Operation
Time-out timer
The time-out timer feature helps extend battery life by preventing
accidental transmission.
The radio will emit a continuous warning tone if the button
is pressed for more than 60 continuous seconds and will stop
transmitting.
The battery level meter
The battery level meter located in the display indicates how much
battery power you have remaining to protect the rechargeable
battery. When the battery meter has one segment left, the radio will
chirp after releasing or every 10 minutes.
Duplex mode
Repeater stations can re-transmit your signal over a wider area
giving you extended range depending on the location, height and
availability of the local repeater station. For information on the
locations of repeater sites in Australia and New Zealand visit our
website.
Your radio supports duplex mode on channels 1 - 8. If the repeater
channel in your area is channel 1, when you are in duplex mode
the transmit channel will be channel 31.
1. Select the repeater channel in your area (channel 1 to channel
8).
2. Press the button to enter duplex mode, press
or

For example, Select channel 1, duplex mode will display ‘ ’.
Simplex mode will display 1.
Dual channel scan
In stand-by, the PMR is set on one set channel with CTCSS code.
The PMR will only receive signals transmitted on that channel and
CTCSS code. Dual Channel Monitor allows you to monitor a second
channel with CTCSS code.
