SHORTCUT MENU OPERATION

1. Press the key MENU,then press the key ▲ ▼ or to select the desired menu.
2. Press the key MENU again, come to the parameter setting.
3. Press the key ▲ or ▼ to select the desired parameter.
4. Press the key MENU to confirm and save, press the key EXIT to cancel setting or clear the input.

Note:

• Under channel mode, the following menu settings are invalid: CTCSS,DCS,W/N,PTT‐ID,BCL,SCAN ADD TO,S‐CODE,CHANNEL NAME. Only the H/L power could be changed by pressing '#'.

"SQL" (SQUELCH)

• The squelch mute the speaker of the transceiver in the absence of reception. With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually receiving signals and significantly reduces battery current consumption. It is recommended that you set Level 5.

FUNCTION "VOX" (VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION)

• This function is not necessary to push the [PTT] on the transceiver for a transmission. Transmission is activated automatically by detecting the radio voice. When finish speaking, the transmission automatically terminated and the transceiver will automatically receive signal. Be sure to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to allow smooth transmission.

SELECT WIDEBAND OR NARROW BAND "W/N" (12.5kHz/6.25kHz)

In areas where the RF signals are saturated, you must use the narrow band of transmission to avoid interference in adjacent channels.

TDR (DUAL WATCH/DUAL RECEPTION)

This feature allows you to operate between frequency A and frequency B. Periodically, the transceiver checks whether a signal is received on another frequency that we have scheduled. If you receive a signal, the unit will remain in the frequency until the received signal disappears.

TOT(TRANSMISSION TIMER)

This function can automatically control the time we transmit each time you press [PTT] on the transceiver. This feature is very useful to avoid overheating excessive power transistors of the transceiver. The transceiver will be off transmission automatically once the set time.

CTCSS/DCS

In some cases only want to establish communications in a closed user group at a particular frequency or channel, for it will use "CTCSS" or code "DCS" for reception. The "squelch" opens only when receiving a frequency with "CTCSS" or codes "DCS" same as the programmed in your transceiver. If codes of the received signal differs from those programmed in your transceiver, the "squelch" will not open and the received signal can be heard.

Note:

• The use of "CTCSS" or "DCS" in a communication, does not guarantee complete confidentiality communication.

ANI

• ANI (Automatic Number Identification) is also known as PTT ID because an ID is transmitted when the PTT button of the radio is pressed and/or released. This ID tells the dispatcher which field radio was keyed. Only could be set by PC software.

DTMFST (DTMF TONE OF TRANSMITTING CODE)

First you should set the PTT‐ID as BOT/EOT/BOTH

• "OFF"—Under transmitting mode, you can't hear the DTMF tone, while you press the key to transmit the code or code automatically transmitted.
• "DT‐ST"—Under transmitting mode, you can hear the DTMF tone, while you press the key to transmit the code.
• "ANI‐ST"—under transmitting mode, you can hear the DTMF tone, while the code automatically transmitted.
• "DT‐ANI"—under transmitting mode, you can hear the DTMF tone, while you press the key to transmit the code or the code automatically transmitted.

SC -REV (SCAN RESUME METHOD)

This transceiver allows you to scan memory channels, all the bands or part of the bands. When the transceiver detects a communication, the scan will stop automatically.

Notes:

• "TO" (Time Operation):
  Scanning will stop when it detects an active signal. The scanning will stop on each channel or active frequency for a predetermined time, after that time the scan will resume automatically.
• "CO" (Carrier Operation):
  The scanning will stop and remain in the frequency or channel, until the active signal disappears.
• "SE"(Search Operation):
  The scanning will stop and remain in the frequency or channel after it detects an active signal.

PTT- ID (PTT OR RELEASE PTT TO TRANSMIT THE SIGNAL CODE)

• This feature allows you to know who call you.
• "OFF"—Don't transmit the code while push the PTT button.
• "BOT"‐Transmit the code while push the PTT button.(the code only could be set by PC software.)
• "EOT"‐Transmit the code while release the PTT button.
• "BOTH"‐Transmit the code while push or release the PTT button.

BCL (BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT)

The BCLO feature prevents the radio's transmitter from being activated if a signal strong enough to break through the "noise" squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own tone decoder).

SFT- D (DIRECTION OF FREQUENCY SHIFT)

The "OFFSET" is the difference or offset between the reception frequency and the frequency of transmission for access to amateur radio repeaters. Set the "OFFSET" according to the "OFFSET" amateur radio repeater through which want to communicate.

OFFSET (FREQUENCY SHIFT)

When communicating via a repeater, the direction of displacement of frequency should be timed to the displacement of the transmission frequency is higher or lower than the receiving frequency. example: If we want to make a communication through amateur radio repeater whose frequency input is 145,000 MHz and 145,600 MHz is output, we select the "OFFSET" of the previous section in 0600 and the direction of travel "SHIFT" programmed to [-], so the transceiver will always 145,600 MHz in frequency and when you press [PTT] to transmit transceiver, the frequency will automatically move to 145,000 MHz.

