Store button

Pushbutton

Briefly pressing the STORE
button causes the display
frequency to be stored in one of
the four memory locations,
provided that the channel
selector switch is not in position
A, but set to one of the four
memory positions (1 - 4). In
models with serial no. of 4000 or
above the STORE button must
be held depressed for approx. 2
seconds in order for the
displayed channel frequency to
be written into the selected
memory location.

Operating instructions for serial no. 0 to serial no. 3999

NOTE

Switch off transceiver when engines are started or stopped.

1. Switch on VHF transceiver with ON/OFF switch. For a few seconds the LC display reads 188.88

(display test). The transceiver then automatically switches to 121.500 MHz (emergency frequency)

when  the  channel  selector  is  in  position  A.  When  it  is  positioned  to  one  of  the  stored  channel

frequencies  (switch  position  1-4)  the  display  reads  the  stored  channel  frequency.  To  select  a

channel frequency other than the stored channel frequencies, position channel selector to A and

then set the desired frequency by means of the MHz and kHz frequency selector switches.

2. Set to frequency of local ground station and position VOL control to center position.

3. Operate  PTT  key  and  call  ground  station.  For  optimum  intelligibility  keep  microphone  almost

touching lips.

4. On response from the ground station adjust for desired volume using VOL control.

5. Position ON/OFF switch to SQL to suppress weak input signals and input noise.

6. The sidetone volume can be adapted to the noise level of the aircraft by means of the sidetone

volume control.

Operating instructions serial no. 4000 upwards

NOTE

Switch off transceiver when engines are started or stopped.

1. Use the ON/OFF switch to turn on the VHF transceiver. For a few seconds, the digits 188.88 will

appear in the LCD (display test), as well as an arrow to indicate transmission mode. Afterwards

the  VHF  transmitter  automatically  switches  to  the  most  recently  set  frequency,  if  the  channel
