BASIC OPERATION

Receiving and transmitting

Receiving:
Rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power.
q
Select a channel.
w
Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR].
➥
Push one of the memory channel keys, [MR-CH 1]
➥
to [MR-CH 4].
When receiving a call, adjust the audio output to a
e
comfortable listening level.
NOTE: When the Auto TX function is ON, after re-
ceiving a matched RX code signal, the transceiver
automatically transmits its microphone audio for a
preset time period.
Transmitting:
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will dam-
age the transceiver. See page 1-3 for antenna at-
tachment.
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interfer-
ence.
While holding down [PTT], speak into the micro-
q
phone at your normal voice level.
Release [PTT] to receive.
w
NOTE: To maximize the readability of your signal:
1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)
from your mouth, then speak at your normal voice
level.
D Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions, which re-
strict transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is muted. (PMR operation only)
- The channel is busy.
- A signal with an unmatched (or matched) CTCSS (or
DTCS) tone is received.
- The selected channel is a 'receive only' channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuously transmitting longer than the preset
time period, the time-out timer stops further transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer activates, transmitting is further
inhibited for a time period determined by the penalty
timer.
• PTTID call
The transceiver automatically sends the ID code (5-
Tone, DTMF, BIIS or MDC) when [PTT] is pushed (be-
ginning of the transmission) and/or released (end of
transmission), depending on the presetting.
