Basic functions
To turn radio on/off
Rotate the OFF/VOLUME [1] knob clockwise to turn the unit on. The radio beeps with different
tones (may be inhibited). The LCD [3] displays a self-test message for 1 second, it will then indi-
cate channel 1.
Volume adjustment
To adjust the volume level, hold MON [10] button down while rotating the OFF/VOLUME [1] knob
until you reach a comfortable listening level. Rotate it clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to
decrease the vo-lume. Release the MON [10] button. Now your Alan 443 is ready to receive and
transmit.
Transmission
For maximum speech clarity, hold the radio 4 to 10 cm away from your mouth, keep the PTT but-
ton [11] pressed and speak into the unit [5]. During transmission the display shows .
When the PTT [11] is released, the radio beeps to confirm to other users that your transmission
has finished (see paragraph "Roger Beep").
Reception
Simply release the PTT [11] button . When you receive a signal, is displayed.
Background noise reduction (Squelch).
In your ALAN 443 the background noise reduction device (squelch) is activated by default. Hold
MON [10] button down to deactivate it. In this way, even low level signals can be received.
Automatic power save
ALAN 443 is supplied with an automatic current economy circuit. If the transceiver receives no
signal for 7 seconds or longer the "power save function" automatically activates. ("power saver")
blinks on the display. The battery life may increase by up to 50 %.
When the batteries are in need of charging, icon will be displayed [3]: it is necessary to
replace the alkaline batteries or recharge the Ni-Cd/NiMH ones.
Jack MIC/CHG [13]
External charger jack. We recommend use of the appropriate charger only.
Attention: alkaline batteries cannot be recharged.
2. CTCSS-sub-tone setting
ALAN 443 can receive in two modalities:
open traffic:
in this case you will hear any communication transmitted on the selected channel.
group mode CTCSS:
CTCSS tones are access keys that allows you to receive only messages coming from parties
using the same channel and code. Speaker will remain muted until the correct CTCSS tone is
received.
To activate 38 different CTCSS tones in RX and TX follow these steps:
1. Turn on the radio.
2. Select with the / [6] buttons one of the 8 channels.
3. Press twice the "F" button until the Display [3] shows the selected channel with the flashing
CTCSS code segment.
4. Select with the / [6] buttons the desired CTCSS-Code.
5. Press [7] to confirm the setting.
Now the radio transmits and receives using the programmed CTCSS tone. If you don't want
CTCSS tones, select "00".
3. To activate Dual Watch (DW)
This feature allows you to scan 2 channels of your choice. It is useful when you want to keep
track of two other people.
To enable it:
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Select by / [6] keys the first channel you want to monitor.
3. Press repeatedly F [8] button until "Dw" blinks on the display.
4. Select the second channel to be scanned by / [6] buttons.
Now the radio begins scanning between these 2 channels until activity is heard on either chan-
nel. The scanning restarts when the carrier disappears.
To stop Dual Watch, press PTT [11], or [7] or CALL [9] keys.

3. Push [7] to store the setting; "Beep" disappears.
6. Out-of-range control
The ALAN 443 contents an "out of range" control function. By setting this mode a pair of ALAN
443 is transmitting every 30 seconds a data control code. As soon as the contact between both
units is getting lost and one station doesn't receive this data control code twice consecutively,
in the display icon starts flashing and you will hear a beep tone.
To enable/disable Out-range-control
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Select by using the / [6] buttons a channel.
3. Press the "F" [8] button six times until the display shows:

example b1). The Display shows Vox and indicates that the function has been activat-
ed. The PMR switches into transmission mode as soon as a signal/voice is heard from
the baby [4].
3) Set up control station
Select with the / [6] buttons the fitting pre-programmed channel (in that case E1).
The VOX function is automatically disabled.
CALL-BUTTON
1. Sending audio signal
By pressing the CALL [9] button your ALAN 443 is sending an audio signal to other users
on the same frequency.
2. VOX sensitivity setting
To get the most use from the VOX feature you must first determine what sensitivity (noise
level) is needed to activate the VOX circuit.
1) Turn the transceiver off.
2) Hold the CALL [9] button down while turning the radio on.
2
L
The display [3] shows:
3) Select the desired VOX level (L1, L2 , L3) by means of the / [6] buttons. The VOX
sensitivity is now adjusted.
VOX can be adjusted in 3 positions:
› L1: high sensitivity (normal voice with no background noise)
› L2: medium sensitivity (for slightly noisier areas)
› L3: low sensitivity (useful in very noisy areas or if you talk loudly)
4) Press [7] to confirm.
3. VOX delay time setting
This function keeps the radio in transmit mode after you stop talking. This delay can be
adjusted (if it is set too short it may cause transmission to stop between some words)
and allows you to speak at a steady rate with no loss of transmission.
7. To enable/disable "Alarm transmission"-Mode
1) To fix the optional alarm sensor, follow the instruction described in its user manual
(alarm sensor model AS443).
2) Connect the alarm sensor to the MIC CHG [13] jack of your radio.
3) Select by pressing the / [6] buttons a channel with high CTCSS-Sub-Tone (for
example channel 5, CTCSS-Sub-Tone 32).
4) Select the desired VOX sensitivity level (factory setting is at level 2).
5) Press the "F" button six times until "OFF" with
the flashing icon appears on the display.
6) Press / [6] buttons to select "ON" or "OFF".
7) Press [7] button to confirm your selection.
One minute after the alarm transmission has been set, the alarm transmission will be acti-
vated. As soon as the alarm sensor notes a high noise, caused by damaging the window
or other vibrations, it sends an alarm signal to the control station. If alarm signal is send,
the unit initiate after a few seconds an continuous acoustic alarm tone. After receiving the
alarm signal the control station (second device) starts alarm and the display shows
icon.
Notice: For this function you need first of all two PMRs; the most important fact hereby is
that both devices are indicated with the same channel- and CTCSS- setting. Only one
unit can be connected to alarm sensor and set with alarm transmission mode.
8. Reset
In case your ALAN 443 does not work properly or you want to cancel all the user set-
tings, it is necessary to hold F [8] button down for 2 seconds while switching the unit on.
With this procedure all the settings made by the constructor are restored.
