first displaying the chosen pass channel then keying in a
frequency followed by [ENT], the pass list will increment to
the next channel.Press [CLR] to escape from the list.
The key sequence [2ndF] [PASS] toggles On and Off the
keypad beep tones.
[PRIO] [PRIO/SET] Priority key
The key is used to select the priority frequency, select
sampling duration and toggle the priority function On and
Off. The priority frequency is selected in manual mode
using the key sequence [2ndF][PRIO], this is refereed to
as PRIORITY SET. The priority channel sampling duration
is programmed with the key sequence ~2~dF~[~~I~] with
the [PRIO] key held for more than 1.5 seconds. The range
is 01 to 19 seconds and 05 second is default value. The
value can be changed from UP/DOWN key, the DIAL or by
keying in a two digit number from keypads. Press
[LENT]to accept new value.
[CLR] Clear entry key
This key will have wrong data entry to be cance led. The
[CLR] key is also used to escape from the frequency pass
menu. A full microprocessor reset can be done by holding
both the [CLR] and [ENT] keys while turning On the unit
using the [PWR] key. The entire of B110RB will be lost. As
a result the search and scan facilities will not operate until
new data has been programmed. NOTE: It is quite normal
for the set to take about 30 seconds to recover from a full
reset as all data is being deleted.
[ENT] Enter key
The enter key is used to finalise the entry of frequency and
other data inputs.While in manual mode, press and hold
the [ENT] key for more than 1.5 seconds to add the
currently displayed frequency into memory. While in
SEARCH and stopped on a active channel, press the
[ENT] key to write the displayed frequency into memory.
The key is also used during a full microprocessor reset.
Left hand side keys
[2ndF] function key
The second function key is used to access the second key
functions as listed underneath the keypad keys.
[MON] monitor key
This is used to open the squelch to monitor very weak
signals,
[KLCCK] key lock key
This 2 position slide key is to prevent accidental operation
of the keypad. At down position, the keylock is OFF. When
the switch is slide upward, the keylock is On and key
graphical legend is displayed on LCD and all the keypads
and dial is disabled (except for the 0NI] key).
RESET switch
You may soft reset the microprocessor of B110RB by
momentarily pressing this reset key on the left hand
housing of B110RB using a pin, small screwdriver or sharp
pencil.Your memory bank and search bank data will remain
but any linked bank setting will be lost. This has the same
effect as turning the receiver On by the [PWR] key while
holding the [CLR] key.
Right Hand side of housing
DC I2V charging/external power connection.This is 1.3mm
DC socket with centre positive. The socket is used to
charge the internal Ni-Cad. batteries. B110RB may also be
connected to an external 12V DC supply such as DC 12V
cigarette lighter plug of vehicle by using DC leads.The
B110RB may also be connected to separate regulated DC
power supply of 12V to 13.8V DC with 300mA or higher
supply current.
REAR CABINET
Battery compartment
The compartment is for AA size battery x 4pcs. Carefully
note the polarity (direction of positive side and negative
side of batteries). Rechargeable Ni-Cad. batteries or high
quality dry cell batteries may be used.
CAUTION: Never attempt to charge the receiver or
connect to an external power source when dry cell
batteries are fitted in the compartment. Always remove
dry cell batteries when they are running down.
Basic Manual Operation of the receiver
Entering a frequency through the keypad - VFO (MANUAL)
MODE
To place B110RB into manual mode, press [MANU] key.
The B110RB enters manual mode ready for input of a
frequency or other data. The receiver can also be tuned by
[DIAL].
Example of frequency entry 144.600MHz.
Press [1][4][4][.][6][0][0][ENT]
Example of round number such as 118.000MHz
Press [1] [1] [8] [ENT]
If you want cancel entered number(before pressing [ENT]
key), press [CLR] before completing the input with [ENT].
Example of frequency enter 945kHz (0945MHz).
Press [0] [MHz] [9] [4] [5] [ENT] MHz input.
Press [9] [4] [5] [KHz] [ENT] kHz input .945KHz is equal
to 0.945MHz and data may be entered in either method.
Example of frequency enter 1215KHz (1215MHz)
Press [1] [2] [1] [5] [KHz] [ENT]
1215KHz is equal to 1.215MHz.
CAUTION: If the frequency display changes when the
[ENT] key is pressed, then an inappropriate step has
been selected. The displayed frequency must he
exactly divisible by the step size.
The speed at which the receiver increments up or down
depends on the step size which is default to PRIG
(automatically set from the lookup table). It is possible to
override the program default using the [STEP] key.
Following step size are available.
NFM/AM/LSB/USB mode: 10Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 500Hz,
1KHz, 5KHz, 6.25kHz, 9kHz, 10kHz
12.5kHz, 20kHz, 25kHz,
30kHz, 50kHz, 100kHz
WFM: XHz, 6.25kHz, 9kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 20kHz, 25kHz
30kHz, 50kHz, 100kHz
B110RB has been factory pre-programmed with all the
bandplan data so that the radio is able to automatically
select the appropriate step size and mode for the
frequency selected.
