Operations
Battery recharge
D-200 is equipped for using 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 adap-
tor into the desktop charger plug.
It takes 6 hours to fully recharge the radio.
For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack
when the D-200 is off and the battery pack is fully discharged.
! Using a different battery charger other than the one specified can cau-
se damage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal
injuries.
The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption
of up to 50%. If it has been set, it automatically activates when the tran-
sceiver does not receive any signal for more than 5 seconds in order to
save the battery life. Power saving can be disabled only through the Pro-
gramming software.
Power on/off and volume adjustment
Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio on.
Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to adjust the volume le-
vel as you prefer.
To turn the radio off, rotate the control counter-clockwise till you hear a
mechanical “click”.
Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same chan-
nel.
DPMR446: we underline that in the digital protocol you can communica-
te only with radios having the same vocoder (voice encoder).
The vocoder is an electronic system inside the radio that is able to deco-
de audio signals. D-200 uses AMBE 2C vocoder.
