(The indicator light turns red when transmit, turns green when receive.) Speaker Microphone Channel-selecting knob Power/volume knob(Power on by rotating clockwise,Power off by rotating counter clockwise till hear the "kata" sound. VOL control by rotating.) Side-key You can customize it in the software PTT switch Moni switch Speaker/Microphone Jack Battery Pack Battery release latch Basic opeartions LED indicator It lights red when transmitting, and lights green when receiving. Channel-selecting knob Rotate it to select channel 1-16, clockwise rotation to increase, counter-clockwise rotation to decrease. An alert tone will sound when an empty channel is selected. Power/Volume knob Rotate it by clockwise to power on the radio. To turn off the radio, rotate it by counterclockwise until a click sound is heard, VOL control by rotating. PTT switch Press PTT switch and then talk to the microphone, the indicator light turns red, if the channel does not have transmitting frequency, a "Du Du" tone sounds, and indicator light turns red. Release PTT switch to receive. It lights green when there is signal. Side-key Can be defined in the software as null / VOX/ emergency alarm / scan / busy lock, the default definition is short press scan switch, long press VOX switch. Moni switch Press the button to monitor calls with different mute tones at the same frequency, and also press to listen when the signal strength does not reach the opening threshold. Squelch level The squelch level will determine the signal strength to open the speaker of the radio. If the squelch level is lower, the background noise of opening the radio's speaker will be higher, and the corresponding communication range will be further, but the anti-interference ability will be weaker. The default setting of squelch level is 3, you can adjust it through the menu "Squelch level" of the "Optional features" in the software, level 0 to 9 can be selected. 0 is the lowest level. Time out timer (TOT) The purpose of TOT is to prevent any radio from talking in one channel for too long, and to prevent the radio from being damaged due to continuous transmission. If the transmitting time exceeds the TOT pre-set time, the radio will stop transmission and an alert tone sounds.Release PTT switch to stop the alert tone, the radio resume to receiving mode. Scan On/Off When the radio is set as scan via software, rotate the channel-selecting knob to channel 16, it will start scanning. It will scan all scannable channels from channel 1 to 16. You can define as channel added or deleted in software. When there is signal in the scanning channel, it stops in the channel for talk. Note:
a. The radio will stay in the channel which has signal, and 15 seconds after the signal disappears, it will continue scanning. b. It can not scan when there is less than 2 scannable channels. VOX Speak to the microphone in normal voice to transmit directly, no need to press PTT switch. Side-key can be defined as VOX switches in the software. 1) When VOX is on in your working channel. Speak to the microphone directly, it will transmit automatically. The radio stops transmitting when there is no voice, and waits for receiving. 2) When a headset with a microphone is used. When VOX is on, you should increase the VOX gain for the radio to identify voice volume. lf microphone is too sensitive, the noise around radio will start transmitting. If microphone is not sensitive, the radio can not collect your voice.

Whether it is in Chinese or English speech, press and hold the PTT button or VOX are all invalid and issued a "please change battery" voice prompt, and loud "Di" sound until PTT release or end VOX. Busy channel lockout(BCLO) If you set busy channel lockout, press PTT after receiving a signal of prohibiting transmit, and issue "Di" sound until PTT release. QT/DQT You can select the QT/DQT via program software. When a channel has QT/DQT, the speaker will be turned on when it receives the same QT/DQT. If there is transmitted signal with different QT/DQT in the same channel, the speaker will not open and indicator light turns green One-Key Frequency Copy Press the PTT button and the Moni switch on the receiver radio channel 1 at the same time to turn on, the receiver radio will play the voice " Turn on the Radio-One " and then the green light will flash slowly, the receiver radio and transmitter radio respectively turn the channel switch to the channel to be stored, the transmitter radio Press PTT to transmit, the green light of the receiver flashes quickly and then the green light flashes slowly after the receiver stops with a beep.
