Operation/functions
At first, a description of the
basic functions
of your radio set is provided, these functions are
operated using the front keyboard of the device.
All further functions/individual settings which are controlled via the two menus
(memory and

Finally, we provide you with explanations on the individual functions or
supplemental information
on how to operate the radio set in a gateway.
Basic functions
Switching on
After having established all connections (incl. microphone and antenna!) switch your radio set

Channel selection
Use the channel switch to adjust the channel you wish to use for receiving/transmitting.
Choosing the type of modulation (AM/FM)
Using the adjustments 40/40 and 80/40 you can either operate your radio set in FM or in AM
modulation. Frequency-modulated signals (FM) are less sensitive to interferences resulting from
the ignition system etc. than amplitude-modulated signals (AM). The decision, which type of
modulation is your preferred one, depends on your radio contact partners and on your and/or the
legal requirements.
If your loudspeaker emits an unintelligible, distorted signal, you should try receiving the signal
using a different type of modulation. You can change the type of modulation by pressing the
A/F
key.
