GETTING STARTED
For the following explanations, refer to page 8
of the user guide.
TURNING RADIO ON/OFF
To turn ON the radio, rotate the ON/OFF/
Volume Knob clockwise. The radio will chirp
and the LED will briefly blink red.
To turn the radio OFF, rotate the ON/OFF/
Volume Knob counterclockwise until you hear
a ‘click’ and the radio LED indicator turns OFF.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
Turn the ON/OFF/Volume Knob clockwise to
increase the volume, or counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.
Note:
Do not hold the radio too close to the ear
when it is at a high volume setting or when
adjusting the volume setting.
SELECTING A CHANNEL
To select a channel, rotate the Channel
Selector Knob and select the desired channel
number.
Program each channel separately. Each
channel has its own Frequency, Interference
Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before
transmitting to avoid ‘talking over’ someone
who is already transmitting
To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button
for 2 to 3 seconds to access channel traffic. If
no activity is present, you will hear ‘static’. To
release, press SB1 again. Once channel traffic
has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing
the PTT button. When transmitting, the radio
LED will blink red every 3 seconds.
(*) This assumes SB1 has not been programmed for
a different mode.
