Protalker PT-1078

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Protalker PT-1078. It’s a long range, low powered radio communication device with a range of maximum

10 Km. It has no running costs other than the minimal cost of re-charging the batteries.The Protalker PT-1078 operates on 8 channels.

The radio is built according the IPX7 standard. This implies that it is submersible: it will float in water and it can be held 1 meter below

the water surface during 30 minutes without being damaged.

2 Intended purpose

It can be used for recreational purposes. For example: to keep in contact during travelling with 2 or more cars, biking, skiing. It can be

used to keep in contact with your children when they are playing outside, etc...

3 CE Mark

The CE symbol on the unit, user guide and giftbox indicates that the unit complies with the essential requirements of the R&TTE

directive 1995/5/EC.

4 Safety instructions

4.1 General

Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. Make yourself familiar with all functions of

the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for future use.

4.2 Burning injuries

• If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor

burn may result when transmitting.

• Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains

touches exposed terminals.The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise

care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal

objects.

4.3 Injuries

• Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If

a PMR is placed in the bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force

and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

• Keep the PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.

• Turn your PMR OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.

4.4 Danger of explosion

• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing

batteries and cause an explosion.

• Turn your PMR off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.

4.5 Poisoning danger

• Keep batteries away from small children.

4.6 Legal

• In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case leave the road before using the

device.

• Turn your PMR OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the PMR must be in accordance with

airline regulations or crew instructions.

• Turn your PMR OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be

using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

• Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate the CE regulations.

Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.

4.7 Notes

• Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.

• Remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a long period.

5 Cleaning and maintenance

• To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don’t use a cleaner or solvents on the unit; they can

damage the case and leak inside, causing permanent damage.

• Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.

6 Disposal of the device (environment)

At the end of the product lifecycle, you should not throw this product into the normal household garbage but bring the

product to a collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipments. The symbol on the product, user

guide and/or box indicate this.

Some of the product materials can be re-used if you bring them to a recycling point. By re-using some parts or raw

materials from used products you make an important contribution to the protection of the environment. Please

contact your local authorities in case you need more information on the collection points in your area.

7 Using a PMR device

To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and sub-channel (CTCSS/DCS) and within

receiving range (up to max.10 km in open field). Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices in operation

share these channels(total 8 channels - Annex A). Therefore, privacy is not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can

overhear the conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the PTT-key .

Once this key pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the microphone. All other PMR devices in range

, on the same channel and in standby mode (not transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until the other party stops

transmitting before you can reply to the message. At the end of each transmission the unit will send a beep if the Roger Beep is enable

(See chapter “13.12 Roger Beep On/Off”). To reply, just press the PTT-key and speak into the microphone.

8 Included in the package

• 2 x Protalker PT-1078

• 1 x Duo charger

• 1 x Power adapter

• 2 x NiMH battery pack

• 2 x Belt clip

• User guide

• Card with service address and Hotlinenumbers

9 Getting started

9.1 Installing / Removing the belt clip

1. To remove the belt clip from the unit, push the belt clip (B) towards the

antenna, while pulling the clip tab (A).

2. When re-installing the belt clip, a click indicates that the belt clip is locked into

position.

9.2 Installing the batteries

1. Open the battery compartment. Use a screwdriver or a coin to turn the screw

counter clockwise.

2. Put in the battery. The battery pack label will indicate the correct position of the

battery.

3. Before closing the battery door, check the rubber seal around the battery

compartment. Make sure that the seal is in good condition and that there is no

foreign matter under the seal.

4. Close the battery compartment door and tighten the screw again (clockwise).

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.

After your radio is submerged in water, you might notice that the sound is distorted. This is because there is

still water remaining in and around the speaker and microphone. Just shake the radio to clear excess water,

and the sound should return to normal.If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean your radio thoroughly with

fresh water, and dry it before turning it on.

If 2 or more users press the PTT- key at the same time the receiver will receive only the stongest

signal and the other signal(s) will be supressed. Therefore you should only transmit a signal (press PTT-

key ) when the channel is free.

The range of radio waves is strongly affected by obstacles such as buildings, concrete/metal structures,

the unevenness of the landscape, woodland, plants, … This implies that the range between two or more

PMR's may in some extreme cases be restricted to a maximum of a few tens of meters. You will soon

notice that PMR works best when there is a minimum of obstacles between users.
