Content of the package

• 2 transceivers with belt clip

• 1 wall adaptor

• 1 double fast desktop charger

• 2 rechargeable battery packs 700mAh

• 2 earphone mikes MA21L (only in the Hobby&Work version)

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 12 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.

Recharging the NIMH battery pack

PB70 PRO 700 mAh

Place your transceiver into the cradle of the desktop charger.

A complete recharge takes about 3 hours.

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

detach the wall adaptor from the radio or remove XT70 PRO from the desktop

charger cradle after 4 hours.

Recharging process

While the radio is being charged, the battery icon on the display will be blinking.

When the recharge is complete, the battery icon will be steady and will show

all its bars.

Memory eect of rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydrate) batteries are aected by what

is known as the “memory eect”. This phenomenon is associated with a drastic

reduction of battery autonomy and is triggered if the batteries are regularly

charged before being fully discharged and/or are not completely recharged. To

avoid the memory eect:

• When possible, recharge the batteries only when they are completely di-

scharged (until the device turns itself o during normal use)

• Do not disconnect the battery charger before the time indicated for a full

battery charge.

The memory eect should not be confused with the normal battery life, which

is 300-400 cycles of charge/discharge on average. It is completely normal for

operating duty to decrease when the batteries have reached the end of their life;

at this point, you will need to substitute the batteries.

Installing/removing the battery pack

1. Remove the belt clip;

2. Open the battery compartment;

3. Remove or insert the battery pack;

4. Close the battery cover and ﬁx the belt clip.

Basic operations

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”.

Displaying the channel/sub audio tone

To momentarily display the PMR446 channel and the subadio tone used in

the pre-set channels, go to the desired channel (from 17p to 32p) and keep

pressed the ▼for 3 seconds.

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.

8 | XT70 PRO user’s manual

Transmitting TOT Setting

The TOT function is used to prevent a too long transmission. This function

temporarily blocks transmissions if the radio has been used beyond the

maximum time permitted. Once reached the preset timer (180 seconds), the

radio will be forced in reception mode.

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

XT70 PRO can automatically search for signals throughout the PMR/LPD

bands by scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid sequence.

Press brieﬂy the button MON/SCAN to start scanning.

When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that channel and you can

transmit by pushing PTT . 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.

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.

Backlight always on

It is also possible to have the backlight always on.

In PMR446 mode, press 13 times the MENU button, the display will show

“bl of”.
