Warnings
Don’t try to
recharge
alkaline batteries.
Dispose of used batteries safely
— never try to burn them or put them
anywhere they could get burnt or punctured.
When you’re not going to use your TW30X for a few weeks,
take the
batteries out
so they don’t leak corrosive substances.
When the display shows that the battery charge level is low,
replace all four
batteries together.
Don’t leave dead batteries in your handset
— they might leak if you do.

Switching on and off

Transmission range
3 Using the Personal Mobile Radio (PMR)
The talk range depends on environment and terrain. It will be greatest
(up to about 3 km, or 13/4 miles) in wide open spaces, without obstructions
such as hills or buildings. Don’t try to use two PMR handsets which are less
than 1.5 m (5 feet) apart. If you do, you may get interference.
PMR446 is an open-licence band — always identify yourself when
transmitting, as other people may be communicating on the same
channel.
Battery life
The
TW30X
has a built-in Power Saver feature to make the batteries last longer.
But when you’re not using the handset, it’s best to switch it off to save battery
power. You’ll also find that the batteries last longer if you keep the backlight
switched off when you don’t need it.
Volume control
To adjust the loudspeaker volume:
Press the
or
button
The volume level is shown by the bars on the display.
You can change the volume either while you’re using your
TW30X
handset, or while the handset is idle (switched on but not in use).
Safety warnings
IMPORTANT —
To reduce radio frequency exposure when you’re using your
TW30X
,
hold the
handset at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your face.
Never use your
TW30X
outdoors in a thunderstorm.
The
TW30X
is
splashproof
. But if it is likely to get very wet, carry it in a
plastic
bag
— you’ll still be able to use it through the bag.
If your TW30X gets very wet
, turn it off and remove the batteries. Dry the battery
compartment and leave the cover off for a few hours.
Don’t use the handset
until it is completely dry
.

Monitoring the current channel
Press and release the
MONI

including background noise. It will carry on monitoring for about
20 seconds, unless you press and release the
MONI
button again
to stop it.
Normally, the
TW30X
will not pick up very weak signals. But you can monitor the
current channel for all sounds.
Ring tone
Press and release the CALL button
You’ll hear Ring tone for about 3 seconds, while the TRANSMITTING
light is on.
Any other handset within range and tuned to the same channel will
hear Ring tone, and may decide to transmit to you.
You can also use Ring tone at the end of a transmission to signal that
you’ve finished speaking.
You can send Ring tone to other handsets within range and
tuned to the same channel, to alert them you want to
communicate with them.

Press the MENU button FOUR times
VOX flashes on the display, and the current level of
VOX sensitivity is shown.

disappear altogether, you turn VOX mode off, and VOX
disappears from the display.
Press the ENTER button to confirm the setting
As long as the handset is in VOX mode,
VOX
is shown
steadily on the display.
In VOX mode, your handset will transmit whenever it detects your voice (or other
noise), without the TALK button pressed.
It will transmit for at least 2 seconds, even if you stop talking.
At the highest level (most bars), the handset will pick up softer noises (including
background noise); at the lowest level, it will pick up only quite loud noises.
