6) Sockets for External Speaker-Microphone

Behind the screw-fixed cover on top of the unit's right side you
can find two jack sockets for stereo plugs Ø 2,5/3,5 mm
[SPK/MIC] ( 7 ). They serve for the connection of a speaker-
microphone with PTT function or for a separate microphone or
a separate speaker. The upper socket is for the speaker and the
lower socket is for the microphone. The internal speaker and/or
the internal microphone will be switched off, if the socket for the
corresponding external accessory is in use.

7) Charging of the Accumulator

The accumulator is not charged in the factory. Therefore it must
be charged before it is used the first time.
Insert the DC connector of the power cord coming from the
adaptor into the socket on the rear of the charging mould. Then
connect the adaptor with a wall outlet ( 230 V, 50 Hz ).
Now insert the transceiver with mounted accumulator or only
the accumulator itself into the charging mould. The front panel
of the unit must show into the direction of the LED indicator of the charging
mould, or the charging contacts of the accumulator to the rear.
The LED indicator on the charging mould lights up red now, which indicates that
the charging process has started. During the charging process the red shining
of the LED turns gradually into green. A total green indication means that the
accumulator is charged. For a partially discharged accumulator the charging
takes 8 hours and for a totally discharged accumulator 12 hours. Please take
into account that the charging mould does not switch itself off when the accu-
mulator is charged. The charging process can be continued for 1 or 2 hours
after the LED has completely turned to green, to take advantage of the entire
capacity of the accumulator. But do not exceed the charging duration beyond
this time, otherwise you will cause an overcharging which will reduce the accu-
mulator capacity or shorten the accumulator life.
Never try to recharge alkaline cells or other accumulators than the supplied one
with the charging mould.
8) Accumulator Alert Indication
The unit is equipped with an accumulator level monitoring circuit which alerts you,
when the stored energy is nearly completely used up. If the accumulator voltage
drops below 5.5 V while transmitting, the control lamp ( 2 ) starts to flash red. But
the transmitter is still working. If you keep on transmitting and the accumulator vol-
tage drops below 5.3 V, you will hear a warning tone in the speaker and the trans-
mitter will switch itself off. After releasing the PTT key and pressing it once again,
the unit will transmit again but only for a short time. Now it is time to recharge the
accumulator. If the unit is in receiving mode, the accumulator voltage can drop
below 3.5 V, until the control lamp ( 2 ) starts to flash red every 5 seconds, accom-
panied by a short warning tone in the speaker. At 3.1 V the unit switches itself off.

9) Energy saving function

The unit is equipped with an energy saving function. This function is factory set
in your unit. This function works only in receive mode. It reduces the current
consumption when no signal is detected on the actual channel and the rotary
channel selector is not turned for at least 10 seconds. If you do not use the unit
for a longer period of time, you should switch it off.

Scan function of the TEAM TeCom-XP

The scan function must be installed into your transceiver by your dealer, before you
can use it. If it is not installed, there is another channel available on position [S] ( =
16 ) of the rotary channel selector. In the description below it is assumed that the
scan function is active. Ask your dealer for more details.

1) Activation of the Scan Function

When you turn the rotary channel selector on position [S] ( = 16 ) the unit runs
through all channels which your dealer has programmed into the unit. If there is
a radio operator signal on one channel which is capable to open the squelch,
the scan function will pause on that channel until it is free again. You can hear
the partner station. 5 seconds after that station has finished its message the
scan function will restart running through the channels.

2) Deactivation of the Scan Function

When you turn the rotary channel selector on a position between 1 and 15 the
scan function is not active.

3) Method of Working of the Scan Function

When the scan function has found a signal on a channel which is programmed
with the additional muting function, it will test whether the code of the signal mat-
ches to the one which is programmed on the actual channel. In case of mis-
match the scan function pauses only for a short time on that channel. But the
squelch will not turn the loudspeaker on. The green glowing of the control lamp
indicates that the unit has recognised internally the occupation of this channel.
For further information to the additional muting function see point 3 of the chap-
ter "Auxiliary functions of the TeCom-XP".
When pressing the PTT key while the scan function is stepping through the
channels the unit transmits on the transmit frequency of channel 16. When the
pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan function is resting on a channel,
the unit transmits on the transmit frequency of this channel.
Once a channel is selected for transmit mode, you can send your entire mes-
sage on this channel. After you have released the PTT key the unit will still stay
for a dwell time of 10 seconds on this channel, before the channel searching is
restarted again.
