Making a Call
Press and hold the [PTT] button on the left side of the radio body to transmit. Hold the device’s microphone approximately 3-5
cm from your mouth while transmitting. When the PTT button is released, the device will go back to receive mode.
Channel Selection
There are two modes of operation on this radio: Frequency Mode (VFO) and Channel/Memory Mode (MR). Both modes are
detailed below.
Frequency Mode (VFO)
While in Frequency Mode (VFO), navigating up and down the frequency band is done by using the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons.
Each press of the button will increment or decrement the frequency according to the frequency step that has been set on the
transceiver. Frequency step can be set in the menu. See the Menu Function & Description chart or the Menu Definitions section
for more details.
Frequencies can be input directly using the numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy, however, the radio will round up to the
nearest frequency that corresponds to the frequency step setting. For example, when a frequency is input with greater than
1kHz resolution (such as 145.6875 as shown in the example below), always round your input upwards.
