Operating Instructions

UHF395

80 Channel UHF Citizen Band Radio

This unit complies with all relevant Australian

and New Zealand approval requirements

AS/NZS 4365:2011

Why has the ACMA increased the number of available UHF CB channels?

To provide additional channel capacity within the UHF CB Band, the ACMA will over the next 5 years change the

majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband 80 channel use.

During this time wideband channel use will be gradually phased out as users upgrade their existing radio’s.

This means that the new Oricom narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older wideband

radios. Some of these channels are locked and cannot be used, (see the attached channel chart for more information).

When will this take place?

Early in 2011 new AS/NZS Standards came into effect allowing operators to use additional narrowband channels

and also use narrowband transmissions on some current wideband channels. This increased the number of

channels up to 80, 75 of which are useable voice channels.

What issues may users experience during the transition phase?

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 the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio

receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for

best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from

wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.

The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and

narrowband radios.

It is expected that as older wideband radios are removed from service that this issue will be resolved. Most radios in

use will be narrowband eliminating this issue.

Important information

Please read before installing or operating your

Oricom radio

The operation of your UHF radio in Australia and New Zealand

is subject to conditions in the following licenses:

In Australia, the ACMA Radio communications (Citizen Band

Radio Stations) and in New Zealand by MED the General User

Radio License for Citizen Band Radio.

Safety Information and Warnings

WARNING

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re

resulting in injury or even death.

NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but

not always clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below

deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas

where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,

or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio

OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas

posted: “Turn off two way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic

interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic

interference and/or compatibility conicts, turn off your radio in any

location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health

care facilities.

Fitting the Controller Speaker Microphone

The controller speaker microphone uses a 6-pin telephone style

plug and socket:

1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic ap faces

downwards, and insert 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 ts neatly inside the

rim of the entry hole.

Disconnecting the Controller Speaker Microphone

It is recommended that the Controller Speaker Microphone

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, and move the lever towards

the plug body. At the same time gently pull the plug from the

socket.

Installation of your Oricom Radio

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.

Ensure the installation does not interfere with the

operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory and

safety retirements for accessories tted to your vehicle.

For optimum performance, your radio needs to be

installed correctly. If you are unsure about how to

install your radio, we suggest 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. Never press the

PTT button before connecting the antenna to the radio.

Wiring Methods

There are two possible wiring congurations for connecting to

the vehicles power supply.

A. Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF

Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis,

or directly to the battery’s negative terminal.

Connect the radio’s positive (red) lead via the 3 Amp fuse to

the battery’s positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead

could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has DC Power

continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition

switch) via the 3 Amp fuse.

B. Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch

Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle’s

chassis, or directly to the battery’s negative terminal.

The radios positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory

point in the vehicle’s fuse box via the 3 Amp fuse.

Installation of your Oricom Radio

Antenna information

The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance to maximise

your output power and receiver sensitivity.

A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna, or one not designed

for the correct frequency band, will give poor performance. You

should only 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 (not supplied).

2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high

quality antenna and mount it in a good location.

Never press the PTT before connecting the antenna to the

radio.

Optional accessories

If required, you may install an external (8 ohm, Minimum 5W

power) speaker tted with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).

Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to use an

external speaker (not supplied) to give improved volume and

clarity. This can be plugged into the external speaker (SP)

socket on the rear of the unit.
