Charging the Battery Pack
Prior to the first use, the battery pack should be charged complete-
ly. A full charging cycle takes approximately 3 - 4 hours.
Connect the USB plug of the cable with the charging adapter and
connect the adapter with a 220 V socket. Next, connect the cable
with the charging jack (12) of the TeCom-PS.
For charging the battery pack, the radio has to be turned on. The
charging status is displayed in the upper right corner. If all three
bars are displayed, the charging process is finished.
Caution: Over-charging reduces the longevity of the battery pack
and increases the temperature of the radio. After completion of the
charging process remove the adapter of the 220 V socket and
separate the connection between cable and radio.
On / Off
Turning the combined On/Off- and volume switch (5), which is located
in the upper section of the twin rotary selector, clockwise, turns the
radio on. Upon activated beep tone, you will hear an acoustic signal.
To turn the radio off, turn the volume switch clockwise until it locks in.
Volume
To set the optimal volume level after turning the radio on, press the
monitor key (10) while turning the combined ON/OFF - volume con-
trol (5) clockwise until a comfortable volume level has been set.
Channel Selection
For channel selection, navigation of the menu and setup of parame-
ters use the lower part (3) of the two-part rotary selector. Turning the
channel selector clockwise increases the channel number; turning the
channel selector counter-clockwise decreases the channel number.
Transmit
To transmit, keep the PTT key (9) pressed until the end of the mes-
sage. For best performance, talk with middle-loud voice in a distance
of 10 cm into the microphone (4).
During the transmission, the control LED (6) lights red. After release
of the PTT key, the radio automatically returns to reception mode.
Scan
The scan function is started and stopped with the key MR.
Reception
If a signal is received on the actual channel, the control LED (6)
lights green. If CTCSS/DCS coding is activated for the actual chan-
nel, the speaker remains muted for all signals that have a different
CTCSS/DCS coding, i.e. the control LED lights green but the spea-
ker remains muted. Only signals with the same coding are audible.
Attention: The CTCSS/DCS coding serves only the purpose of filtering
unwanted signals; it does not guarantee privacy. Radios with deacti-
vated CTCSS/DCS coding will hear all signals regardless if a
CTCSS/DCS code is attached or not.
KEY FUNCTIONS
PTT Key
The PTT key (9) is located on the left side of the TeCom-PS.
Pressing the PTT key activates the transmit mode. During transmis-
sion, the control LED (6) lights red.
Monitor Key
The monitor key (10) is located on the left side of the TeCom-PS,
below the PTT key (9).
As long as the monitor key is pressed, the squelch is deactivated and
a constant noise is audible.
Use the monitor function to listen to weak signals that are filtered by
the activated squelch function. The monitor key is also useful to set a
comfortable volume level after turning the radio on.

The function key (11), is located on the left side of the TeCom-PS,
below the monitor key (10).
Via software one of the following functions can be assigned: Alarm
Lamp, i.e. background light or repeater tone 1450 / 1750 / 2315 Hz.
. By default, the Lamp mode is programmed.
