receive frequency as channels GMRS-15 through GMRS-22. However, the transmit frequency for these channels is assigned to a frequency specifically designated as a GMRS repeater input frequency. The chart below lists the default frequencies for these channels. Number 023 Channel RPT-15 Receive Frequency Transmit Frequency 462.5500 467.5500 31 Operation Number 024 025 026 027 028 029 030 Channel RPT-16 RPT-17 RPT-18 RPT-19 RPT-20 RPT-21 RPT-22 Receive Frequency Transmit Frequency 462.5750 462.6000 462.6250 462.6500 462.6750 462.7000 462.7250 467.5750 467.6000 467.6250 467.6500 467.6750 467.7000 467.7250 Accessing a Repeater in Frequency Mode The REPEATER menu option (page 45) allows you to transmit to a repeater while in Frequency Mode. If you are tuned to a GMRS receive frequency that is valid for repeater use and turn the REPEATER menu option ON, the KG-S88G will transmit to the repeater input frequency when PTT is pressed. The REPEATER menu option is ignored when the radio is not tuned to one of the 8 GMRS repeater transmit frequen-

cies. 32 Operation Operation Channel Scan The [*SCAN] key controls the scan function. To activate Channel Scan, press and hold the [*SCAN] key for two seconds or until you hear Scan Begin. The radio will scan each channel for activity, starting from the current channel. Pressing the [UP] / [DOWN] keys while scanning will change the direction of the scan from low to high ([UP]) or high to low ([DOWN]). Press any other key to stop the scan. Refer to the Scan Mode menu item (page 49) for more information on the types of scans available. The scan function can also be assigned to the programmable PF1, PF2 or TOP buttons from the menu (page 62-64). Priority Channel Scan The KG-S88G supports Priority Channel Scanning. With this feature a priority chan-

nel can be specified that is scanned much more frequently than other channels. This helps prevent missing all or part of a transmission when you are primarily concerned 33 Operation with a single channel. Priority Channel Scanning works by scanning your priority channel in between all other channels. For example, if your priority channel is 3 the radio would scan your channel list in the following order:

1323334353... To set a priority channel, use the [PRI-CH] menu item (page 50). To activate the Priority Channel Scanning feature, use the [PRI-SCN] menu item (page 50). Indi-

vidual channels can be added or removed from the scan list using the Scan Add [SC-

ADD] menu option (page 50). Scanning CTCSS / DCS Codes The KG-S88G is equipped with the ability to scan an incoming signal for a CTCSS or DCS tone and update the current channels tone settings once the tone is identified. To activate CTCSS / DCS scan, press the [MENU] key and navigate to the TONES-

CAN menu item. Press [MENU] again to enter the menu item and the first tone or 34 Operation Operation code on the list will display on the screen. Keep this menu item open to scan. The scan will begin when a signal is received. The scan will stop when the signal ends and resume from where it left off the next time the signal is received, until it identifies the correct tone. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys to scan in a different direction. Use the [PF2] side key to toggle between scanning the standard CTCSS, positive DCS, and negative DCS tone list. See the TONESCAN menu item (page 51) for more information. Key Lock The buttons on the KG-S88G can be locked to prevent them from being accidentally pressed. When the Key Lock is enabled, all buttons except the [*LOCK] and PTT keys will be disabled. To activate the Key Lock, press and hold the [#LOCK] key for two seconds. The key icon will appear at the top of the display. The buttons are now disabled. To disable the Key Lock, press and hold the [#LOCK] key for two seconds. The key icon will disappear from the top of the display. The buttons should now be enabled. 35 Operation Keypad Hotkeys The keypad features hotkeys for faster access to the first nine menu options. When the radio is in MENU mode, press the desired hotkey to go directly to that option and press the UP / DOWN arrow keys to choose the desired setting. Press [MENU] to confirm, then press [EXIT] to save the setting and exit the menu.

