Operation of the TEAM PT-2208S
1) Turning the unit On/Off
To turn on the unit rotate the volume control with ON/OFF switch [VOLUME/OFF] ( 4 )
from its rest position clockwise until you hear a click. A short beep tone will be heard
from the loudspeaker ( 8 ), which indicates that the unit is in reception mode. To switch
off the unit rotate the volume control with ON/OFF switch [VOLUME/OFF] ( 4 ) counter-
clockwise to the final stop [OFF] until you hear a click. This indicates that the unit is switched off
now.
2) Volume level adjustment
If a radio operator sends a message on the actual channel, you can hear it in the
incorporated loudspeaker ( 8 ). If the actual channel is free, the loudspeaker will be
silent. In this case you can produce a strong noise in the loudspeaker by pressing the
monitor key ( 6 ). Adjust the volume control [VOLUME/OFF] ( 4 ) to a comfortable
listening level. Turning the control clockwise will increase the volume level and turning it coun-
terclockwise will reduce the volume level.
3) Channel selection
The TEAM PT-2208S has maximal 16 channels available. To select another channel
turn the rotary channel selector [1-15, S] ( 3 ). According to the programming of the
channels, which has been made by your dealer, the unit will call up those transmit and
reception frequencies which correspond to the actual position 1 – 15 ( 16 ) of the
rotary channel selector.
Note: If the rotary channel selector is set to a un-programmed position, you will hear a con-
tinuous warning tone in the loudspeaker.
4) Transmission
Do not transmit if the antenna ( 1 ) is not mounted. Check activity on the actual channel. Do not
send if someone talks on the actual channel. Only if the loudspeaker is silent and the indicator
light ( 2 ) is dark, the channel is free. Press also the monitor key ( 6 ). There must be a noise if
the channel is not occupied.
To transmit depress and hold the PTT key ( 5 ). During transmission the indicator light ( 2 ) lights
up red and the rotary channel selector is disabled. Hold the unit upright. The sensitivity of the
built-in microphone is set for speaking at a distance of 2 inches. Speaking too loud will cause
distortions and makes the signal difficult to understand. On completion of the transmission re-
lease the PTT key and the set will return to receive mode.
Note: Radio operation is only possible with the counter operator at coinciding channels.
5)
Receiving
After being switched on, the unit is always in receiving mode, as long as it is not transmitting.
When it does not receive any signal on the actual channel, it would produce a disturbing noise
in the loudspeaker ( 8 ). For this end the unit is equipped with a built-in noise suppression circuit
( squelch ) that mutes the receiver if there is no signal on the actual channel. If there is any
incoming signal, the squelch will turn the loudspeaker on and cause the indicator light ( 2 ) simul-
taneously to light up green. This indicates that the channel is occupied. Your dealer can adjust
the squelch threshold. The squelch function can be disabled to hear also weak signals which are
not strong enough for the squelch to turn the loudspeaker on ( monitor function ).
Depress the monitor key ( 6 ). Now the noise suppression is shut off and the indicator light lights
up green simultaneously. If there is no station on the actual channel you hear a noise in the spea-
ker. To reactivate the squelch release the monitor key ( 6 ) again. Thus the squelch works again.
The monitor key function can also be changed by your dealer. For further information see point
4 of the chapter “Auxiliary functions of the PT-2208S”.
