6 Cautions * NEVER transmit without antenna. * USE DC power supply, take notice of power voltage must be between 6V and 8V to avoid damaging the unit. * PLEASE keep the radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits. * DO NOT open the unit. Non-expert handling of the unit may damage it. * DO NOT forget to remove the radio from the charger when the battery is fully-charged. * MAKE SURE the radio is turned off while charging. * AVOID storing the radio under the sunshine or in hot areas. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics. * AVOID storing the radio in dusty, dirty areas. * Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. * Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

11 Basic Operation Turn the radio ON & OFF 1) Rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise till the radio is turned on. The radio gets started to auto test for two seconds. During auto testing, all icons will appear on LCD. 2) After auto testing is done, LCD will show channel number and what functions have been activated by your dealer. 3) Rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise to increase its volume or counter clockwise to reduce its volume. 4) To turn the radio off, rotate the PWR/VOL knob counter clockwise until the end click. Monitor Press the MON button on the side of the radio to open the squelch. This allows you to override the squelch and the CTCSS or DCS tones. It is useful to monitor the channel before you transmit and ensure there is no one using the channel when you have CTCSS or DCS tones programmed. Transmitting Before transmitting, you can monitor the channel you are using to ensure it is not busy. Keep pressing PTT button and start talking at approximately 2 inches from the MIC jack.
