ply and antenna conn~ctions, and connect your micro-
phone (or the module of the MW-1 Wueless Mie) to the

As mentioned before, references to alternate key/but-

seconds (wh1Ie "FUNC" appears in reverse letters above !he
leftmost frequency o n the dtsplay). In some cases we will
include the "non-shtfted" name in parent..1eses after the
blue label. just to help you find it

does not mean you
should press it twice). Al so, don't ho id the F/Wkey down,
