Basic Operations
CALL mode
This is a memory mode that allows the transceiver to quickly recall the assigned memory channel
by simply pressing the CALL key, regardless of the current status of the unit.
The default setting is 145.00MHz/433.00MHz, and available 1ch each on VHF and UHF band.
To recall a CALL channel
Select the desired VHF or UHF band by pressing BAND key.
1.
Press CALL key. The C icon appears on the
display and the transceiver enters the CALL
mode. In this mode, the main dial or the UP/
DOWN keys cannot change the frequency or
memory channels.
2.
Press CALL key again or press V/M key to exit
CALL mode.
3.
No scan functions are available in CALL mode.
To store a desired setting in the CALL channel, follow the memory mode programming instruc-
tions and assign your selected settings to memory channel C. The call channel can be modified but
cannot be eliminated or hidden.
To receive signals
1.
Be sure to have the unit connected to the ap-
propriate antenna, powered on, set the audio
volume and squelch level properly on both
MAIN and SUB bands.
2.
Select the desired band by pressing BAND key
and browse frequencies or select desired fre-
quency to listen to ongoing communications.
The S-meter shows relative signal strength
when the transceiver detects an incoming sig-
nal, and RX display lamp (green) turns on.
3.
If the S-meter indicates an incoming signal but
nothing is heard from a speaker, check audio
level, squelch level, and CTCSS/DCS decod-
ing status, which are explained elsewhere in this
manual.
