Operation and Installation Manual

1-6 How the Microphone and 701 Optional Handset Work Together

Consult the 721/701 Quick Start Guide for additional operational instructions.
If you have the optional 701 handset installed on your VHF721:

• neither item will transmit while both are ON hook, but you can hear the audio from the handset

speaker and adjust the handset volume.

•    to use one item when it’s OFF hook, the other item must be ON hook.
•    if both items are OFF hook, only the microphone works.
•    in Intercom mode ONLY, both items work OFF hook.

1-7 Basic Operation and Key Functions

All possible keys on the base unit, the microphone, and the optional handset are listed and their functions
are explained.

NOTE:

Some keys or functions may not be available on your particular model of base

unit, microphone, or optional handset. This example shows the 721US base unit.
