PREPARATION
CHARGING THE Ni-MH BATTERY PACK
The initial charging of the battery pack after purchase or
extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the
battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After repeating
the charge/discharge cycle 2 or 3 times, the operating
capacity should increase to normal.
◆
◆
Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged.
Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the
battery pack may be damaged.
After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger.
Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the
battery pack life due to overcharging.
Note:
◆
◆
◆
The ambient temperature should be between 41°F and 104°F
(5°C and 40°C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside
this range may not fully charge the battery.
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a Ni-MH
battery pack before charging. Using the transceiver while
charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases
even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery
pack.

The charger LED lights red and
charging begins.
When charging is completed, the indicator lights green.
Remove the battery pack or the transceiver with a battery
pack from the charger.
4
It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery pack.
When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the
AC adapter from the AC outlet.
5
INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it
before use {pages 5 and 6}.
Average battery pack life (calculated using 5% transmit time,
5% receive time, and 90% standby time) is 18 hours when
using the dealer set Battery Save function, and 14 hours
when not using the Battery Save function.

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver
hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must
use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in
microphone. For best operating conditions, we recommend
you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a
microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when the
transceiver transmits. Because of this, you must take care
that the ambient noise around you is not so loud that it causes
the transceiver to transmit. Due to the automatic switching
between transmission and reception, we recommend you set
the VOX Gain level such that it will not activate transmission
when in an area with excessive ambient noise.
VOX GAIN
To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level:
With the transceiver power OFF,
connect the headset to the transceiver
{page 8}.
1
The VOX function does not activate
when a headset is not connected to
the speaker/ microphone jack of the
transceiver.
Press and hold the Lock key while
turning the transceiver power ON.
Continue to hold the Lock key until the
LED lights orange and the transceiver
announces “VOX”, then release the key.
Upon releasing the key, the transceiver
will announce the current VOX Gain level.
2
1
10
Press the Lock key to increase the
VOX Gain level and the Scan key
to decrease the level.
The VOX Gain can be adjusted from
level 1 to level 10 and OFF.
3
The transceiver announces the VOX
Gain level as you adjust it. If OFF is
selected, the transceiver announces “Off”.
Press the PTT switch within 5 seconds
to save the setting, otherwise the
operation will cancel.
4
5
A beep will sound and the transceiver
will announce the new VOX Gain level.
Turn the transceiver power OFF and
then ON again to activate VOX.
Note:
◆
VOX Gain level 1 is the least sensitive and VOX Gain level 10 is
the most sensitive.
◆
If a speaker/ microphone is connected to the transceiver while
the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is
configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received
signals may cause the transceiver to start transmission.
◆
The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if no
action is performed for 5 seconds.
11
VOX OPERATION
Set up a VOX Gain level from 1 to 10 {page 10}.
1
To transmit, simply speak into the headset microphone.
You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver
automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting.
2
To stop transmitting, stop speaking.
Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop
speaking, so ensure your transmission will not be cut off.

To exit VOX mode, set the VOX Gain level {page 10} to
OFF.
Note:
◆
While transmitting via VOX, all keys other than power OFF are
disabled.
◆
◆
When you operate the VOX function, you must use an optional
KHS-1 or KHS-22 accessory.
VOX will not operate when the battery level becomes too low.
(The LED will flash red in this state.)

KEY FUNCTIONS
LOCK KEY
The default function of the Lock key is Super Lock.
Super Lock is designed to prevent accidental function
changes on your transceiver, during operation.
Press and hold the Lock key for 4 seconds to lock the
transceiver keys. The following keys/ functions can still be
used when Super Lock is active: Calling Alert, Monitor,
Monitor Momentary, PTT, Squelch Off, Squelch Off
Momentary, and Volume.
To deactivate Super Lock, with the transceiver power OFF,
press and hold the Scan key for 2 seconds while turning the
transceiver power ON.
•
When the LED lights orange, release the Scan key. A
confirmation tone will sound.
SCAN KEY
The default function of the Scan key is Scan + Temporary
Delete.
You can scan the channels of the transceiver to search for a
signal. When the transceiver verifies a signal on a channel, it
proceeds to check whether or not its QT/ DQT setting
matches that which is set up on your transceiver (if any).
If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel
and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/
DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning
continues.
Note: You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels
available on your transceiver that are not locked out of Scan.
13
To start scanning, press the Scan key.
•
The LED indicator flashes green and scanning starts from the
current channel and ascends through the channel numbers.
•
When a signal is detected on a channel and the QT/ DQT
matches, scan pauses at that channel and the LED indicator
lights green.
•
When the signal is no longer present, scanning continues after 3
seconds (default).
To end Scan, press the Scan key again.
■ Temporary Delete
You can temporarily remove specific channels from the
scanning sequence during Scan. When Scan pauses at a
channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning
sequence by pressing and holding the Scan key for
3 seconds.
•
You cannot remove a channel if there will be less than
2 channels available for scanning remaining.
•
To add the removed channels back into the Scan list, simply
exit Scan mode or switch the transceiver power OFF and then
ON again.
14
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent you from
using a channel for an extended period of time. This function
is useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the PTT
switch pressed. Additionally, by limiting the amount of time
you can continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on
battery power consumption.
If you continuously transmit for 60 seconds (default), the
transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound.
To stop the tone, release the PTT switch. You can press the
PTT switch again to resume transmitting.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be
recharged or replaced.
While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes
low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED
indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack
at this time.
15
QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) are functions that
reject signals from undesired parties that are using the same
channel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker only
when you receive a signal that contains a QT tone or a DQT
code that matches the one set up on the channel you are
using. If a call containing a different tone or code is made on
the same channel you are using, squelch will not open and
you will not hear the call. Likewise, when you transmit on a
channel set up with QT or DQT, the receiving station must
have a matching tone or code in order to hear your call.
Although it may seem like you have your own private channel
while using QT or DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if
they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
The default QT/ DQT settings for each channel is 67.0 Hz.
16
CHANNEL SETUP MODE
This transceiver allows you to reprogram each of the channels
with different frequencies and Quiet Talk/ Digital Quiet Talk
settings. The table below lists the default channel
frequencies. All channels are set with a 67.0 Hz QT tone by

