Battery Recharge
The PRO5X is equipped with a 7.4V Li-ion rechargeable battery pack, which can be
recharged by connecting the socket of the AC/DC wall adaptor to a mains power socket
and inserting the jack of the wall adaptor into the desktop charger plug.
It takes approximately 5 hours to fully recharge the radio.
The LED of the desktop charger indicates the status of the recharge:
Red = Charging, Green = Full Charge.
For maximum battery life, we recommend you to charge the battery pack when the radio
is switched off and the battery pack is fully discharged.
Note:
Using a different battery charger other than the one specified can cause damage to your device or may
even cause explosions and personal injuries. Warranty will be voided.
The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption of up to 50% and
saves the battery life. If it has been set, it automatically activates when the transceiver
does not receive any signal for more than 5 seconds. Power saving can be disabled only
through the Programming software.
Operations
Power On/Off and Volume Adjustment
Rotate the PWR/VOL knob clockwise to turn the radio on.
Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to adjust the volume level as preferred.
To turn the radio off, rotate the control counter-clockwise until hearing a
mechanical “click”.
Transmission and Reception
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
Briefly press the Function key 1 to enable the Monitor feature in order to make sure that the
frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.
Release the PTT key to receive.
Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is important
not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and use the transmission mode
sparingly to allow other users to talk.
Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and should therefore be used
sparingly to prolong the battery life.
If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving, the station
may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.
