■Care and Safety

Your GT-18 was designed to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.

As for all the electronically devices, we recommend you to follow this few suggestions:

• Do not attempt to open the unit. Non-expert handling of the unit may damage it and/or annul the warranty.

• When using regulated power supply, take notice of power voltage that must be 5V to avoid damages.

• High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the radio in dusty or dirty areas.

• Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.

• If it appears that the Radio diffuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut off its power immediately and take off the charger or battery from the

Radio.

• Do not transmit without antenna.

• To clean the radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvents because they can harm the body of the unit and leak

inside, causing permanent damage.

• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery contacts.

■Hazardous Environments

Do not operate the radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting

caps.

Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your radio OFF to prevent accidental

transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set

off explosives.

BATTERY RECHAGRE

GT-18 is equipped for using a 3,7V Li-ion rechargeable battery pack which can be recharged by connecting the USB cable to the radio and to a

USB-charger (5V-1A). It takes 5 hours to fully recharge the radio.

For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the BF-GT-18 is off and the battery pack is fully discharged.

The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption of up to 50%. If it has been set, it automatically activates when the

transceiver does not receive any signal for more than 5 seconds in order to save the battery life.

The Power saving function is activated by default and can be modified only by soft-ware.

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.

OPERATIONS

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 level as you

prefer. To turn the radio off, rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a mechanical “click”.

Channel selection

In standby mode, directly press the /key to step down or down to select the channel. Press and hold the /key to quickly switch

channels down or up. The corresponding channel is displayed digitally. When the voice prompt function is turned on, the corresponding channel

is broadcast by voice.

Transmission

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel. Briefly press the MONI key to enable the Monitor feature in order to

make sure that the frequency is not busy, and then press the [PTT] key. 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.

Monitor

The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch, in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently

opened. Hold down the MONI key to enable such function.

Scan

This function can only be activated by programming software. To enable the scan function, all 16 channels must be programmed. When the radio

is turned on, press and hold the and keys at the same time, and scanning will start automatically. Whenever any signal is detected, the scan

stops on a busy channel. If you press and hold PTT, you will send on the latest busy channel. Press any function key to exit the scanning state.

Flashlight

With GT-18 turned on, shortly press the LAMP to turn on/off the flashlight at the top side of the radio.

VOX

The VOX feature enables hands free conversations without using PTT: just speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will

be automatically activated. The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 5 different levels (1…5) through the programming software:

Level 2 is set by default and has the lowest VOX sensitivity, 5 is the lowest one.

With the programming software you can enable/disable the VOX feature and select the sensitivity levels.

CPS programming path: Edit > VOX > VOX Level

Squelch

The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows receiving even weak signals. GT-18 has 10 different Squelch levels that can

be set by programming software: 0 means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9 you will have different levels of noise reduction.

The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch. By default, the Squelch level of GT-18 is set on level 4. Make sure you do not set an

excessively high squelch level because in this case you may not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an excessively low Squelch

value could enable the Squelch even when no signals are present. Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present. The Time Out

timer is settable from 30 sec to 270 sec. only through the programming software. This feature is disabled by default.

CTCSS/DCS tones

CTCSS and DCS tones are similar to access codes and enable the radio to communicate only with the users that are tuned on the same channel

and have set the same code. For each channel, you can set up to 50 CTCSS tones and 210 DCS codes. The CTCSS/DCS tones are a sort of

“access codes” and enable the radio to communicate only with the other users set on the same frequency and on the same CTCSS/DCS tone.

Undesired signals coming from other stations set on the same frequency but with different CTCSS/DCS tones won’t be received.
