Switching on your PMR radio
To switch the radio on or off,
press and hold the power
button for at least 2 seconds.
The unit will bleep, the
LCD panel will display information about your radio and
the panel will be illuminated by a green light for several
seconds.
Communication
You can communicate in two directions with your new
PMR radio. Eight channels are available. You can either
talk directly to others and hear their response or call
them with an audible tone.
PMR radios can only communicate when either the
TALK button (for speech) or the CALL button (for
paging) is pressed. The unit can only receive when
both buttons are fully released.
Receiving communications
When your radio is switched on and is not being used to
transmit voice communication or for paging, it will always
be in the receiving mode.
You cannot receive any transmissions when the
TALK
or
CALL
button is pressed, even if you are not speaking.
Pressing these buttons automatically switches off the re-
ceiving mode.
If you are using the unit for conversational purposes, you
must release the
TALK
and/or
CALL
button to be able to
hear the responses of the other person.
Failure to do so will mean that the unit stays in the trans-
mission mode, preventing you from hearing communica-
tions from other units.
