INSTALLATION
CAUTION
When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do
not damage any wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the
mounting position.
If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest for optimum
performance you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or
Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or
air conditioners. Do not press the PTT or CALL button before installing the
antenna.
Screw the mounting bracket and the remote head bracket to firm surfaces.
To install the Radio;
1. Fix the radio bracket in a suitable location.
2. Then fix the radio in the bracket using the thumb screws.
Note
The radio contains a built-in loud speaker, The radio can be installed ‘out of the
way’ and an external speaker can be used as an alternative (not supplied).
To mount the Remote Head (UHF100)
The remote head is supplied with a slim mounting bracket and thumb screws.
Its small size and light weight design allows it to be mounted in almost any
convenient position accessible to the driver.
10
Installation
1. Fix the mounting bracket in place by screwing through the slots in the
bracket.
2. Fix the remote head unit to the mounting bracket with the thumb screws
provided.
3. Connect the standard microphone to the remote head socket, and tighten up
the thumb screw.
Fitting the Controller Microphone Speaker (UHF200)
The Remote Head uses an 8 pin telephone style plug and socket:
1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic flap faces downwards, and press
the plug into the socket until it ‘clicks’.
2. Gently press the rubber boot into the hole surrounding the socket so that the
slot around the boot fits neatly inside the rim of the entry hole.
3. If required use the external cable (supplied) to allow the radio to be installed
further from the Controller Speaker Microphone.
11
Installation
Disconnecting the Remote Head/Speaker Controller Microphone
It is recommended that the remote head be left permanently connected to the
radio, but if it must be disconnected, proceed as follows:
1. Lift the rubber boot and the lip of the raised area on the front panel.
2. Ease the rubber boot out of the cable entry hole and slide it along the cable
away from the front panel.
3. Identify the plug locking lever, move the lever towards the plug body. At the
same time gently pull the plug from the socket (see previous page).
Controller Speaker Microphone; part number, CSPKMIC
Standard Microphone; part number, MIC050
These can be purchased from the dealer you purchased the radio from or
directly from Oricom.
DC Power Connection
The Radio is designed for 13.8 Volt DC, negative earth installations only (i.e.
where the negative battery terminal connects to the chassis of the vehicle).
For installation on 24 volt systems an inverter (not supplied) will need to be
used.
There are two possible methods of installation.
Over voltage protection
The radio has a high voltage input detection system, to warn you if an
overvoltage situation occurs.
Eg.: If the power supply voltage exceeds 17volts DC, the channel display (LCD
backlight) will flash in 3 different colors when the unit is turned on.
In additon, when transmitting, the TX indicator will automatically select a low
power output.
If the overvoltage warning appears, you must switch your radio off and
disconnect it from the power source, before locating the cause of the trouble.
The power source must not exceed 30volts.
12
Installation
Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF
Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly to the
batteries negative terminal.
Connect the radio's positive (red) lead via the 2 Amp fuse to the battery's
positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the fuse
box at a point that has +13.8 Volts continuously available (preferably the battery
side of the ignition switch) via the 2 Amp fuse.
Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch
Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle's chassis, or directly to
the batteries negative terminal.
The radio's positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory point in the
vehicle's fuse box via the 2 Amp fuse.
Antenna information
The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance, to maximize your output
power and receiver senstivity.
A poor quality antenna or one not designed for the specific frequency band
you are using will give poor performance. You should purchase an antenna
designed for the 477MHz frequency band.
Antenna installation
1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a PL259 coaxial connector.
2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna
and mount it in a good location. Do not press the PTT or CALL button
before installing the antenna.
Optional accessories
If required you may install an external (8 ohm, max 5w power) speaker fitted
with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).
There is a jack located on the rear of the radio and on the UHF100 there is an
additional jack on the side of the remote head unit.

Duplex Operation
General
Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local Repeater stations (if
available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio system installed by interested
parties (clubs, local business etc.) that pick transmissions on specific channels
and re-transmit (or repeat) the received signal to another channel.
Repeater Station
The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8) used by local
repeater stations. When activated, your radio will receive the Repeater on its
specific channel (all repeater outputs are on channel 1 to 8) but transmits to the
repeater channel 31 through 38.
e.g.
CH01 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH31
CH02 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH32.
