the pack before using the DJ-X2000 for the first time.
2. Approximately 1 hour is required to fully charge the battery pack with the
charger.
3. Charge batteries only in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F~104°F).
4. DANGER! Do not disassemble, tamper with, heat or wet the battery pack.
5. Do not short-circuit battery pack terminals. This can generate heat inside the
pack resulting in burns and/or damage to the pack.
6. Do not overcharge the battery pack. Overcharging can lead to battery
performance loss.
7. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place where temperature is between
-20°C and 45°C(-4°F~113°F). Environments outside this range can cause
battery acid to leak and metal parts to rust.
8. The battery pack can be fully recharged approximately 300 times. When a
fully charged battery pack lasts considerably less than expected, it is time to
replace it with a fresh pack.
9. Do not throw away dead Ni-Cd battery packs. They can be recycled. Give
them to stores which accept old batteries.
10. Do not charge an unexhausted battery pack repeatedly. It may shorten the
operating time of a battery pack.
· To prevent battery pack short-circuiting
When carrying the battery pack, be extremely careful not to short-circuit the
terminals. If short-circuited, the high surge in current could heat up the pack,
resulting in burns or fire.
1. Keep the battery pack away from metal objects such as necklaces, etc.
2. Do not keep the battery pack inside bags with metal-plated linings or wrap it in
handkerchiefs with metallic thread or print.
3. Do not leave the battery pack in proximity of electro-conductive materials or
metal objects such as nails or chains.
4. Place the battery pack in an electrically-insulated bag or wrap it in a
handkerchief before putting it in your handbag, etc.
5. Place the battery pack on an electrically-insulated mat when setting it on a flat
surface.

of the transceiver during the recharging can cause the transceiver to
malfunction.
2. The battery charger is designed to be used at an ambient temperature
between 10°C and 40°C. Avoid recharging the battery pack at any
temperature outside this range.
3. Do not repeatedly recharge the fully recharged battery pack. This can cause
the performance of the battery pack to deteriorate. The battery pack can be
recharged 500 times when it is used normally. If the life of the completely
recharged battery pack becomes markedly shorter, the battery pack is
considered to have been exhausted. Please purchase a new battery pack.
4. Do not insert the battery pack in a reverse direction.
5. When the battery pack has been recharged completely with the lamp blinking
in green, remove the battery pack from the battery charger.
6. If the battery charger is not used for a long period of time, disconnect the AC
power cord from the wall socket, and remove the battery pack from the battery
charger.
7. If you recharge the battery pack of which voltage has abnormally dropped
due to discharge, the lamp starts blinking in red and the preliminary recharge
initiates immediately after you have started recharging the battery pack.
Subsequently, the lamp will be illuminated in red, indicating that the quick
recharge has started.
8. If any irregular battery pack is set in place, the lamp will blink alternately in red
and green.

2.3 Squelch control
Squelch is used to mute the speaker noise when no signal is being received.
Squelch level can be selected between SQ0 and SQ9. Setting is made as
follows.
A squelch level can be selected from the range between S00 and S32.
To select a squelch level, press the
SQL key located on the left side of the S 5
body, and then press the UP/DOWN A 145 . 34
key or turn the dial. The squelch level b 8 .
will be shown on the display in
accordance with the setting.
Note: · Higher squelch levels require higher signal levels to release the muting.
Set the squelch to a level at which the noise just disappears.
· The level at which to release the muting varies depending on the received
frequency even if the electric field strength remains the same. Adjust the
squelch at the most suitable level for the frequency to be received.
· If the squelch level is too high, weak incoming signals may not be heard
from the speaker.
2.4 Setting frequency
Frequency can be set in any of four ways: By using the numeric keys, the
UP/DOWN key, the dial, or the combination of the F key and the dial.

· It may be difficult to read a value from the S meter during scanning in the
Channel Scope mode, because the speed is fast.
· The graph displayed in the Channel Scope mode is only in the range of the
currently received radio type. For example, if search is performed around
76.5 MHz of WFM, no channel for less than 76.0 MHz, which is of NFM, is
not displayed.
· If the Channel Scope mode is selected, the battery saving function is
disabled.
· If the search function is turned ON in the MR mode, it may take some time
for the full display of search.
· If scanning is started with the search function turned ON, it may take some
time to start scanning.
