HX851E
NOTE
When the
HX851E
receives and computes a fix using
the internal GPS, a “
” icon will appear on the upper
right corner of the display. Position and time will ap-
pear on the lower left corner of the display. When the
transceiver fails to receive a fix, the radio will show
the lower right display. In this case, you may be in a
poor location for satellite reception, such as indoor
use; try moving to a less obstructed position.
When the
HX851E
is first turned on, it may take several minutes to
compute a fix of your position. This is normal, as the
HX851E
is down-
loading “almanac” information from the GPS satellites.
6.4 TRANSMISSION
1. Perform the “
6.3 RECEPTION
” discussion above.
2. Before transmitting, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
3. For communications over short distances, press the [
H/L
(
)] key until
“
” is displayed on the display. This indicates Low
power (approximately 1 watt).
Note
: Transmitting on 1 watt prolongs battery life. Low
power (1 watt) should be selected whenever possible.
4. If using Low power is not effective, select M1 power (2.5 watts: “
” icon
appears), M2 power (5 watts: “
” icon appears), or High power (6 watts:
“
” icon appears) by pressing the [
H/L
(
)] key.
5. When receiving a signal, wait until the incoming signal stops before trans-
mitting. The transceiver cannot transmit and receive simultaneously.
6. Press the
PTT
(Push-To-Talk) switch to transmit. During transmission, the
“
” indicator will appear on the display and the
TX/BUSY
indicator will
grow red.
7. Position your mouth about 1.2 ~ 2.5 cm away from the small mic hole.
Speak slowly and clearly into the microphone.
8. When the transmission is finished, release the
PTT
switch.
