BASIC OPERATION
I Receiving and transmitting
NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the trans-
ceiver. See p. 2 for antenna attachment.
Receiving:
q Rotate [VOL] to turn power ON.
w Push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select a channel.
e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a comfort-
able listening level.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
q While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a
normal voice level.
• When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure de-
scribed at left may be necessary.
w Release [PTT] to return to receive.
IMPORTANT: 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 into the microphone at a normal voice
level.

D Receiving note
• Vibration function (Depends on the version)
When the matched RX code signal is received, the transceiver may
vibrate for a specified time period depends on the pre-setting. Push
any key or [PTT] to stop the vibration.
NOTE:
• The transceiver cannot stop the vibration suddenly after push-
ing any key or [PTT].
• The vibration sound may be heared at the communication
party, or be recorded if the recording function is activated when
[PTT] is pushed to stop the vibration.
D Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict trans-
mission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition ('Inaudible' condition; "
does not appear).
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received. (Depending on
the pre-setting)
- The selected channel is a 'receive only' channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period,
the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop trans-
mitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited
for a period determined by the penalty timer.
