RADIO ON/OFF, POWER UP
1. Turn the radio on by rotating the on/off control 1/2
turn clockwise after "4000" appears in the display and
the power up alert tone is generated, the display will
change to indicate the #1 priority channel. If no priority
channel is programmed, the display will change to chan-
nel 1.
2. Turn the radio off by rotating the on/off control fully
counterclockwise.
RECEIVING A CALL
1. Turn the radio on and select the desired channel. With
the Monitor Button/LED 2 ("2") lit, adjust the volume
control to a comfortable listening level.
2. Rotate the squelch control clockwise (to the right) un-
til the squelch noise (the rushing sound) is no longer
heard.
3. Depress the "2" to extinguish the GREEN backlight.
NOTE: If your radio is equipped with coded squelch op-
tions, depress the "2" to enable the option, the CALL
LED will no longer be illuminated.
TRANSMITTING
1. Turn the radio on and select the desired channel.
2. Pick up the microphone and listen briefly to make
sure that no one else is using the channel. Or, with the
microphone on-hook, depress the "2" to monitor the
channel for activity; the "2" light should be illuminated
and the BUSY LED should be off.
3. Press the PTT on the microphone and from a distance
of 1/2 to 2 inches speak directly into the microphone in
a normal tone of voice.
4. The TX LED will light RED while pressing the PTT.
5. Release the PTT as soon as you have completed the
transmission.
NOTE: FCC Rules and Regulations require that you
monitor a frequency for activity before transmitting.
CHANNEL SCAN OPERATION
Non-Priority Scan
1. With microphone on-hook, press the S button ("S"), it
will light and your radio will start to scan the valid chan-
nels in the scan list.
2. If the "2" is illuminated, scan will be faster because
the transceiver is only looking for carrier, no coded
squelch, activity.
3. The scanner will stop on the first scan channel with
activity. When that activity falls off, the dealer pro-
grammed scan wait time will go into effect. At the end
of the scan wait time, scan resumes, beginning with the
next channel in the list.
4. Going off-hook (picking up the microphone) while
locked onto an active channel will stop scan, and cause
the radio to remain locked on that channel for duration
of activity plus the scan wait time.
5. Going off-hook, while not locked onto any particular
channel, scan will stop as above; however, the trans-
ceiver will revert to the #1 Priority channel, even in non-
priority scan.
6. Going back on-hook (returning the microphone to
holder) will cause the scan sequence to resume after the
preprogrammed scan wait time.
