Power / Volume control : 

Turn clockwise to switch on power, and adjust control for suitable volume level. 
 

Mute Control : 

Turn anti-clockwise to un-mute & clockwise to mute receiver. 
 

LED indicator :

 

When unit is muted the LED is not lit, when receiving a signal the LED will be green and 
in transmit mode will indicate red. 
 

Setting Frequency Step size :  (DF mode)

 

This function sets the size of the frequency step when using the up / down keys under the 
LCD display. Before the step size can be set the unit needs to be in the ‘direct frequency’ 
mode (

DF

) by pressing [SET] [1] (this should be the default). 

To change the step size press [SET] [4] . Continue to press [4] and you will see the step 
size changing in the following rolling sequence :-

Select the step size you require – the default 25 Khz will be adequate for setting most 
repeater channels. When you have selected the required step size push [EXIT] button.
