w Listen for a transmission and adjust [VOL] to a comfortable
listening level.
•
When no transmission is heard, push and hold monitor while ad-
justing [VOL] (your transceiver may not be programmed with the
monitor function).
The transceiver is now set to receive desired calls on the se-
lected channel.
Transmitting:

e While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the micro-
phone at a normal voice level.
•

CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
I Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding
CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary
prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may
be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific
station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contact-
ing you.
q Select the desired Tx code channel or 5-tone code ac-
cording to your System Operator's instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to the next page for selection.
w Push the call switch (assigned to one of the dealer pro-
grammable switches: [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [A], [B], [C], [D],
[Ω], [
] and [ – – ]).
e After transmitting a 5-TONE code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
