GETTING STARTED
For the following explanations, refer to “Parts
Of The Radio” on page 7.
TURNING RADIO ON/OFF
To turn ON the radio, rotate the On/Off/Volume
Knob clockwise. The radio plays one of the
following:
•
Power up tone and channel number
announcement, or
•
Battery level and channel number
announcements, or
•
Silent (Audible tones disabled)
The LED blinks red briefly.
To turn the radio OFF, rotate the On/Off/Volume
Knob counterclockwise until you hear a ‘click’
and the radio LED Indicator turns OFF.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
Turn the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise to
increase the volume, or counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.
Note:
Do not hold the radio too close to the ear
when the volume is high or when adjusting
the volume
SELECTING A CHANNEL
To select a channel, turn the Channel Selector
Knob until you reach the desired channel. An
audible voice indicates the selected channel.
Each channel has its own Frequency,
Interference Eliminator Code and Scan
Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before
transmitting to avoid ‘talking over’ someone
who is already transmitting
To monitor, long press and hold the SB1(*)
button to access channel traffic. If no activity is
present, you will hear ‘static’. To release, press
SB1 again. Once channel traffic has cleared,
proceed with your call by pressing the
PTT
button. When transmitting, the LED Indicator
stays solid red.
