  • Page 12: Group Mode

    Group Mode is a function which allows you to reject signals from undesired parties that are using the same channel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker only when you receive a signal that matches your Group Mode number. Likewise, when you transmit on a channel set up with a Group Mode number, the receiving station must have a matching Group Mode number in order to hear your call.

  • Page 13: Secret Mode

    Whereas the Group Mode function (page 10) allows you to ignore unwanted calls, Secret Mode allows you to hold a conversation in complete privacy. When activated, any other party listening in on your channel will be unable to understand your conversation. The transceiver scrambles your voice so that anybody listening in on your conversation will not be able to understand what you are saying.

    3 Press the PTT switch or turn the transceiver power OFF to confirm your setting. ATTERY NDICATOR The battery indicator on the display lets you know approxi- mately how much battery life is remaining. When the battery voltage becomes too low while transmitting, the transceiver stops transmitting and a tone sounds until you release the PTT switch.

  • Page 16: Auto Power Off (Apo)

    OWER Auto Power Off is useful when you unintentionally leave the transceiver power ON. This function saves battery consump- tion. After two hours elapse with no controls adjusted or activated and no calls received, APO turns the transceiver power OFF. One minute before power is turned OFF, a warning tone sounds (even if the beep tone has been turned OFF).

    4 To end the scan at any time, press the ▲, ▼, or key. OICE CTIVATED Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. For best operating conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
  • Page 19 When operating VOX, if you find that the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after you stop speaking, the end of your message may not be transmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time to allow your entire message to be transmitted.

  • Page 20: Calling Alert Tones

    ALLING LERT ONES Calling Alert Tones are used to identify yourself to your party members. You can set up a Calling Alert Tone to one of ten types. If each party member uses a different tone, it is easy to know who is making the call.

  • Page 21: Squelch

    QUELCH When no signals are present, the squelch on the transceiver automatically mutes the speaker so you will not hear background noise. You can however, deactivate the squelch. This feature is useful for a variety of reasons: • It allows you to confirm the channel activity so that you don’t make a call while another party is using the same channel.

  • Page 22: Operating Features

    OPERATING FEATURES You can lock the ▲, ▼, and changing the channel and channel settings. Additionally, while the transceiver is locked, you cannot enter the Menu Settings (page 12). Press and hold the lock or unlock the transceiver keys. • The icon appears on the display when the transceiver keys are locked.

  • Page 23: Transmit Power Saver

    RANSMIT OWER AVER The purpose of the Transmit Power Saver is to prevent you from transmitting continuously for a long time. This function is useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the PTT switch pressed. If you continuously transmit for 3 minutes, the transceiver will stop transmitting and a tone will sound.

  • Page 24: Loudness

    OUDNESS This transceiver has a built in booster amplifier. You can control the volume level by rotating the VOL control. However, if you are in an environment with excessive ambient noise, you may find that it is difficult to hear the audio from the transceiver, even with the volume increased to its maximum value.
