Talking on Your Radio
To talk to others using the radio:
1) Press and hold the
[PTT]
button and speak in a clear, normal voice about 2-3 inches away from the microphone. While you
are transmitting, the
TX
icon appears on the display. To avoid cutting off the first part of your transmission, pause
slightly after pressing the
[PTT]
button before you start talking.
2) When you have finished speaking, release the
[PTT]
button. You can now receive incoming calls. While receiving,
RX
displays.
Monitor Mode Feature
Your radio allows you to listen for weak signals on the current channel at the press of a key. To turn ON Monitor mode: Press
and hold
[
/MONI]
for 2 seconds until two beeps sound. The receiver circuit stays open, and both noise and weak signals
can be heard. The
RX
icon blinks. To turn OFF Monitor mode: Press and hold
[
/MONI]
for 2 seconds to return to
"Normal" mode; two beeps sound and the
RX
icon stops blinking and disappears.
Channel Scanning
MP25/ T25 can automatically search for signals throughout the FRS bands by scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid
sequence. When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that channel and you can transmit by pushing
[PTT]
. If you
press
[PTT]
during scanning you can transmit on the channel from which the scanning started. The scroll buttons [
] or [
]
allow you to change the direction of scanning (from lower channels to higher ones or vice versa) and therefore to skip
communications which are of no interest.
Press briefly the button
[
/SCAN]
to start scanning.
If you want to stop it, press again
[
/SCAN]
. Your transceiver will go back to the channel from which the scanning originally
started.
Scanning Sub-Codes
Press and hold [
/SCAN]
button to enter the Sub-Codes scanning.
