Basic Use
Power and Volume
Before the power is turned on, ensure that the battery and antenna are both attached, as described in the
Initial Setup
section.
Turning the Unit On
To turn the unit on, rotate the volume/power knob clockwise until
a “click” sound is heard.
If the radio powers on correctly,
there should be an audible double beep, and the display and backlight should turn on, looking something like picture below:
Turning the Unit Off
Turn the volume/power knob counter-clock wise all the way until
a “click” sound is heard
. The unit is now off.
Adjusting the Volume
To turn up the volume, turn the volume/power knob clock-wise.
To turn the volume down, turn the volume/power knob counter-clock-wise. Be careful not to turn the knob too far, as you may
accidentally turn the radio off.
A good way to adjust volume is by using the monitor function, enabled from the [MONI] button below the [PTT] button, to more
accurately and easily adjust the volume by adjusting it to the un-squelched static sound.
