Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time,
confirm that the power connections have been made cor-
rectly and that a proper antenna is connected to the an-
tenna jack.

display will become illuminated. The radio will
start up on the last channel used prior to shut-
down during the previous operating session.
Turn the
CHANNEL
selector knob to choose the
desired operating channel. A channel name will
appear on the display. If you want to select the
operating channel from a different Memory

want before selecting the operating channel.

no signal is present, press and hold in the

will now be heard, and you may use this to set
the
VOLUME
knob for the desired audio level.
Press and hold the
MON
button more than 1/2
seconds to quiet the noise and resume normal
(quiet) monitoring.

PTT

phone (the “

Automatic Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for
automatic time-out, you must limit the length of
each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will
sound five seconds before time-out. Another beep
will sound just before the deadline; the “
TX
” in-
dicator will disappear and transmission will cease
soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must
release the
PTT
and wait for the “penalty timer”
to expire (if you press the
PTT
before this timer
expires, the timer restarts, and you will have to
wait another “penalty” period.)
