Coverage/Range
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an
open space.
The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as
blockage caused by trees,buildings, or other obstructions. Inside a car or a metallic
constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally the coverage in the city, with
buildings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space but with obstruc-
tions like trees, leaves or houses the maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In
open space, without obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the
coverage can be more than 12 Km.

Operations
Power on/o and volume adjustment
Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio on.
Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to adjust the volume level as you
prefer.
Rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a mechanical “click”, to turn the
radio o.
Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
Briefly press the Function key 1 to enable the Monitor feature in order to make sure
that the frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.
Release the PTT key to receive.
Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is important
not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and use the transmission mode
sparingly to allow other users to use the feature.
Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and should therefore be used
sparingly to prolong the battery life.
If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving, the station
may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.
Monitor
The Monitor feature is for temporarily excluding (opening) the Squelch, in order to
listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently opened.
Briefly press the Function key 1 to enable such function.
Scan
Keep pressed the Function key 2 for about 4 sec. to enable the SCAN function:
the radio will scan all channels from the channel in use.
Whenever any signal is detected, the radio will suspend the Scan; to resume scan-
ning, press again the PTT button.

Vox
G11V enables hands free conversations through the VOX function: just speak in the
direction of the microphone and the communication will be automatically activated.
The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 10 dierent levels (0,1,2,3…9) trough the
programming software:
0 means that the VOX is turned o, 1 is the lowest VOX sensitivity level and 9 is
the highest one.
By default, the VOX sensitivity of G11V is set on level 5.
To activate the VOX feature, keep pressed for about 4 sec. the Function key1.
Squelch
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to receive even
weak signals.
G11V has 10 dierent Squelch levels settable by programming software: 0 means
that the Squelch is turned o; from level 1 to level 9 you will have dierent levels of
noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch.
By default, the Squelch level of G11V is set on level 5.
Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this case you may
not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an excessively low Squelch value
could enable the Squelch even when no signals are present.
Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present.
The Time Out timer is settable from 30 sec to 270 sec. only through the program-
ming software.
This feature is disabled by default.
Roger Beep (end of transmission tone)
When the PTT button is released, the radio will beep to confirm to other users that
you’ve finished your transmission and that they can begin to speak.
Beep Tone
This function permit you to produce a beep tone every time you press a button.

Battery recharge
G11V is equipped for using a 7,4V Li-ion rechargeable battery pack which can be
recharged connecting the socket of the AC/DC wall adaptor to a mains power so-
cket and inserting the jack of the wall adaptor into the desktop charger plug.
It takes 4-5 hours to fully recharge the radio.
For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the
G11V is o and the battery pack is fully discharged.
! Using a dierent battery charger other than the one specified can cause damage to
your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.
The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption of up to 50%.
If it has been set, it comes on automatically when the transceiver does not receive
any signal for more than 7 seconds in order to save the battery life. Power saving can
be set only through Programming software.
Maintenance
Your G11V was designed to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product
for many years.
As for all the electronically devices, we recommend you to follow this few sugge-
stions:
› Do not attempt to open the unit. Non-expert handling of the unit may damage
it and/or annul the warranty.
› When using regulated power supply, take notice of power voltage, that must be
between 6V and 8V to avoid damages.
› High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt
certain plastics. Do not store the radio in dusty or dirty areas.
› Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.
› If it appears that the Radio diuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut o its
power immediately and take o the charger or battery from the Radio.
