Operating Instructions
UHF390
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

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 conicts, 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

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 congurations 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.
