CAUTION:
Transmitting without an antenna may damage
the transceiver.
NOTE:
To prevent interference, listen on the channel be-
fore transmitting by pushing
[MONI]
, or [

the microphone.
q
Set the operating frequency.
(pgs. 14, 15)
• Select output power if desired. See the section at next page for
details.
w
Push and hold

to return to receive.
IMPORTANT!
(for 50 W transmission)
:
The ID-E880 is equipped with protection circuits to protect
the power amplifier circuit from high temperature. When
the transceiver temperature becomes extremely high, the
transceiver reduces transmit output power to 5 W
(approx.)
automatically.
