5.5 Transmission and reception

Transmitting without a perfectly functioning antenna may seriously damage 
the transceiver.

The   

PTT  

(Push-To-Talk)  button  is  located  on  the external microphone of your 

KV-300. To transmit:
1. Ensure that no one else is speaking.
2. Hold down the PTT button on the microphone. TX will appear on the Display.  
     Wait   for    a   second,  then    speak   in    a   normal   voice  about   5  cm   from  the 
     microphone.
3. When  you  have  finished, release  the  PTT button: TX will disappear from the 
     display.  Now  KV-300   is  in  receiving  mode  (silent and waiting for a signal) 
     and will automatically receive any communication.

5.6 Selecting high and low transmission power

The  transmission  phase  absorbs  the most energy. To reduce the risk of wearing 
out  the  battery,  we recommend selecting low transmission power when transm-
itting   over  short   distances.  Hold   the  

H/L

  button down (on the radio): 

Lo

 (low 

power) appears on the display. When transmitting or receiving over long distances 
or  with  weak  signals, press  the  

H/L

   button   again. 

Lo

 will be replaced with 

Hi

 

(high power) on the display.
When the transceiver is tuned to a channel limited to low output power, pressing 
the 

H/L

 button has no effect.

5.7 Instant recall of channel 16

Channel 16 is a security and distress channel. This channel is used for emergency 
communications.
Press  the  16  button  (the  red  one  on the keypad) and you will be tuned on the 
emergency channel.
To return to the channel previously used, simply press the 

16 

button again.

Do not  transmit  on channel 16 unless absolutely necessary. Doing so may 
impede emergency operations.

12

The  display/keypad  backlight  can  be adjusted according to your needs or to the 
environmental conditions.
To select the desired level of backlight:

eep pressed MENU/SELECT until DSC CALL appears on the display;

sing  t he  UP/ DOWN   buttons   select  SYSTEM   and  confirm   pushing 

     MENU/SELECT;

elect BACKLIGHT and confirm by pushing MENU/SELECT;
elect the desired backlight level, from 0 to 3.

To return to the radio modality, push PTT, select EXIT in every menu, or wait for 

 and the radio will automatically exit .
