Channel
Turn the channel selector knob to select the desired channel. The built in voice prompt if
enabled will tell you what channel you are on. If you are on the correct channel and that
channel is set to receive CTCSS or DCS code and there is a radio transmitting on that
channel and that transmitting radio has the proper CTCSS or DCS code, then you will
hear sounds from the speaker. If the channel you selected is not programmed, then there
will be a continuous tone from that channel.
Transmitting
To transmit, press the PTT switch on the side of the radio and speak into the microphone
in a normal voice. Your mouth should be about one to two inches from the microphone.
To stop transmitting release the PTT switch.
Receiving
If you are not pressing the PTT switch then the radio is in the receive mode. If the
channel the radio is set to is set for some CTCSS or DCS code, then you can only hear a
call from another radio with the same CTCSS or DCS code.
