Operation

Call Tone Function (Wake Up Tones)

Press the microphone [CALL/SELCALL] Button. A three second wake up ringing tone
will be transmitted.
You may select from 10 types of tones (see p.22).

transmission per minute. If a second transmission is attempted within
one minute then an error tone will sound.

• Every 1.5 seconds the Instant channel is monitored for 100msec.
• Dual watch function stops temporarily when receiving a signal.
NOTE
• Dual watch function is invalid in Scan mode.

Using Repeater Channels

UHF CB repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the
range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions. In
normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and receives
on that same frequency.
If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another
radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to
act as a screen between radios.
Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station.
