Channel Adjusting When transceiver in Channel mode or FM radio channel mode, rotate to adjust channel. Press to enter the downward channel, Press to enter the upward channel.
BASIC OPERATIONS 2. Enter the desired frequency by keypad. In VFO or FM VFO mode, you can directly input frequency by keypad. NOTE: The frequency input of main channel or FM radio is relevant to the stepping and transceiver frequency range. If frequency setup is beyond range or not matching with step size, the input is unavailable. Under the FM radio mode, the frequency step size input by numeric keys is 100k.
BASIC OPERATIONS ensure it is not busy, press [PTT] key and talk to speaker. Please keep the distance between mouth and speaker to be 2.5-5CM, speak in normal tone to get the best acoustic fidelity. NOTE: When press and hold PTT key, transceiver is transmitting if the red LED light is on, release [PTT] key to receive calls.
BASIC OPERATIONS MONI Key Function 1.Squelch off: Press [MONI] key, squelch is not mute, you can hear background noise. Press [MONI] again, squelch is mute. 2.Monetary Squelch off: Press [MONI] key, squelch is not mute, you can hear background noise. Release [MONI] again, squelch is mute.

BASIC OPERATIONS Offset Frequency Direction Setup Under standby state, press key, the top left corner of LCD displays " " icon, press key to choose offset frequency direction. There are 3 options, Positive offset, Minus offset, shut off offset. 1. (+) Positive offset: Indicates TX frequency is higher than RX frequency. When enable reverse function, the RX frequency is higher than TX frequency.
BASIC OPERATIONS 2. Channel Scan Under channel mode, this function is used for monitoring signal of each channel in this mode. Press numeric key or key to exit. NOTE: ▼ Frequency scan is of all bands scan, it scans upwards as your STEPPING setting. ▼...
BASIC OPERATIONS to set arrow directed channel as frequency reverse, repeat above operation to turn off frequency reverse. 1. When LCD displays "R" icon, it means current arrow directed channel open the frequency reverse function, the TX frequency and RX frequency is interchanged, if CTCSS/DCS signaling is set, it will also interchange.
BASIC OPERATIONS 3. When current group displays "EMPTY", press key, the top left corner of LCD displays " " icon, press and hold key until transceiver emits "DU" beep, transceiver enters into DTMF edit state, LCD displays "___________", now you can enter desired DTMF data by keypad. 4.
