SELECTING A CHANNEL
Your radio offers different number of
conventional channels depending on the model
number. To select a channel, press the toggle
/
buttons until you reach the desired
channel.
Program each channel separately. Each
channel has its own Frequency, Interference
Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor traffic before
transmitting to ensure that you do not ‘talk over’
someone who is already transmitting
For monitoring press and hold the SB1(*)
button to access channel traffic. If no activity is
present, you will hear ‘static’. Press again SB1
to release.
Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with
your call by pressing the PTT button.
When transmitting, the radio LED blinks red.
Note:
To listen to all activity on a current channel,
short press the SB1 to set the CTCSS/DPL

DPL Defeat’ (Squelch set to SILENT).
(*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed
for a different mode.
