• Do not carry the battery pack (or battery case) with metal objects, as they may short the battery terminals.

• Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced; replace only with the same type.

• When operating the transceiver in areas where the air is dry, it is easy to build up an electric charge (static electricity). When using an earphone accessory in such conditions, it is possible for the transceiver to send an electric shock through the earphone and to your ear. We recommend you use only a speaker/microphone in these conditions, to avoid electric shocks.

v

Information concerning the battery pack:

The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.

• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!

The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not short-circuit the battery!

Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.

• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!

If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not leave the battery near fire, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!

If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means!

If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not charge the battery near fire or under direct sunlight!

If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

vi

• Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements!

If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step on it!

This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not jar or throw the battery!

An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not solder directly onto the battery!

If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!

When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!

The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reversecharged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

vii

• Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!

If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

• Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!

If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

• Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!

If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.

• Do not use an abnormal battery!

If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different coloring, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

QT/ DQT SETTINGS

Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that reject undesired signals on your channel. You will hear a call only when you receive a signal that contains a matching QT tone or DQT code. If a call containing a different tone or code is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call.

Likewise, when transmitting using QT or DQT, the receiving station must have a matching tone or code to hear your call.

Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.

To change the QT/DQT settings of a channel:

1 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT switch and Side 1 key while turning the transceiver power

ON.

• Continue to hold the PTT switch and Side 1 key until the LED lights orange and the transceiver announces “Self”.

2 Release the PTT switch and Side 1 key.

• The transceiver announces “Channel”.

DQT, and Channel setup.

3 Press the Side 1 or Side 2 key to select QT or DQT setup.

• The transceiver announces “QT” or “DQT”, depending on your selection.

4 Press and release the PTT switch, then rotate the Channel selector to your desired channel.

• Upon releasing the PTT switch, the transceiver announces “QT

One” or “DQT One”, depending on your selection.

5 Press the Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment/ decrement the

Tone number, to select the new tone or code.

• Tone numbers and their corresponding tones/ codes are provided in the table on pages 17 and 18.

• Press and hold the Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment/ decrement the QT or DQT number by 5 at a time.

• A voice announcement will inform you of the currently selected

QT or DQT number.

16

6 Press the PTT switch to save the setting.

• A beep will sound.

• Repeat steps 3 to 6 to set up another channel.

7 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate the new settings.

Note: The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if no action is performed for 20 seconds.
