Before Operating the Transceiver

• Attention

Do not open the case or touch the interior components. Tampering e,1I1 Cause equipment trouble.

Do not expose the transceiver to direct sunlight. dusty places or place it near sources of heat.

Keep rhe transceiver away trom TV,. tuners 01' other equipment if i[ interferes with reception.

Securely connect the antenna included with the transceiver. When transmitting for a long lime at high power, the transceiver can overheat.

Turn the power off immediately if the transceiver emits smoke or Slrange odors.

Ensure that the transceiver is safe. then bring it 10 the nearest

Al inco service center. -

• Points to Note Before Trnnsruitring

Many wireless stations use frequencies adjacent to the ham bands for business purposes. Be mindful when transmitting ncar them.

Even when amateur stations obey regulations. unexpected iruerference can occur.

Pay sufficient attention during mobile operation.

& Caution The use of a transceiver in the following places mny be prohibited:

. Aboard aircraft . In airports . In shipping pons

. Within or ncar the operating area of business

wireless stations or their relay suuions.

Before using in ,lilY of the above places, obtain any necessary permission from the proper authorities, and be mindful of local laws that govern unuucm radio operation .

• Points to Note Whcn Using an External Power SUj)ply Use a 6.0V - 16.0V DC external power supply.

When connecting the power supply 10 the transceiver, use tile optional DC cable for base station operation (ECD-371_ Connect the cable 10 [he DC jack on the side or the transceiver.

When power is supplied from a cigarette socket of a car, use the cigarette lighter cable (EOC~43) or the cigurene lighter cable with filter (EDC-36). Use the cigarette lighter cable with filler (EOC-36) during mobile operauon 10 prevent noise. Be sure the car's supply voltage and polarity are correct for usc with l'ollr equipment.

Turn the transceiver s power off when connecting or disconnecting the DC cable.

Lb, Caution

The battery pack is not charged when shipped. lt must be charged before using.

lt takes up to [2 hours (maximum) to fully charge the battery pack with the EDC·92.

Charaina should be conducted within a temperature rang; of~O to 40'C. (32-104 OF)

Do not modif'y, dismantle, incinerate or immerse the battery pack in water, as these practices can be dangerous.

Nc,:er short-circuit the battery pack terminals, as this can cause damage to the equipment or lead to overheating the battery. which could cause burns. Unnecessary prolonged charging. (overcharging) can deteriorate: baucry performance.

The burtery pack should be stored in a dry place where the tempcrarure is from -20'C 10 -45 'C _ (.40 F . +113 OF)

Temperatures outside this runge can cause the battery liquid to leak. Exposure to prolonged high humidity can cause corrosion or metal components.

Typically. the battery pack can be charged up to 50n times. However. the battery pack can be considered dead if the period of usc drops signifie'"ltly despite the pack being charged tor the aforementioned charguig lime. When this happens, " new pack should be used,

In the interests of environmental protection. do 110t dispose of the used battery pack improperly. Check with your local solid waste officials for detail, on recycling option, or proper disposal in your area. The battery pack can be charged by mounting it on the DJ-)96 and cnnncctiug 13.f\VDC 10 [he DC power supply jack on the transceiver.

• Attaching and Detaching the Belt Clip Attaching

Attach the belt clip to the back of the transceiver and push it until it clicks.

Detaching

Push up the catches of the belt clip, and pull it.

• Auaching llIHI Detaching the Barterv Pack

• Mosquito Repelling Signal

An ultrasonic tone, which is disliked by some mosquitoes, is output from the speaker.

l , Select "MRS-ON" in the setting mode.

An ultrasonic lone is SCIl1 from the speaker.

The transceiver operates normally even when MRS is 011. Since the ultrasonic tOile is always present if MRS is 011, the usable time of the bauery is reduced.

To cancel the MRS setting, select "MRS-OF" in the setting mode.

Note There are thousands of kinds of mosquitoes in the world, Since some of them may 110t dislike the ultrasonic wave output from this trunxcciver, it may be ineffective against them. No warrnnty is made as to the effectiveness or this experimental feature .

8. Cloning and Packet Operation

8.1 Cloning

In using the cloning function, all of the information (including settings and memory data) of one DJ-596 (master) can be transferred and copied to another D.I-596 (slave) by connecting them with a cabtc.

.Connecting the Transceivers

Connect the external speaker jacks on burl: the master and slave transceivers with" commercially available 3.5 11 stereo mini plug cord.

Turn off the power when connecting the cable,

Turn on the power of both transceivers after making the connections.

• Tr-ansmitting Data Irom the Master Transceiver

4. If the power is turned ott, the cloning mode is cancelled.

If the data is not transrni.ted correctly, "PASS" is not displayed. Repeat the process described in steps I and 2 .

3. Turn off the power.

If the data is not tnmsmiued correctly, HpASS" is not displayed,

In this case, try 10 transmit the .nuster data again or reset the slave transceiver,

If "PASS" did not appear after cloning, incorrect operation may occur if you attempt to use the slave transceiver.

Note Use" direct connection type cable without internal resistance.

II' any key is pressed while data is being transmitted dU['ing the cloning operation, the cloning transmission stops, Press the PTT key to SoWrI !ransmitling again.

Do not disconnect the cable while cloning. If the cable is pulled out, "CQMERR" appears on the master transceiver'« display, and the duta transrniasion SlOpS, All data in the slave transceiver will be updated to tile master transceiver', data by the cloning operation. Be sure you wum to change everything before cloning,

8.2 Packet Operation

Pucker operation is one or the datu cornmunicnuon methods. which enables data transmission and reception with ,I personal computer and TNC.

Power can be supplied rro.n all intemnl 5V source through a 100 n resistor

Note . Refer to the TNC' S instruction .nunual when connecting the TNC uni! 10 other devices (perxnnal computer, ctc.). I r the trnnsceiver, TNC and connected personal computer ure lOO dose together, noise between them may cause interference,
