 Please use the standard battery pack and charger in order not to destroy the radio.
  Please use the standard antenna, in order not to shorten the communication distance.

 Do not expose the radio to sunlight for a long period of time, nor put it near the heat.

 Do not put it in extreme dust or wet environment.

 Do not clean the radio with fierce chemical products, cleaning agents or strong washing agents.

 Do not transmit when the antenna is not installed.

 If you find bad smell or smog, please turn off the radio immediately. And take the battery off the
radio, then contact with the agent.
Charging Notes:

 Battery packs are not charged when they are shipped. Charging them before use.

 Initially charging the battery pack after purchase or extended storage (longer than 2 months) will
not bring the battery pack to its greatest capacity or its normal charge, which can be done only
after repeated charging and discharging two or three times.

 Do not use the radio during charging. This will affect the normal charging of the battery pack,
causing damage to the radio and accidents.

 After the battery pack is fully charged, please take it out of the charger base. Do not charge it
again before the battery is completely running out. Or it will destroy the memory effect of the
battery.

 Although using the right charging ways, the battery does not gain capacity or use time, it means
the battery life is near the end, please change a new battery pack.

 Please adopt the original factory battery pack and charger. They are available with your local
agent.

 If you have questions about non-original factory battery packs and accessories, please do not use
them. Or it will cause dangerous accidents.

Charging-base instructions:

 Plug the lithium battery or radio equipped with the lithium battery into the charger base, and
ensure that the battery is in normal contact with the charging base.

 The green light is steady on when the charging base is empty; When the red light is on, charging
begins; When full, the green light is steady on.

 After the lithium battery pack is fully charged, take it out of the charger.
Type-C charging instructions:

 Type-C charging is only used for emergency charging. Use charging base for normal charging.`

 Type-C Charging head logo in the upper right corner of the screen shows during startup and
charging

 The shutdown does not affect the charging of Type-C.

  When charging, the blue light will be on for a long time, and the blue light will blink to indicate
that the charging is about to be completed.

 After Type-C is charged, the blue light will be turned off.

 Do not remove the battery when charging through Type-C.

There are two versions of this series:

A body with Type-C charging; B body does not have Type-C charging The configuration of the product is
as what your real purchase.

Note:

1. When the radio is charging (charger /Type-C charging), it is forbidden to transmit so as to avoid
damage to the radio and accidental danger.

2. When the radio is charged (charger /Type-C charging), the receiving effect will be affected.

3. Do not short circuit the battery terminal or discard the battery in the fire.

4. Do not remove the battery pack cover without permission.

Firmware Update Egzumer V0.22
Menu operation in Egzumer Mod V0.22

The menu can be accessed with the M button as normal (short press).

Once in the main menu, the menu items will be displayed on the left-hand side of the screen. The
currently selected menu item will be highlighted and the current value for that menu item will be shown
on the right. Also, at the bottom left side, a number of the menu item will be shown, ranging from 01 to
the highest number.

To find the menu item to access the UP/DOWN arrow keys may be used, or the menu item number (see
lists below) may be entered on the numeric keypad. For instance, to access the VOX settings a number
57 can be entered on the keypad.

Once the desired menu item is highlighted, pressing the Menu key will enter that menu item.

Once the menu item is selected, pressing the up and down arrow keys will adjust the setting for that
menu item. To confirm the selection, press the Menu key. To cancel the selection, press the EXIT key.

BROADCAST FM

The radio is capable of receiving broadcast FM from 76 to 108 MHz. For this, it uses a separate chip
(BK1080). RDS is not supported.

During broadcast reception the active VFO still has priority. This means that any reception on the active
VFO will temporarily disable broadcast reception and the radio switches to VFO reception. At the end of
VFO reception, the radio switches back to broadcast.

BASIC OPERATION

 F + 0 FM or long press 0 FM or custom button function starts broadcast reception

 Exit or use the above start command, when the radio is in FM radio mode, ends broadcast
reception

 F + VFO/MR or long-press VFO/MR changes between VFO or memory channels (VFO-/MR-mode)

Set a frequency in FM-VFO mode

Simply typing a frequency sets it to receive. Resolution is 100 kHz so entering 929 would tune to 92.9
MHz. Use arrow keys to change in 100 kHz steps.

Store in memory from FM-VFO mode

Pressing M in VFO mode allows storage of the current frequency in a memory channel. Use arrow keys to
select memory, and confirm with M. There are 20 memories available.

Select a memory

In MR-mode entering 01.. 200 selects a memory channel. Use UP/DOWN to step a memory channel up
or down.
Delete a stored memory

In MR mode pressing M allows deletion of that memory channel.

SCANNING FOR STATIONS FROM FM-VFO

Auto scan

Start with F + * Scan or long-press * Scan The radio scans for stations and stores the first 20 stations in
memory. Scanning starts at the low side of the band. Initiating auto-scan will delete previously stored
channels. Exit ends auto-scan.

Manual scan

Short press * Scan starts the manual scan. The radio scans from the current frequency up until a station
is received. You can continue scanning in any direction using arrow keys. Exit stops scan mode.

Button functions

 1 BAND - switch bands (frequency ranges)

 3 VFO/MR - switch frequency/memory mode

 * SCAN

o short press - start single scan

o long press - start auto scan (all memory channels will be deleted and replaced with scan
result)
