Power and Volume

Before the power is turned on, ensure that the battery and antenna are both attached to the device as
described in the Initial Setup section of this manual.
Turning the Device On
To turn the device on, rotate the volume/power knob clockwise until you hear a click. If the radio
powers on correctly, there should be an audible beep, and the main display/backlight will turn on.
Turning the Device Off
To turn the device off, turn the volume/power knob counter-clockwise all the way until you hear a click.
The unit is now powered off.
Adjusting the Volume
To turn the volume up on your device, turn the volume/power knob clock-wise while in operation. To
turn the volume down, turn the volume/power knob counter-clockwise. Be careful not to turn the knob
too far as you may accidentally turn the radio off.
A good way to adjust the volume is by using the monitor function, enabled from the [MONI] button
which is located below the [PTT] button. This will more accurately and easily adjust the volume by
adjusting it to the unsquelch static sound.

device's microphone for approximately 3 to 5 cm from your mouth while transmitting. When the PTT
button is released, the device will go back to receive mode.
