6) Sockets for External Speaker-Microphone
Behind the screw-fixed cover on top of the unit's right side you can find two jack
sockets for stereo plugs Ø 2,5/3,5 mm [SPK/MIC] ( 7 ). They serve for the connec-
tion of a speaker-microphone with PTT function or for a separate microphone or a
separate speaker. As already indicated on the cover, the upper socket is for the spea-
ker and the lower socket is for the microphone. The internal speaker and/or the inter-
nal microphone will be switched off, if the socket for the corresponding external
accessory is in use.
7) Charging of the Accumulator
The accumulator is not charged in the factory. Therefore it must be charged before
it is used the first time.
Insert the DC connector of the power cord coming from the adapter into the socket
on the rear of the charging mould. Then connect the adapter with a wall outlet
( 230 V, 50 Hz ).
Now insert the transceiver with mounted accumulator or only the accumulator it-
self into the charging mould. The front panel must show into the direction of the
push button, or the charging contacts to the rear.
The red LED ( CHARGING ) on the charging mould lights up now, which indicates
that the charging process has started. After approximately six hours the red LED turns off and
the green LED ( COMPLETION ) lights up. That means that now the accumulator is charged and
the charging current is reduced. The charging process can be continued for 1 or 2 hours after
the green LED has turned on, to take advantage of the entire capacity of the accumulator. But
do not exceed the charging duration beyond this time, otherwise you will cause an overcharging
which will reduce the accumulator capacity or shorten the accumulator life. A too frequent recharging
of a partially discharged accumulator will also result in a reduction of its capacity. For this end
the charging mould is equipped with a discharge function. To activate a previous discharging of
a partially discharged accumulator insert the transceiver with mounted accumulator or only the
accumulator itself into the charging mould. After the red LED has begun to light up, depress brief-
ly the button on the charging mould. This will cause the red LED to turn off and the yellow LED
( DISCHARGING ) to turn on. That means that the accumulator is discharged now. At the end of
the discharge process the yellow LED turns off automatically and the red LED
( CHARGING ) lights up again. This indicated that the charging process has started automati-
cally. At the end of the charge process the red LED turns off and the green LED lights up again,
which indicates that the accumulator is charged now.
Never try to recharge alkaline cells or other accumulators than the supplied one with the charg-
ing mould.
8) Accumulator Alert Indication
The unit is equipped with a accumulator level monitoring circuit which alerts you, when the stor-
ed energy is nearly completely used up. If the accumulator voltage drops below a certain value
in receiving mode, you will hear a warning tone in the speaker. If the accumulator voltage drops
below this value while transmitting, the control lamp ( 2 ) starts to flash red. After releasing the
PTT key and pressing it once again now, the unit will not transmit any more. Now it is time to
recharge the accumulator.
Scan function of the TEAM PT-3208S
The scan function must be installed into your transceiver by your dealer, before you can use it.
If it is not installed, there is another channel available on position [S] ( = 16 ) of the rotary chan-
nel selector. In the description below it is assumed that the scan function is active. Ask your dea-
ler for more details.

1) Start of the scan function
When you turn the rotary channel selector on position [S] ( = 16 ) the unit runs through all chan-
nels which your dealer has selected for the scan function ( scanning list ). If there is a radio
operator signal on one channel which is strong enough to open the squelch, the scan function
will pause on that channel. You can hear the partner station but the scan remains active.
2) End of the scan function
When you turn the rotary channel selector on a position between 1 and 15 the scan function is
not active.
3) Restart of the scan function
Your dealer can select between two conditions under which the scan function restarts stepping
through the scanning list when it has previously stopped on an occupied channel:
a) Time control: The scan function restarts working after a dealer-set dwell time between 0.5 and
5 s, beginning from the moment of stopping on that channel. The dwell time does not depend on
whether the channel is free or still occupied.
b) Carrier wave control: The scan function restarts working 3 s after the radio operator signal has
dropped below the squelch threshold.
4) Transmission during activated scan function
Your dealer can select one of 4 different criteria to determine the transmit frequency while the
scan function is active:
a) First channel: When pressing the PTT key while the scan function is active the unit transmits
basically on the first channel on the scanning list, i.e. the channel with the lowest channel num-
ber.
b) First channel or actual channel: When the pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan fun-
ction is stepping through the scanning list, the unit transmits on the first channel on the scanning
list. When the pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan function is resting on a channel, the
unit transmits on this channel.
c) Prior channel: When pressing the PTT key while the scan function is active the unit transmits
basically on the prior channel, i.e. any channel of the scanning list which your dealer can select.
d) Prior channel or actual channel: When the pressing of the PTT key occurs while the scan func-
tion is stepping through the scanning list, the unit transmits on the prior channel. When the pres-
sing of the PTT key occurs while the scan function is resting on a channel, the unit transmits on
this channel.
Note: Once a channel is selected for transmit mode, you can send your entire message on this
channel. After you have released the PTT key the unit will still stay for a dealer-set dwell time
between 0.5 and 5 s on this channel, before the channel scanning is restarted again.
Auxiliary functions of the TEAM PT-3208S
These functions must be installed into your transceiver by your dealer, before you can use them.
In the description below it is assumed that the functions are active. Ask your dealer for more
details.
1) Transmit time limiter
The transmit time limiter ( = time-out-timer ) has the effect of limiting the maximum time for con-
tinuous transmitting on a channel. This transmit duration limit can be adjusted in steps between
0.5 and 10 minutes by your dealer. If the transmit time exceeds the actual transmit duration limit
during your message, the transmitter will shut off automatically, and you will hear a warning tone
in the speaker. To stop the warning tone and to reactivate the transmitter you have to release
briefly the PTT key.
