Transmission and Reception

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
Briefly press the Function key 1 to enable the Monitor feature and make sure
that the frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.
For maximum clarity, hold the device at a distance of about 4/10 cm. Release
the PTT key to receive.
Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is
important not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and use the
transmission mode sparingly to allow other users to talk.
Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and should therefore be
used sparingly to prolong the battery life.
If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving, the
station may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.
Monitor
The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch, to listen to
signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently open.
Press briefly the Function key 1 to enable this function
Scan
This function is enabled by pushing Function key 2 for 3 seconds; The
LED will alternately blink green.
Whenever any signal is detected, scanning will stop on a busy channel.
If no functions are selected, scan will start after 5 seconds.
If you press the PTT, the radio will transmit on the latest busy channel.
After 10 seconds from releasing the PTT, G18 will return to the default
channel and scanning will be active again.
