Installation INSTALLATION CAUTION When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not damage any wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting position. If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest for optimum performance you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners.
Installation 1. Fix the mounting bracket in place by screwing through the slots in the bracket. 2. Fix the remote head unit to the mounting bracket with the thumb screws provided. 3. Connect the standard microphone to the remote head socket, and tighten up the thumb screw. Fitting the Controller Microphone Speaker (UHF200) The Remote Head uses an 8 pin telephone style plug and socket: 1.
Installation Disconnecting the Remote Head/Speaker Controller Microphone It is recommended that the remote head be left permanently connected to the radio, but if it must be disconnected, proceed as follows: 1. Lift the rubber boot and the lip of the raised area on the front panel. 2. Ease the rubber boot out of the cable entry hole and slide it along the cable away from the front panel. 3. Identify the plug locking lever, move the lever towards the plug body.
Installation Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly to the batteries negative terminal. Connect the radio's positive (red) lead via the 2 Amp fuse to the battery's positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has +13.8 Volts continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 2 Amp fuse.
Operations Power on and off * Press and hold the PWR button on the UHF100 Remote Head or the UHF200 microphone PWR button for 2 seconds. * The default channel is set at CH01.

Operations CH CH 200RX 200RX blinking Tri Function buttons To use the primary function (F, SC, PRI, ID, MO) press the required button. To use the secondary function (DPX, MEM, LO, CAL, TSQ) press and hold the button for 2 seconds. To use the third function (OS/GS, ALPHA, QUIET, MENU), press F/DPX and press the required button.
Operations Priority Channel To store a Priority Channel, press the PRI/LO button. The letter "P" will appear when the priority channel is set. The channel you selected as your Priority Channel will then be automatically monitored during the Group Scan. Note: You can only store one channel as your priority channel. To store a Priority Channel 1. Select the required channel. 2. Briefly press and hold the PRI/LO button a loud beep is heard. The letter "P" appears when the priority channel is set.
Operations Selecting the Required CTCSS Tone To pre-select the CTCSS tone on your radio, please refer to the MENU settings on page 24. Enabling CTCSS on a Channel If a CTCSS tone has been selected, it can be enabled on individual channels. 1. Rotate the Channel knob to select the required channel. The letters "CT" will appear. 2. Press and hold the MO/TSQ button.
Operations Open Scan Group Scan With Group Scan the Radio scans for activity, but in addition, it also inserts your Priority Channel into the scan sequence. This means that your Priority Channel will be monitored regularly while scanning to ensure that no calls are missed. Any signals received on your Priority Channel will take precedence over any signals received on the other channels.
Operations Selcall Selcall or Selective Calling is a function that allows you to selectively call another radio, using a unique ID number. Your radio has 10 programmable Selcall ID memories. The ID memories are displayed as "C0 to C9". Here you will program Selcall ID numbers of other radios. Your Radio’s Selcall Identification number is preset at "12345". You must change this number to your own unique five digit Selcall ID number.
Operations Entering, Editting and Storing a Selcall Name or ID number 1. Briefly press the ID/CAL button. The CALL TO mode will be selected and the last-sent Selcall memory location will be displayed. 2. Rotate the Channel knob to select the required Selcall memory (locations C0 to C9). If no ALPHA name or ID number has been programmed for that memory, the radio will display ‘- - - - -’ otherwise it will display the last ALPHA name or NUMERIC code programmed into that memory. 3.
Operations To return the call Press F/DPX and hold the ID/CAL button for 2 seconds until the radio beeps. The callers Selcall Identity will be sent to the caller. Cancelling the Selcall Alert To cancel the alarm and talk on the channel, press the PTT button. The alarm will be cancelled and the channel will be open for normal communication. Group Calling The Group Calling function allows you to transmit an “ALERT” tone to all members of a group at the same time.
Operations To call the group, program the Base radio Group ID code to 1234A. When you call the group, all of the above vehicles will receive the Group Calling Tone. Group call IDs can be stored in memory the same way as a Standard Selcall ID code, please refer to Entering, Editing and Storing a Selcall ID number at page 20.
Operations Setting up QUIET Mode To setup QUIET mode you must first ‘tag’ the channels that you want to stay quiet, then activate the QUIET mode. Once QUIET mode is activated, the channels you have tagged will remain quiet to all incoming signals unless your Selcall Ident is received. Channels not tagged will remain open to all signals and will operate normally. 1) Select the channel you want to put in "Q" mode using the channel selector. 2) Briefly press F/DPX and then Quiet button.
Operations Third functions MENU list * Use the channel knob to change the value of each setting. * Use the Scan button to select the next function. * If a button is not pressed within 8 seconds the Radio will automatically exit the menu mode. * Please see below menu modes.

Operations SQL: The radio has 8 preset ( off - 7) squelch levels: off - SQ off (monitor on condition) 1 - Max sensitivity (min squelch) 7 - min sensitivity (max/tight squelch) CTCSS and DCS setting This feature allows you to receive signals only from callers who have selected the same CTCSS and DCS code. DCS is similar to CTCSS. It provides 104 extra, digitally coded, squelch codes that follow after the 38 CTCSS codes. CTCSS 1-38, followed by DCS 1-104.
Operations Duplex Operation General Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local Repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio system installed by interested parties (clubs, local business etc.) that pick transmissions on specific channels and re-transmit (or repeat) the received signal to another channel.
Operations If you transmit on CH01 duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31 the repeater station down converts your signal and retransmits on CH01. Your UHF100 and UHF200 allows you to pre-select Duplex operation individually on each channel. Push and hold the F/DPX button for 2 seconds, "DPXON" should appear on the LCD. Push F/DPX button to toggle the Duplex function On and Off.
Operations 200 Receive (RX) only Channels Manual Programming The UHF Radio has a wide band search feature which will allow you to search Frequencies ranging from 400-512MHz (in 12.5KHz steps).
