Waterproof
This radio is waterproof to IP-67 standards. It will withstand submersion under up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The radio is resistant to water, rain, and splashes only when the battery cover and headset accessory port are sealed. Open the battery compartment door or headset port cover only when the radio is dry. Use of a headset accessory should be in dry environments only.

The charging base and AC adaptor are not waterproof. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Charge the radios only in a dry location. Do not place wet radios into the charging base. If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio briskly so that any water that is trapped inside the speaker grille  and microphone port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the audio quality of the radio.

3. Remove the NiMH battery pack from the clear plastic bag (do not disassemble or unwrap the battery pack).
4. Insert the NiMH battery pack with the diagram facing you. (The ribbon should be underneath the battery pack and should wrap around the right side of the pack for easy removal).
5. Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screw on the battery door.

Installing the Three AA Alkaline Batteries

1. Make sure your radio is turned OFF.
2. With the back of the radio facing you, lift the battery cover latch up and remove the cover.
3. Insert the three AA Alkaline batteries with (+) and (-) polarity as shown inside. (The ribbon should be underneath the AA alkaline batteries and wrap around the right side of the batteries).
4. Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screw on the battery cover.

Removing the Batteries

Removing the NiMH Battery Pack

1. Make sure your radio is turned OFF.
2. With the back of the radio facing you, loosen the retaining screw on the battery door and open the cover.

   Note: Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use sharp or conductive tools to remove either of these batteries. Remove the batteries before storing your radio for an extended period of time. Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to your radio.

Radio Battery Meter

The Radio Battery icon shows the battery charge level from full to empty . When the radio has one segment left, the radio chirps periodically or after releasing the PTT button (Low Battery Alert).

Battery Capacity Maintenance

1. Charge the NiMH batteries once every three months when not in use.
2. Remove the battery from the radio after using for storage purposes.
3. Store the NiMH batteries in a temperature between -20 °C to 35 °C and in low humidity. Avoid damp conditions and corrosive materials.

Using the Micro-USB Charger
The micro-USB charger is a handy port that allows you to conveniently charge your NiMH battery pack.

Scanning
English Use the scan function to do the following: • Search the eight channels for transmissions from unknown parties.

• Find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels or
• To quickly find unused channels for your own use.
  There is a priority feature and two modes of scanning (basic and advanced) to make your search more effective.
• The “Basic Scan” mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the eight channels as you have set them (or with the default code value of 1).
• The “Advance Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes; detect any code in use and use that code value temporary for that channel.
• Priority is given to the “Home Channel” (i.e. the channel and Interference Eliminator Code your radio is set to when you start the scan). This means the initial channel (and code settings) is scanned more often than the other seven channels and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.

To start Basic Scanning:

1. Press the key briefly. The Scan icon will appear in the display and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activities matching the channel and code combination, the radio will stop scrolling and you can hear the transmission.
3. Press the PTT button within 5 minutes after the end of the transmission to respond and talk to the person transmitting.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels 5 seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. Press the  Scan/Monitor button briefly to stop scanning.

To start Advanced Scanning:

To set another channel and start Dual Channel Monitor:

1. Press the  Scan/Monitor button briefly. The Scan icon will appear in the display and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.
2. When the radio detects channel activities with ANY code (or NO code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. Any Interference Eliminator Code that may be use by other party will be detected and displayed.
3. When you respond and talk to the person transmitting, press the PTT button within five seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels 5 seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. Press the Scan /Monitor button briefly to stop scanning.

Scanning Notes:

1. The transmission will be on the “Home Channel” if you press the PTT button while the radio is scrolling through inactive channels. You may press the Scan/Monitor button to stop scanning at any time.
2. You may immediately resume the scan by briefly pressing the or  if the radio stops on an undesired transmission.
3. You may temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing and holding or for 3 seconds if the radio stops repeatedly on an undesired transmission. You may remove more than one channel this way.
4. Turn the radio OFF and then turn back ON, or EXIT and reenter the scanning mode by pressing Scan/Monitor button to restore and remove channel(s) to the scan list.
5. You cannot remove the “Home Channel” from the scan list.
6. In the Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for one transmission. You must take note of that code, exit scan and set the detected code on that channel to permanently use the detected code.
