q Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
(pgs. 11, 12)
w Push [LOW•DUP] for 1 sec. one or two times, to select
minus duplex or plus duplex.
• “DUP–” or “DUP” appears to indicate the transmit frequency for
minus shift or plus shift, respectively.
• When the auto repeater function is turned ON (available for the
USA version only), steps w and e are not necessary. (p. 25)
e Push [TONE•T-SCAN] several times to turn ON the sub-
audible tone encoder, according to repeater requirements.

• 88.5 Hz is set as the default; refer to p. 22 for tone frequency
settings.
• When the repeater requires a different tone system, see p. 23.
r Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.
• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).
• If “OFF” appears, confirm that the offset frequency (p. 24) is set
correctly.
t Release [PTT] to receive.
y Push [MONI•DTMF] to check whether the other station’s
transmit signal can be received directly.
u To return to simplex operation, push [LOW•DUP] once or
twice, to clear the “DUP–” or “DUP” indicator.
i To turn OFF the subaudible tone encoder, push [TONE•T-
SCAN] several times until no tone indicators appear.
