SAFETY INFORMATION
The TX677 is a radio transmitting device.
• When transmitting, keep the antenna more than 25 mm from any part
of the head or body.
• Do not transmit near electrical blasting equipment or in explosive
atmospheres.
• Do not allow children to operate a radio transmitter unsupervised.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA
Radio communications (Citizens Band radio Stations) Class Licence and in New
Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED). A General
User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is subject to conditions
contained in those licences. The class licence for users and equipment operating
in the CB/PRS 477 MHz band has been amended. This radio meets the new 80
channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available; however, radio
transceivers can now operate in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less
spectrum. These radios are generally referred to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios.
By using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40 channels originally
allocated can now be expanded to 80 channels thereby doubling the channel
capacity and relieving congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
TX677 Instruction Manual 3
Original 40 channel wideband radios will continue to operate on the original 40
channels, however they will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41 –
80. The newer narrowband radios will be able to converse with all older 40 channel
wideband radios on all channels 1 – 40 as well as the newer channels allocated
from 41 – 80. The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the same
spectrum can cause some possible operating issues of interference and varying
levels of received volume.
Possible Issues
When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband
radio the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume
for best performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new
narrowband radio, the speech may sound quiet – simply adjust your radio volume
for best performance.
Depending on how close your receiving radio is to another transmitting radio,
there can be interference from the transmitting radio if it is using a channel
adjacent to the channel you are listening to. Simply try going up or down a few
channels from the currently selected channel.
The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of operating
wideband and narrowband radios in the same bandwidth. This possible
interference will decrease over time as the population of wideband radios ages
and decreases.

Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at www.acma.gov.au and the

EMERGENCY CHANNELS
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use only. Channel 5 is the
primary Simplex Emergency Channel. Where a channel 5 repeater is available, you
should select Duplex on channel 5.
Note: Channel 35 is the input channel for the channel 5 repeater. Therefore
channel 35 should also not be used for anything other than emergency
transmissions.
TELEMETRY CHANNELS
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23 for telemetry-only
applications and have prohibited the transmission of speech on these channels.
Consequently the radio has a transmit-inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23.
In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by
the ACMA, these channels shall be added to those currently listed where voice
transmission is inhibited. Currently, transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are
also inhibited and these channels are reserved for future allocation.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
• Read all instructions carefully and completely before operating your
radio and retain this manual for future reference.
• Never connect the radio to a power source other than the supplied
battery. This may damage your radio.
• Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle airbag.
• Do not use your radio with a damaged antenna.
• Do not attempt to modify your radio in any way.
• Always charge your radio at normal room temperature.
• Always switch o your radio where notices restrict the use of two-way
radio or mobile telephones.
• Use only GME approved rechargeable battery packs with the supplied charger.
• Avoid storing or charging your radio in direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing or using your radio where temperatures are below -20°C
or above +60°C.
