(p. 6) ➥ Activates the following functions in order when pushed for 2 sec. (p.
PANEL DESCRIPTION y SCAN TYPE SELECTION SWITCH [O/G] ➥ Push to select the scan types in order. (p. 8) • Open scan—“OS” appears. • Group scan—“GS” appears. • Priority scan—“PS” appears. ➥ When the group or priority scan is selected, this switch sets the displayed channel as the priority channel for the selected scan when pushed for 2 sec. (p. 9) • While the priority channel is set, the priority channel is displayed at the right of the operating channel.
2 PANEL DESCRIPTION ■ Function display q w e r r TONE INDICATORS (p. 11) “T” appears when the subaudible tone encoder is in use; “T SQL” appears when the tone squelch function is activated and “T SQL ë” appears during pocket beep operation. t y DUP T SQL MR u !0 LOW BUSY o i q TAG CHANNEL INDICATOR (p. 9) Appears when the selected channel is set as a tag channel. • Tag channels can be set separately for each scan type. w LOCK INDICATOR (p. 6) Indicates that the lock function is in use.
BASIC OPERATION ■ Receiving and transmitting CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may dam- 3 NOTE: The transceiver has a power save function to conserve battery power. The power save function activates automatically when no signal is received for 5 sec. age the transceiver. q Rotate [VOL] clockwise to turn power ON, then set to the 10 o’clock position. • If “T SQL” appears on the display, push [–] for 2 sec. once or twice to cancel the tone squelch or pocket beep. (p.
3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Display backlighting ■ Lock function The transceiver has display backlighting with a 5 or 10 sec. timer for nighttime operation. The display backlighting can be turned ON continuously or turned OFF, if desired. The lock function prevents accidental channel changes and accidental function access. [PTT] and the backlight function can be used while the lock function is in use. ➥ Push any switch except [PTT] to turn the backlighting ON. ➥ Push [DUP] for 2 sec.
BASIC OPERATION 3 ■ Repeater operation A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits them on a different channel, allowing you to communicate over greater distances with improved reliability. When using a repeater, the transmit channel is shifted from the receive channel by 30 channels. q Select the receive channel from 1 to 8 (repeater output channel). w Push [DUP] to set duplex. • “DUP” appears.
4 SCAN OPERATION ■ Scan types ■ Open scan The transceiver has 3 scan types with tag functions and 4 resume conditions providing scanning versatility. Open scan searches for transmitted signals automatically and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes. Tag channels are independently set for open, group and priority scans. Initially, all channels may be set as tag channels for all scans. OPEN SCAN X q Push [O/G] to select open scan.
SCAN OPERATION 4 ■ Group and priority scans ■ Setting scan tag Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel while scanning only specified channels. This is useful when waiting for calls on the priority channel or several specified channels. Scan tag must be set before starting scan. Tag channels are independently set for open, group and priority scan. Group and priority scans behave differently when transmitting. During group scan, transmission is possible on a busy channel only.
4 SCAN OPERATION ■ Scan resume condition [ The scan resume condition can be selected as a pause or timer scan. q Push [LOW] for 2 sec. to enter set mode. w Push [LOW] several times until “SC” appears. e Push [Y] or [Z] to select the scan resume timer. - “t-05” : Scan pauses 5 sec. while receiving a signal. - “t-10” : Scan pauses 10 sec. while receiving a signal. - “t-15” : Scan pauses 15 sec. while receiving a signal. - “P-05” : Scan pauses until the signal disappears and then resumes 5 sec. thereafter.
TONE SQUELCH OPERATION 5 ■ Tone squelch operation ■ Pocket beep operation The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal containing a matching CTCSS (subaudible) tone. You can silently wait for calls from group members using the same tone. This function uses CTCSS (subaudible) tones for calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform you that someone has called while you were away from the transceiver. q Set the desired channel. w Set the desired CTCSS tone in set mode.
6 BATTERY PACKS ■ Charging precautions ■ Battery pack charging NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. This will cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiver. The BP-195 or BP-196 BATTERY PACK includes rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted. NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time.
BATTERY PACKS 6 D Multiple charging with the BC-121 D Regular charging The optional BC-121 allows up to 6 battery packs to be charged simultaneously. q Attach the battery pack to the transceiver. w Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF. e Connect the AC adapter (BC-110V) or optional cable (CP-12L or OPC-254L) as shown below. Six AD-81’s and an AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-121 depending on version) are additionally required. • Charging periods: 1.
6 BATTERY PACKS ■ About the battery pack D Operating period Depending on the attached battery pack, the operating period of the transceiver varies. Refer to the last page for battery pack specifications. D Battery pack life If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again.
OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Time-out timer [ To prevent continuous, extend transmissions, the transceiver has a time-out timer. This timer turns a transmission OFF 1, 2, 3 or 4 min. after it starts. This timer can be cancelled. Approx. 5 sec. before the time-out time elapses, the transceiver emits a beep tone. q Push [LOW] for 2 sec. to enter set mode. w Push [LOW] several times until “tt” appears. e Push [Y] or [Z] to select the time-out time or to turn the function OFF.
7 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Transmit lockout The transmit lockout function inhibits transmission while receiving a signal or when receiving a signal with an unmatched CTCSS tone. q Push [LOW] for 2 sec. to enter set mode. w Push [LOW] several times until “Lo” appears. e Push [Y] or [Z] to select the transmit lockout function or to turn the function OFF. - “RPt” : Transmission is impossible when receiving a signal with an unmatched CTCSS tone. - “bUSy” : Transmission is impossible when receiving a signal.
8 TROUBLESHOOTING If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION REF. No power comes ON. • The battery is exhausted. • Bad connection to the battery pack. • Recharge the battery pack. • Check the connection to the transceiver. p. 12 — No sound comes from the speaker. • Volume level is too low. • Tone squelch is activated. • Set [VOL] to a suitable level. • Turn the tone squelch OFF. p. 5 p.