quency and receive on the transmit frequency. This feature is useful for checking if you are within simplex range of other units before activating Talk Around. Press the [*SCAN] key on the active channel to activate or deactivate this feature. When activated, an R icon will appear above the channel name, frequency or number. The Reverse Frequency function can also be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP]

buttons from the menu (pp. 62-64). Available in Channel Modes only. Talk Around The Talk Around function allows the radio to transmit and receive on the output frequency of a repeater, essentially letting you bypass the repeater. This feature is useful when the repeater is nearly out of range, is not operational, or if you are in range of oth-

er stations and would prefer to contact them via simplex. The Talk Around function can 40 Operation Operation be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP] buttons from the menu (pp. 62-64). SOS The radio can transmit an SOS alarm to other stations on the same channel. When SOS is activated, the radio will emit an oscillating alarm. After 5 seconds, the radio will transmit the alarm to other radios on the same channel. To activate the SOS function, it must first be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP] key (pp. 62-64). Alarm The radio features an alarm function with an ANI ID code. When activated, the radio will emit an oscillating alarm and transmit an ANI ID code plus the numbers 110 on the active channel for 5 seconds, after which the alarm will repeat. Press any key to de-

activate the alarm. To activate the alarm function, it must first be assigned to the [PF1],

[PF2] or [TOP] key (pp. 62-64). Monitor The MONITOR function opens squelch on the current channel or frequency. This is 41 Operation useful when listening for weak transmissions. To use the MONITOR function, it must first be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP] key (pp. 62-64). Flashlight The KG-S88G has a built-in LED flashlight at the top of the radio. To access this fea-

ture, it must first be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP] key (pp. 62-64). Stopwatch Timer The KG-S88G has a built-in stopwatch timer. It can be enabled using the TIMER menu option (page 61). Once enabled, Press [#LOCK] on the radio to activate the timer. Press the [MENU] key to stop the timer. When stopped, press [#LOCK] to deactivate the timer and return to standby mode. 42 Operation The timer runs in tandem with normal radio operation. Channels can be changed, pro-

ble problems and solutions. The RESET option provided in the menu can be used to restore factory standard settings and programming, and will often solve issues. Problem Receive indicator is on but no sound is heard. Keypad is unresponsive Unwanted interference is being received Solution Check volume level. Disable CTCSS/DCS or be sure setting matches incoming transmission. Check squelch settings. Check if keypad has been locked. Check if other keys are currently pressed Enable CTCSS or DCS tone to filter out unwanted transmissions. Use a different channel Transceiver transmits with-

out PTT being pressed Check if the VOX hands-free mode is active. If inten-

tionally using VOX mode, adjust the sensitivity level. 71 Solution Check that the battery pack is attached correctly. Check that the battery pack is fully charged. Be sure the charger indicates the battery is fully charged. The battery pack capacity will naturally diminish over a number of charge cycles. This is the case with all lithium batteries.

ADD: Jiangnan High Technology Industry Park, No.928 Nanhuan Road, Quanzhou, Fujian, China TEL: 86-595-28051265 FAX: 86-595-28051267 Mail Address: wouxun@wouxun.com 2021-10-25 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSIONS Authorization and Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Declaration of compliance to the requirements of 15.121 FCC ID: WVTWOUXUN28 We declare that, this scanning receiver is incapable of operating (tuning), or readily being altered by the users to operate, within the frequency bands allocated to the Cellular Radiotelephone Service in part 22 of this chapter (cellular telephone bands). This device will not be able to receive transmissions in the cellular telephone bands by means of clipping the leads of, or installing, a simple component such as a diode, resistor or jumper wire; replacing a plug-in semiconductor chip; or programming a semiconductor chip using special access codes or an external device, such as a personal computer. This device is also incapable of converting digital cellular communication transmissions to analog voice audio. This device is designed so that the tuning, control and filtering circuitry is inaccessible. Any attempts to modify the equipment to receive transmissions from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service will render the receiver inoperable. This scanning receiver rejects any signals from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands that are 38 dB or lower based upon a 12 dB SINAD measurement. We are aware that the modification of this device to receive transmissions from Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands will be considered to constitute manufacture of such equipment. This includes any individual, individuals, entity or organization that modifies one or more scanners. Any modification to receive transmissions from the Cellular Radiotelephone Service frequency bands voids the certification of the scanning receiver, regardless of the date of manufacture of the original unit. Sincerely, Signature:
