3. Opsætning og installation

3.1 Montering af radioen

1. Choose a secure and accessible location in your vehicle for the radio unit. Ensure it does not obstruct driving or safety devices.
2. Brug det medfølgende monteringsbeslag som skabelon til at markere boresteder.
3. Drill pilot holes and securely attach the mounting bracket using the supplied screws.
4. Slide the radio unit into the mounting bracket until it locks into place.

3.2 Strømtilslutning

1. Connect the supplied DC power cable to the radio's power input port.
2. Connect the red wire of the power cable to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's 13.8V DC power source (typically directly to the battery or a fused accessory circuit).
3. Connect the black wire of the power cable to the negative (-) terminal or a good chassis ground point.
4. Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er sikre og korrekt isolerede for at forhindre kortslutninger.

3.3 Antenneforbindelse

1. Connect a suitable VHF/UHF antenna (not included) to the antenna connector on the rear of the radio.
2. Ensure the antenna is properly tuned for the operating frequency band to prevent damage to the radio's transmitter.

3.4 Mikrofonforbindelse

1. Plug the microphone cable into the microphone jack on the front panel of the radio.

Important Note: The radio's surface can become hot during prolonged use. Avoid touching the heat sink area after extended operation.

Firmware Warning: This unit comes with the latest firmware. Do not attempt to update the firmware further, as this may cause irreversible damage or malfunction.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1 Grundlæggende betjening

1. Tænd/sluk: Press and hold the power button (usually marked with a ⑂ symbol) on the front panel to turn the radio on or off.
2. Lydstyrkekontrol: Drej VOL-knappen for at justere lydudgangsniveauet.
3. Valg af kanal/frekvens: Use the Channel knob or the microphone's keypad to select desired channels or input frequencies.
4. Squelch Level (SQL): Adjust the SQL setting (0-9 grades) to control the receiver's sensitivity to background noise. A higher setting requires a stronger signal to open the squelch.
5. Send (TX): Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) button on the microphone to transmit. Release it to receive.

4.2 Avancerede funktioner
