When receiving a call, the green LED is on.
NOTE: To ensure the best reception volume, keep the distance between the microphone and the mouth at the
time of transmission from 2.5 cm to 5 cm.
5.4 Channel selection
There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode.
For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode.
However, Frequency (VFO) mode is very handy for experimentation out in the field. Frequency (VFO) mode is also
used for programming channels into memory.
In Channel (MR) mode you can navigate up and down the channel by using the
▲
and
▼
keys.
Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
5.5 Frequency (VFO) mode
In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the
▲
and
▼
keys. Each press will
increment or decrement your frequency according to the frequency step you've set your transceiver to.
You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy.
The following example assumes the use of a 12.5 kHz frequency step.
Example. Entering the frequency 462.5875 MHz on display

a.
Use the
[VFO/MR]

on the numeric keypad.
WARNING!
Just because you can program in a channel does not mean you're automatically authorized to use that frequency.
Transmitting on frequencies you're not authorized to operate on is illegal, and in most jurisdictions a serious
offence. If you get caught transmitting without a license you can and will get fined, and in worst case sent to jail.
However, it is legal in most jurisdictions to listen. Contact your local regulatory body for further information on
what laws, rules and regulations apply to your area.
5.6 Channel (MR) mode
The use of Channel (MR) mode is dependent on actually having programmed in some channels to use.
Once you have channels programmed and ready, you can use the
▲
and
▼
keys to navigate between channels.
6. ADVANCED FEATURES
