Safety Warning  
For Vehicles with an Air Bag  
Do not place your radio in the area over an air bag or in the  
air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force.  
If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the  
air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force  
and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.  
The operation of this radio in Australia and New Zealand is subject to  
conditions in the following licenses,  
WARNING  
In Australia the ACMA Radio communications  
(Citizen Band Radio Stations).  
In New Zealand the General User Radio License for  
Citizen Band Radio.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially  
qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual  
Approved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion  
or fire resulting in injury or even death.  
Channels 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as  
emergency channels and should be used only in an emergency. CTCSS  
and DCS will not operate on these channels.  
Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to call others and  
channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.  
Blasting Caps and Areas  
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations  
should move to another unused “SIMPLEX” channel to allow others to  
use the calling channel.  
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 the two way  
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.  
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice  
communications are not allowed on these channels by law.  
NOTE:  
Channels marked Duplex are reserved for repeater use in some areas.  
These are paired with higher channels as output/input (1/31, 2/32, etc.)  
Check for local repeater activity before using these channels in Simplex  
mode to avoid interference. Channels 9 and above are the best choices  
for general use in Simplex mode. You can find more information about  
channels and frequencies by visiting the Web site:  
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,  
but not always clearly marked. They include fueling 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.  
:pc=PC_1265#Repeaters  
Use While Driving  
Check the laws regarding the use of radios while driving,  
and always obey them.  
Note:  
Refer to the “Channel Table” section of this Owner’s Manual for  
detailed frequency listing.

DC Power  
1 X UHF080 CB Radio  
The UHF080 is designed for 13.8V DC negative earth installations only.  
1 X Microphone  
1. Connect the negative (Black) DC power lead to the vehicle chassis or  
directly to the vehicle battery negative terminal if preferred.  
1 X DC Power cord with inline fuse  
1 X Mounting bracket with mounting screws  
1 X Microphone hanger  
1 X DIN mounting kit  
2. Connect the positive (Red) DC power lead via the in line fuse to  
a suitable point in the vehicle fuse box or directly to the positive  
battery terminal. When selecting a suitable point take into  
consideration if you want your UHF080 to be operational when the  
car ignition is off.  
1 X User Guide  
When installing your Oricom UHF080 in your vehicle check  
that during installation you do not damage any wiring or  
vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting  
position. If you are unsure about how to install your UHF080  
consult a qualified installer or your vehicle manufacturer.  
Using the DIN Kit  
The UHF080 comes complete with a DIN kit for mounting in a vehicle  
dash board.  
Antenna Installation  
To obtain the best performance from your UHF080 it is important  
to obtain a good quality antenna. You should purchase an antenna  
designed for the 477MHz frequency band.  
1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a PL259  
coaxial connector.

Dual Function buttons  
The dual function button (buttons 7 to 13) have two functions.  
To use the primary function (printed on the button) just press the  
button. To use the secondary function (printed above the button)  
press and hold the button for 2 seconds.  
To Transmit  
1. Select the channel you wish to use, please refer the Channel  
Reference at the end of this user guide for a list of available  
channels and their use.  
2. Press the PTT switch on the Mic  
Power ON / OFF  
Rotate the power switch in a clockwise direction to turn the unit ON,  
adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Rotate the Power Switch  
counter clockwise until it click to turn off the power.  
TIP: To ensure your voice is transmitted with the best clarity hold the  
microphone 5 to 7 cm from your mouth, talk at a normal level, do not  
shout.  
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)  
Squelch  
Your UHF080 has 38 CTCSS codes to minimise interference from other  
users. You will only hear transmissions from users using the same  
code.  
To adjust the level of squelch use the rotary SQL control. Turning the  
control clockwise reduces the amount of squelch, turning counter  
clockwise increase the amount of squelch. To reduce the signals that  
you can hear, increase the squelch, to hear more signals which may  
include weak signals decrease the squelch.  
To select a CTCSS code  
1. Press the CTCSS / DCS button, TSQ oF will blink on the

DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)  
Using the Duplex (DPX) feature  
Your UHF080 provides for 104 DCS codes. These are digitally coded  
squelch codes which provide additional privacy.  
Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local  
Repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio  
system installed by interested parties (clubs, local business etc.) that  
pick transmissions on specific channels and re-transmit (or repeat) the  
received signal to another channel.  
To select a DCS code  
1. Press the CTCSS / DCS button twice, DCS oF appears on the  
LCD display.  
The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8) used  
by local repeater stations. For example, if there are 3 repeater stations  
in your area (say, channel 1, 3 and 5) you only need to set the repeater  
access for these specific access. When activated, your radio will  
receive the Repeater on its specific channel (all repeater outputs are  
on channel 1 to 8) but transmits to the repeater channel 31 through  
38. So, if you are in the range of a local repeater which transmits on  
channel 2, after setting your radio to allow access of the repeater on  
that channel, you will select channel 2 as normal, but during transmit  
operation your radio will automatically transmit to the repeater on  
channel 32.  
2. Rotate the Channel button or press Up / Down. Select on the Mic to  
select the desired DCS channel code.  
3. Press the CTCSS / DCS button once to return to standby.  
Receive & Transmit Indicator  
The LED indictor will illuminate green when the unit is receiving a  
signal, when transmitting it will illuminate red. When in standby the  
LED is out.  
Time Out Timer (ToT)  
To Turn Duplex (DPX) ON  
1. Press and hold the DPX button for 2 seconds, DPX will appear on  
Australian and New Zealand standards require that if the PTT is  
pressed for more than 3 minutes the unit must stop transmitting. The  
UHF080 is set to stop transmitting after 2 minutes and 30 seconds of  
continous transmitting. After that time the unit will stop transmitting  
and TOT will appear in the display to indicate that the ToT has  
activated.
