Operations

Power on/off and volume adjustment

Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio on.
Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to adjust the volume level as you
prefer. To turn the radio off, rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a me-
chanical "click".

Transmission

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 in order to make sure
that the frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.
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, in order to listen to
signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently opened.
Hold down the Function key 1 to enable such function.

Scan

This function can be activated only by means of the optional programming software.
To enable the Scan function, all 16 channels must be programmed.
If you turn on the radio on channel 16, the scanning will automatically start.
Whenever any signal is detected, the scanning will stop on a busy channel.
If the PTT is pressed, you will transmit on the latest busy channel.
Channel 16 is the priority channel, therefore if you don't pick up any signal when
you press PTT, the radio will transmit on channel 16.
