Content of the package

• 2 transceivers with belt clip

• 1 USB cable

• 1 double fast desktop charger

• 2 rechargeable battery packs 700mAh

Coverage (referred to PMR frequency band)

The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use

in an open space.

The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such

as blockage caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Inside a car or a

metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally the coverage in

the city, with buidings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space

but with obstructions like trees, leafs or houses the maximum possible range is

about 4-6 Km. In open space, without obstructions and in sight, like for exam-

ple in mountain, the coverage can be 10 Km.

Above all….Safety!

Warnings

! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and

electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason,

the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been

calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transcei-

ver will void the warranty.

! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment.

Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth

with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.

Batteries

! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make

sure that when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH batteries

should be contained in the battery compartment! It is very dangerous at-

tempting to recharge other types of batteries (for example alkaline or man-

ganese batteries). Batteries which are not suitable to be recharged may leak,

explode or even burn and cause damage!

! Using a dierent battery charger other than the one speciﬁed can cause da-

mage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.

! Do not throw batteries into ﬁre or place them near heat as this may cause ex-

plosions or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures

set out by local regulations.

! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of dierent types or batteries

which have been used in dierent manners.

Preparing the transceiver

The radio can be recharged with dierent type of batteries: here below the

possibilities.

Note: To optimize the recharge process, we suggest you switch othe radio to

recharge it.

Recharging the NIMH batteries (3 x AAA)

Place your transceiver into the cradle of the desktop charger or connect the

USB cable to the proper jack of the radio.

This type of batteries is recharged with a constant current, either you use a

desktop charger or a USB cable; therefore the recharge time depends from

the recharge status and from the batteries capacity.

There’s no evidence when the recharge is ﬁnished, therefore we suggest you

detach the USB cable from the radio or remove XT60 from the desktop char-

ger cradle once the recharge is complete.

Recharging the NIMH battery pack PB-X6 700mAh

Place your transceiver into the cradle of the desktop charger or connect the

USB cable to the proper jack of the radio.

This type of batteries is recharged with a constant current, therefore a comple-

te recharge takes about 3 hours.

There’s no evidence when the recharge is ﬁnished, therefore we suggest you

detach the USB cable from the radio or remove XT60 from the desktop char-

ger cradle after 3 hours.

Basic operation

Turning on/o

To turn on the transceiver, turn the VOLUME knob clockwise until you hear it

clicks: the LCD display will light up and do an Auto-Test. Subsequently you will

hear 2 beeps of dierent tones.

To turn othe transceiver, turn the knob counter-clockwise until you hear

another click.

Volume control

Turn the knob VOLUME to about half way and adjust it to a comfortable level

as soon as you receive a signal. If you do not receive a signal you can use the

button MON/SCAN described in par. “MON button”.

Transmission and reception

When you press the PTT the transceiver transmits with high or low power (de-

pending on the setting of the MENU: Hor L).

To transmit:

1. Make sure that no one else is currently talking on the selected channel;

2. Keep button PTT ﬁrmly pressed: TX and To will appear on the display;

3. Before you start talking wait for a fraction of a second then speak normal-

ly, in the direction of the microphone.

4. When you have ﬁnished, release the PTT: TX and To will disappear from

the display;

5. When the radio is in reception mode (PTT not pressed) you will automa-

tically receive any communication (RX displayed).

During transmission and reception try, as far as possible, to keep the antenna in

vertical position and to avoid obstacles towards the direction of the other party.

XT60 user’s manual | 9

MON button (Monitor)

The Monitor button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch, in order

to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the squelch permanently opened.

By excluding the squelch you will avoid listening the communication “chopped”

by the squelch. In order to activate the Monitor function, so as to listen to

all trac on the selected channel, keep pressed the MON/SCAN button for

about 3 seconds. Keep pressed the button MON/SCAN for about 3 seconds

to disable this function.

Scanning all channels

XT60 can automatically search for signals throughout the PMR/LPD bands

by scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is de-

tected, the scanning pauses on that channel and you can transmit by pushing

PTT . If you press PTT during scanning you can transmit on the channel from

which the scanning started. The scroll buttons / allow you to change the

direction of scanning (from lower channels to higher ones or vice versa) and

therefore to skip communications which are of no interest.

Press brieﬂy the button MON/SCAN to start scanning.

If you want to stop it, press again MON/SCAN. Your transceiver will go back

to the channel from which the scanning originally started.

Display backlight

If there is insucient light to read the display you can press the MENU button

to switch the display back light on for about 5 seconds.

Switching the backlight on the display adds an additional drain on the batteries.

Try to make a moderate use of this.

Keypad lock

Keep pressed CALL/ for about 5 seconds and will be displayed as conﬁr-

mation. Only PTT and CALL/ remain active. To disable this function, keep

pressed again CALL/ for 5 seconds approx.
