1.4 Starting operation
The power switch is combined with the Volume Control. Turn the Volume Control clockwise until
you hear a click. Further clockwise rotation of the control raises the loudspeaker volume. To turn off
the power, turn the control fully counterclockwise until you hear the click.
Adjusting the backlighting:
The dimmer [9] key adjusts the backlighting for the operation display and the keyboard. Each time
the key is pressed, the backlighting changes in the sequence of high, medium, low and off.
Turning the loudspeaker on or off:
When you are using a handset and therefore do not require the internal or external loudspeaker, you
can turn it off by pressing the loudspeaker [4] key. The “loudspeaker off mark” appears .
Turning the squelch on or off:
The squelch mutes the audio output in the absence of an incoming signal. Each time the [5] key is
pressed, the squelch is turned on or off. When radio noise is too jarring during stand-by condition, it
may be muted by activating the squelch. “SQ” appears when the squelch function is active.
NOTE: The squelch is disabled on the class of emission TLX or FAX; “SQ” blinks.
Selecting class of emission/turning AGC on or off:
The MODE [1] key selects the class of emission and turns the AGC on or off. Each time the key is
pressed, the class of emission changes and AGC is turned on or off in the following sequence. “AGC”
appears on the display when AGC is active (ON).

1.5 Selecting Frequency
Frequency can be selected by;
- Direct key entry (Free selection within marine bands for Netherlands or for ship stations where
a qualified Radio Operator is available)
- Channel number entry
- FREQ/CH selector
A receiving frequency can be selected by one of the above methods, but there is a restriction in
selecting a transmitting frequency. This depends on how the equipment is programmed according
to the national radio regulation.