Note: Under VFO mode, you can do like this. If you need the TX and RX frequency different under Channel mode, you can directly store different RX and TX frequency into one channel through MENU 27.

STE (TAIL TONE ELIMATION)

This function is used to activate or deactivate the transmission end of the transceiver. this final tone transmission only be used in communications between transceivers and not in communications through a repeater, which must be deactivated.

THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SAVE CHANNEL

A complete memory channel includes RX frequency, TX frequency, CTCSS, DCS, RF Power, Bandwidth, PTT-ID, BCL, ANI, Scan add to, Channel Name, etc. Except for the setting of Scan add to and Channel Name, other settings could be finished by keypad under VFO mode.

Example: We want programming all the data into CH106, please do as following:

RX Frequency	440.625MHz
TX Frequency	430.625MHz
RX CTCSS	100.0Hz
TX DCS	250.3Hz
RF Power	High
Bandwidth	Wide
PTT-ID	OFF

1. We have to check whether there are any data in CH106 or not. Come to MENU 28, if there is a 'CH' before '106', that means there are data. So please delete it and you will find there is not a 'CH' before '106', or else you can't have new data in this channel.
2. Press and hold [MENU] key, then power on, come to VFO mode. Press [EXIT/AB] key to select frequency A (UP).
3. Enter 440.625MHz
4. Now through the MENU, you can set other parameters. CTCSS,DCS, RF Power, Bandwidth, etc.
5. After you finish all the other settings, press [MENU] key, then come to MENU 27, press [MENU] key two times, you will know all the data have been stored into CH106, however now only RX frequency was stored. At the same time, you press [MENU] key another two times, you will store the TX frequency, of course the TX and RX frequency are same.

Note: If you want the TX frequency 430.625 stored into CH106, you should do the same steps after you store the RX frequency into CH106.

CTCSS/DCS SCANNING

Before setting the CTCSS/DCS scanning, you should have a RX frequency and cancel the Dual Standby function, ensure the radio is working under VFO mode. Come to MENU 11, press [MENU] one time, then press [*/SCAN] key, at the same time, you should press the PTT of another radio, then you will see the CTCSS scanning automatically. When the scanning stops, that means you find the same CTCSS as that of another radio, now press [MENU] to store the CTCSS.

REPEATER TAIL TONE

We all know that repeaters receive on one frequency and simultaneously retransmit that same information on a different frequency. We hear the courtesy tone almost every time we use the repeater. It's that innocuous beep that lets us know that the repeater is alive and, most importantly, that it has heard us. The MENU 35, 36,37 are very helpful settings while your radio work through repeater. MENU 35 and MENU 36 better be set OFF. The parameter of MENU 37 is from 1-10, better set 5.

The radio does not start.	The battery is low, replace the battery with a charged battery or proceed to the battery. The battery is not installed correctly, remove the battery and reattach it.
The battery runs down quickly.	The battery life has come to an end, replace the battery with a new one. The battery is fully charged, make sure the battery is made in full.
The receiving indicator LED lights but do not hear the speaker.	Make sure the volume setting is too low. Make sure the undertones "CTCSS" or code "DCS" are the same as those programmed in the transceiver of the other members of your group.
When transmitting, the other members of his group do not receive the communication.	Make sure the undertones "CTCSS" or code "DCS" programmed in your transceiver are the same as those programmed in the transceiver of the other members of your group. Your partner or you, are too far. You or your partner are in a bad area of RF signal propagation.
In "standby" mode, the transceiver transmits without pressing the "PTT".	Check the level adjustment function "VOX" is not set too sensitive.
Receive communications from other user groups while communicating with your group.	Change frequency or channel. Change the undertones "CTCSS" or code "DCS" in your group.
Communication with other members of your group is poor or low quality.	You or your partner is too far away or in an area of poor radio signal propagation, such as inside a tunnel, inside an underground car park, in a mountainous area, including large metal structures, etc..
Once these checks, if you still have problems with the transceiver, check with your distributor, dealer or service center.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your BAOFENG radio generates RF electromagnetic en-ergy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only", meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, Warning and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is not intended for use by the "General Population" in an uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only." In addition, your Quansheng radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

• KDB 865664 D01 SAR Measurement 100 MHz to 6 GHz v01r03, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1–1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3–1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potential y Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields— RF and Microwave.

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following CAUTION guidelines:

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the "TX indicator" lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT" switch.
• ALWAYS use BAOFENG authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. Body-worn operations are restricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly and that provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna, and the user's body. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your BAOFENG radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

This device complies with Part 90 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must except any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
