号还在，对讲机也会继续进行扫描：Time scanning, the walkie-talkie pauses scanning when it
detects a signal, and after staying stopped for about 5 seconds, the walkie-talkie will continue
scanning even if the signal is still there.
载波方式扫描，对讲机在检测到一个信道时暂停扫描并保持在相同频率上，直到信号消失
在信号消失和扫描恢复之间有一段 2 秒钟的迟延让响应有时间开始传送：Carrier scanning,
the two-way radio pauses scanning when a channel is detected and keeps it on the same
frequency until the signal disappears. There is a 2 second delay between the disappearance of
the signal and the resumption of scanning to allow time for the response to begin transmission.

relayed through the repeater, it will make noise to confirm whether the signal of the radio is
relayed.
松开 PTT 后机器发出关机码，抑制收听方出现的瞬间噪声: After releasing the PTT, the radio
will send a turn-off code to suppress the instant noise of the receiver.

扫频功能 Frequency scan

Scan other radios’ CTCSS/DCS and frequency to make a contact.
After defining the side key function as a frequency scan function, turn it on through the side key. This
function can scan the frequency of U/V/200M/350M, and switch the frequency band to be scanned by
the [P1] key. After scanning the frequency, it will continue to scan CTCSS/DCS. If there is no
CTCSS/DCS, the screen will display 'NONE' and end the scan. At this time, the scanned data can be
saved to the designated channel through the 【 图 标 】 key and the frequency scan function can be
launched. Or through【图标】or【图标】to start the next frequency scan.

DTMF
A. DTMF encode
Quick transmitting Encode: In transmitting status, press digit keys, 【 图 标 】 *, # to transmit DTMF
encode 0-9, ABCD*#. Press key to continuously encode transmitting and release to end encode
transmitting.
Transmitting encode after editing: In standby mode, press [#] key to enter DTMF edit menu, input 0-
9,ABCD*#, if less 6 digits then press [#] as ending. Done editing, press PTT to transmitting DTMF. In
edit mode press 【图标】to delete encode, then press【图标】 to exit DTMF edit mode.

B. DTMF Decode

ANI Name Display

To indicator which radio is transmitting. 60 group names can be selected.
50 groups name are radio 1 to radio 50. The rest of 10 group names can be edited via programming
software.

GPS function
Press 【图标】or【图标】to enter the GPS positioning interface. At the same time, you can switch the
coordinate display mode and the image mode. It also has the backtracking function. You can store the
starting point position in advance, and you can view the direction and distance to the current position in
real time to ensure that you won't get lost in the wild.
