SELECTING A CHANNEL
Your radio offers different number of
conventional channels. To select a channel,
press the
/ 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 for traffic before
transmitting to ensure that you do not "talk
over" someone who is already transmitting
To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button to
access channel traffic. If no activity is present,
you will hear "static". Press the SB1 button
again to release.
Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with
your call by pressing the PTT button.
When transmitting, the radio LED will be solid
red.
Note: In order to listen to all activity on a current
channel, short press the SB1 in order to set
the CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is
called "CTCSS/DPL Defeat (Squelch set to
SILENT)".
(*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed for
a different mode.
RECEIVING A CALL
1. Select a channel by rotating the ON/OFF/
Volume Knob and press the / buttons
until you reach the desired channel.
2. Make sure the PTT button is released and
listen for voice activity.
3. The LED indicator blinks RED while your radio
is receiving.
4. To respond, hold the radio vertically 1 to 2
inches (2.5 to 5cm) from your mouth. Press the
PTT button to talk; release it to listen.
Note: Please notice that when the radio is receiving
or transmitting, the LED is always red.
