Important information  
Please read before installing or operating  
your Oricom Radio  
The operation of this radio in Australia and New Zealand is subject  
to conditions in the following licenses. In Australia the ACMA Radio  
communications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) and in New Zealand by MED  
General User Radio License for Citizen Band Radio and operation is subject  
to conditions contained in those licences.  
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.  
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.  
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice  
communications are not allowed on these channels by law.  
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:  
Note:  
Refer to the “Channel Table” section of this Owner’s Manual for detailed  
frequency listing.

Important information  
Safety Warning  
NOTE:  
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.  
WARNING  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an  
explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.  
Blasting Caps and Areas  
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.  
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility  
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic  
interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic  
interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio  
in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such  
as health care facilities.

When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during  
installation you do not damage any wiring or vehicle components  
that may be hidden around the mounting position.

the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners.  
Do not press the PTT or CALL button before installing the  
antenna.  
Antenna Installation  
To obtain the best performance from your UHF050 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.

Installation of your Oricom UHF050  
DC Power  
The UHF050 is designed for 13.8V DC negative earth installations only.  
1. Connect the negative (Black) DC power lead to the vehicle chassis or  
directly to the vehicle battery negative terminal if preferred.  
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 UHF 050 to be operational when the car ignition is off.  
DIN Kit  
The UHF050 can be installed using a optional DIN Kit - Part number; DIN050  
for mounting in a vehicle dash board.  
Optional External Speaker  
Depending on the installation it may be necessary to use an external  
speaker (not supplied) to give improved volume and clarity. This can be  
plugged into the EXT –SPK socket on the rear of the unit.

Duplex Operation  
General  
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.  
Repeater Station  
13  
 
Operation  
The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8) used by local  
repeater stations. 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.  
e.g.  
CH01 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH31  
CH02 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH32.
