EU Model supports 2 modes: License-Free mode and Licensed mode.
License-Free Mode
Each time the EU radio is turned on, it is automatically in License-Free mode.
When in License-Free mode, the GREEN LED flashes every 2 seconds while
the RED LED is solid on.
Licensed Mode
Here is the procedure to enter Licensed mode:
1/ Turn off all the radios in the group.
2/ Turn on any one radio. After the GREEN LED starts to flash, press and hold
the POWER button and the small AUX button together for 2 seconds. The
GREEN LED will be off.
3/ Do the same for the rest of the radios ONE BY ONE, not at the same time.
Now all the radios in the group are in Licensed Mode.

GET STARTED
1. Be ware that
the antenna cover
is pre-bent for
impact prevention
7. To adjust the sound volume, press
UP or DOWN button, repeatedly if
necessary, until desired volume is
reached. To adjust the microphone
sensitivity, while holding down AUX
button, press UP or DOWN button,
repeatedly if necessary until desired
sensitivity is reached. Now every
member in the group can talk freely and
listen at the same time.
8. To turn Yapalong unit off, hold
POWER button 2 seconds until RED
LED flashes 3 times. Then the unit
powers down.
2. The rechargeable Lithium
polymer battery is pre-installed. For
future battery replacement, make
sure the battery connector is
plugged into the socket with the
color of the cables matching the
polarity “Red Black” shown on the
case. For your safety, use only battery
provided by Yapalong.
3. Turn Yapalong unit on by holding
down POWER button for 2 seconds
until RED LED turns on.
4. If the AMBER LED blinks every 2
or 5 seconds or there is no LED light
at all, battery needs to be charged.
Plug the adaptor to the wall outlet.
Then plug the barrel connector of the
cable into the power charging jack.
Turn off the unit during battery
charging will speed up the charge
time. AMBER LED turns on during
charging and GREEN LED turns on
when battery is fully charged.
5. If RED LED remains on with high
intensity, it means it cannot detect other
group unit due to various reasons: no
group unit powered on; group unit out of
range; unit in different group (refer to
“Binding Procedure” to do grouping).
6. If RED LED remains on with normal
intensity, it means it has detected group
unit(s). Plug in the headset as show in
the figure. The unit is now ready to be
used with other powered-on group
units.
HOW TO MAXIMIZE RANGE
CLOSE BODY BLOCKING
1. placing bodies in between
antennas causes communication
signs being blocked
ANTENNA TOUCHING BODY
2. Human body is mainly water so it
absorbs RF wave. Water absorbs
RF (radio frequency) wave.

BINDING PROCEDURE
Note:
Binding needs to be done under minimum radio interference environment,
which means no cellphone, no computer, no Bluetooth, and no electrical
control panel nearby.
After binding, there is NO need to do binding again next time for
the same group, until new radio(s) being added to the group.
A. BINDING PROCEDURE FOR REGULAR UNITS
1. Power down all units with good batteries installed.
2. Power up 1st unit until RED LED is solid on. Hold down UP and DOWN
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until GREEN and AMBER LEDs begin to
flash alternatively. Release buttons for 5 or more seconds, both LEDs stop
blinking and all 3 LEDs remain solid on.
3. Power up 2nd unit until RED LED is solid on. Hold down UP and DOWN
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until GREEN and AMBER LEDs begin to
flash alternatively. Release buttons for 5 or more seconds, both LEDs stop
blinking and only RED and GREEN remain solid on. If AMBER is also on,
restart Binding from Step1.
4. Repeat Step3 for the rest units until the binding for all the units is done. If in
doubt, repeat the entire procedure.
Power off all the units to exit binding mode.
The radios in binding mode cannot communicate.
B. ORDER FOR BINDING LISTENER UNITS
LISTENER units can be added to existing Yapalong group as listen-only units.
Regardless of the previous grouping state, the entire group has to be bound
again. The binding procedure is the same as the one for REGULAR units.
In addition we need to follow the order below to bind:
1. Set 1st REGULAR into Binding mode.
2. Set 2nd REGULAR into Binding mode.
3. Set all LISTENERs into Binding mode one by one.
4. Set the rest REGULARs into Binding mode one by one.
03
When worn, always point the antenna upwards for the best range.
To obtain maximum range is to eliminate blocking obstacles at line of sight.
The range is greatly reduced when the obstacle is very close to the antenna.
We need to avoid the following scenarios:
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Hold down POWER button
approx. 2 seconds until RED
LED turns on. Then release
button.
RED LED will remain on at a
lower intensity if your unit
hears other unit(s) in the
same group; otherwise the
RED LED will be extra bright.
04
TURN ON
Hold down POWER button
approx. 2 seconds until RED
LED flashes 3 times. Then
release button.
All LEDs are off in power
down mode except battery
charging indicator.
TURN OFF
Press UP button to move up
one level at a time until
desired level.
GREEN LED flashes once
unless maximum level is reached.
There are 6 volume levels.
VOLUME

Press DOWN button to move
down one level at a time until
desired level.
GREEN LED flashes once
unless minimum level is
reached.
VOLUME
DOWN
Press AUX button until
GREEN LED flashes 3 times.
Continuous slow blinking of
RED LED indicates microphone
being muted. When microphone
is muted, other Yapalong units
cannot hear you but you can
hear the others.
MIC MUTE
Press AUX button until
GREEN LED flashes 3 times.
RED LED slow blinking stops.
Back to normal operation.
MIC
REACTIVATE
Hold down AUX button then
press UP button to move up
one level at a time until

unless maximum level is
reached. Increase microphone
sensitivity if you want to speak
softly in a quiet environment.
There are 5 sensitivity levels.
INCREASE
MIC
SENSITIVITY
Hold down AUX button then
press DOWN button to move
down one level at a time until
desired level.
GREEN LED flashes twice
unless minimum level is
reached. Decrease
microphone sensitivity when
background noise is loud.
Speak closer to the
microphone to compensate.
DECREASE
MIC

Out of range indicator. Your unit cannot receive
RF signal from any unit in the group. Power on
other units, or move closer to each other.
After the radio is taken out of range and brought back into range, its
communication to the group will resume automatically. If the communication is
not resumed immediately, as indicated by extra bright red LED light, you may
press POWER button 1-3 seconds on this radio to force the sync. Restart the
radio is also a good way to resume the communication.
MIC sensitivity sets the minimum
level of sound loudness that the
microphone can pick up. The higher
MIC sensitivity is, the slighter sound
is picked up by the microphone. It is
good practice to lower MIC sensitivity
in a noisy environment so that other
users will not hear so much
background noise.
Yapalong4000 MIC sensitivity is divided into 5 levels. The default level is 4.
Press Up/Down and AUX buttons simultaneously to adjust MIC sensitivity. Be
sure not to press AUX button alone, which will mute the radio.

POWER UP A GROUP
Power on one of the radios at the location where the radios to be used. Wait
until the red light of the radio becomes solid, then power on the rest radios.
Power on all the radios at the place where they will be used. It is not
recommended to power on all the radios at one location (e.g., locker
room), then use them at another (e.g., football field). This is needed because
the radios auto scan the surroundings for the cleanest channel upon being
powered on.
