PRESS-TO-TALK MICROPHONE

The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the
microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch to
receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from the mouth and
speak clearly in a normal "voice". The radios come complete with low-impedance
(500 ohm) dynamic microphone. For installation instruction on other microphones,
see next section, "ALTERNATE MICROPHONES AND INSTALLATION".

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE

1. Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the
proper connectors before going to the next step.
2. Turn unit on by tuning VOL control clockwise on your transceiver.
3. Set the VOLUME for a comfortable listening level.
4. Set the MODE switch to the desire mode.
5. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQUELCH control
slowly clockwise until the noise JUST disappears (no signal should be
present). Leave the control at this setting. The SQUELCH is now properly
adjusted. The receive will remain quiet until a signal is actually received. Do
not advance the control too far, or some of the weaker signals will not be heard.
6. Set CHANNEL selector switch to the desired channel.
7. Set the RF gain control fully clockwise for maximum RF gain.

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO TRANSMIT

1. Select the desired channel of transmission.
2. Set the MIC GAIN control fully clockwise.