CALLING ALERT
Calling alert tones are used to identify yourself to your party
members and inform them that you are about to make a call.
Your dealer can set up your transceiver with 1 of several
different calling alert tones. If each party member uses a
different calling alert tone, it is easy to know who is making
the call
To make a call using the calling alert tone, press and hold the
PTT switch, then press the key programmed as Calling Alert.
•
The calling alert tone will transmit for the duration you press the
Calling Alert key.
KEY LOCK
Press and hold the key programmed as Key Lock for
1 second to lock/ unlock the transceiver keys. The following
keys/ functions can still be used when Key Lock is active:
Calling Alert, Key Lock, Monitor, Monitor Momentary, PTT,
Squelch Off, Squelch Off Momentary, and Volume.
•
When the transceiver power is turned OFF and then ON again,
the Key Lock function will be cancelled.
SUPER LOCK
Press and hold the key programmed as Super Lock for
4 seconds to lock the transceiver keys. The following keys/
functions can still be used when Super Lock is active: Calling
Alert, Monitor, Monitor Momentary, PTT, Squelch Off, Squelch
Off Momentary, and Volume.
To deactivate Super Lock, with the transceiver power OFF,
press and hold the Scan key for 2 seconds while turning the
transceiver power ON.
•
When the LED lights orange, release the Scan key. A
confirmation tone will sound.
28
MONITOR/ SQUELCH OFF
You can use the key programmed as Monitor or Squelch Off to
listen to weak signals that you cannot hear during normal
operation, to deactivate channel signaling, and to adjust the
volume when no signals are present on your selected channel.
•
•
•
•
Monitor: Momentarily press to deactivate QT or DQT signaling.
Press the key again to return to normal operation.
Monitor Momentary: Press and hold to deactivate QT or DQT
signaling. Release the key to return to normal operation.
Squelch Off: Momentarily press to hear background noise.
Press the key again to return to normal operation.
Squelch Off Momentary: Press and hold to hear background
noise. Release the key to return to normal operation.
SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels.
When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each
channel and only stops if a signal is present.
If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel
and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/
DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.
Note: You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels
available on your transceiver that are not locked out of Scan.
To start scanning, momentarily press the key programmed as
either Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete.
•
•
The LED indicator flashes green and scanning starts from the
current channel and ascends through the channel numbers.
When a signal is detected on a channel and the QT/ DQT
matches, scan pauses at that channel and the LED indicator
lights green.
•
When the signal is no longer present, scanning continues after 3
seconds (default).
To end Scan, press the Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete
key again.
29
■ Temporary Delete
You can temporarily remove specific channels from the
scanning sequence during Scan. When Scan pauses at a
channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning
sequence by pressing and holding the key programmed as
Temporary Delete for 1 second or Scan + Temporary
Delete for 3 seconds.
•
You cannot remove a channel if there will be less than
2 channels available for scanning remaining.
•
To add the removed channels back into the Scan list, simply
exit Scan mode or switch the transceiver power OFF and then
ON again.
SCRAMBLER
Whereas the Quiet Talk and Digital Quiet Talk functions
{page 16} allows you to ignore unwanted calls, Scrambler
allows you to hold a conversation in complete privacy. When
activated, any other party listening in on your channel will be
unable to understand your conversation. The transceiver
scrambles your voice so that anybody listening to your
conversation will not be able to understand what you are
saying.
In order for members of your own group to understand your
call while you are using the Scrambler, all other members
must also activate the Scrambler on their transceivers. This
scrambles everybody’s voice while transmitting and
unscrambles the voice message on your own transceiver
when you receive the message.
To activate the Scrambler, press the key programmed as
Scrambler.
To deactivate the Scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.
30
ALL RESET MODE
At some point in time, you may desire to reset the transceiver
settings to their default values. This function will reset all
channels to their default frequencies and QT/ DQT, the VOX
function to its default status, and all keys to their default
functions.
To reset the transceiver:
With the transceiver power OFF, press
and hold the PTT switch, the Lock key,
and the Scan key while turning the
transceiver power ON.
1
1
Continue to hold the keys for 2 seconds,
until the LED lights orange.

operation.
