2.15 GENERAL OPERATION
Switch on the RC unit by momentarily pressing the knob. Select the desired band by pressing one
of the band select keys on the left of the display. Press the knob again to show CHAN on the
bottom right of the display. Rotate the knob until the desired channel or talk group is selected.
Press the knob until VOL is again shown on the display. You can adjust the volume by waiting
until a signal is received or by pressing F1 (factory programmed for monitor function) and
adjusting the rotary knob. The radio is ready to use. If the radio is installed in separate mode,
remember that the band selected by the soft keys is what menu is displayed on the screen but the
band selected by the audio panel is the band that you are transmitting and receiving on. To use
the DTMF keypad while transmitting, the band you are using must be selected on the display. If
the radio is installed using both of the combined input/outputs, then pressing the MODE key will
alternate the display between the two users.
