Before Operating the Transceiver © Accessories Open the box and check that the following items are present. @ Antenna ... Hand strap . Instruction manual © Quick reference .. @ Ni-Cd battery pack © Belt clip (two screws) © Tricle battery charger Connecting the Antenna Hold the antenna by its base, and align the grooves in the connector at the base of the antenna with the protruding guides on the transceiver's antenna con- nector. Slide the antenna down and turn it clockwise to lock it into place. | Turn the antenna counter-clockwise to release it. Attaching the Belt Clip Attach the belt clip to the back of the transceiver using the two screws provided as shown in the diagram on the left. Attaching the Hand Strap Attach the hand strap between the belt clip and the groove on the back of the transceiver.Installing and Removing the Ni-Cd Battery Pack © Installing the battery pack Align the Ni-Cd battery pack with the grooves on the transceiver, and slide it in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place, © Removing the battery pack Slide and hold the battery pack release button to the right to release the catches, and gently pull the bat- tery pack free of the transceiver. © Recharging the battery pack When the remaining battery power is low, the icon shown on BATT the left will appear on the display. Recharge the battery pack when this happens. © Use the Battery Save (page 47), Auto Power Off (page 46), and Low-power Transmis- sion (page 18) functions to extend battery lite.© Glossary of Terms © L Band and R Band The DY-GSTIE display shows, two bands, L Bandon the left, and R Band on the right. i LBand | 1588 S098] RBand Main Band and Sub Band Where fi is displayed, the transmis- sion is made on this Main Band, and key operations relate to the Main Band. Where fis not displayed, the band is called sub-band. It is possible to receive on both main and sub bands at the same time. Main Band | 589 500] Sub Band I Sub Band | #50 44530] Main Band VHF Band In this manual, it refers to a fre- quency range of 108.000 MHz to 173.995 MHz for the DJ-GST, and a frequency range of 144.000 MHz to 145.995 MHz for the DJ-G5E.. © UHF Band In this manual it refers to a fre- quency range of 420.000 MHz to 479.995 MHz for the DJ-G5T, and a frequency range of 430,000 MHz to 439.995 MHz for the DJ-G5E. Twin Band and Mono Band Twin band operation refers to opera- tion of both the L Band and R Band together. Mono Band refers to opera- ton 3 when only one of the bands is used. © VFO-A and VFO-B VFO mode on the DJ-G5T/E has two \VFO’s each for VHF and UHF bands of the L Band and the R Band (for a total of eight VFO). The two VFO's are called VFO-A and VFO-B. Memory Programming Mode and Memory Operation Mode There are two memory modes; Memory Programming Mode, which displays all memory channels, and allows memory channels to be pro- rammed, and Memory Operation lode, which allows only programm- ed memory channels to be called up. Scanning Scanning refers to the process of periodically varying the receive fre- quency to search for channels on which signals are being transmitted. Channel Scope This originally Alinco feature moni- tors the displayed frequency, and fre- quencies around it, and presents a summary of the information on the display. © Sweep Scan The sweep function scans a frequen- cy range, and displays the status of the frequencies around the currently scanned frequency. @ Squelch The squelch function removes audi- ble noise when a signal is not being received. When the squelch is un- muted the received signal audio is output. @The display and frequency examples used in this manual are for the DJ-GST. However, operation for the DJ-G5T and DJ-GSE are the same.@ Specifications General supply voltage) Rx ‘supply voltage) Modulation Max. deviation TxLo: 4.8VDC (NiCd) eiches (twin band) _ Pe 13. 8VC (external) “ower output VDC (Ni-Cd) Power oul ‘3.6V0C (N-Ca) 7.2VDC (NCA) Lband Receiver oy-est range (MH2) Reband DU-G5E rn Transmitter | DY-GST - range (MHz) | D-GSE 7 Modulation i!
