USING THE RADIO

In order to get the most out of your new radio, read this reference guide completely before attempting to operate the radio.

Adjusting the Sound (Key Beeps)

Your radio emits a beep each time one of the keys (except for the PTT button and call key) is pressed. The sound of the Key Beep will increase or decrease depending on the volume level setting.

Press and hold the call key while turning ON the radio.

To turn ON this beep:

Choosing a Channel

Your TR620 radio has 22 channels you can use to talk to others. In order to speak to someone, each of you must be set to the same channel.

To choose a channel:

Press the channel/scan or keys to increase or decrease the channel number displayed.

Channel Scan Feature

Your TR620 radio has a channel Scan feature that allows you to easily Scan all 22 channels. When an active channel is detected, the unit will pause on that channel until the channel is clear. Then after a 2 second delay, the unit will continue scanning. Pressing PTT button while the Scan is paused on a channel will allow you to transmit on that channel.

To turn ON channel scanning:

Press and hold either the channel/scan or key. The channel number on the display will rapidly cycle through the channels.

To turn OFF channel scanning:

Press either the channel/scan or key.

Note: If you press either the channel/scan or key while the unit is pausing on a channel, scanning will resume.

Talking on Your Radio

To talk to others using the radio:

1. Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a clear, normal voice about 2-3 inches away from the microphone.
   While you are transmitting the tx icon is displayed. To avoid cutting off the first part of your transmission, pause slightly after pressing the PTT button before you start talking.
2. When you are finished speaking, release the PTT button. You can now receive incoming calls. While receiving, the rx icon is displayed.

Transmitting a Call Alert Tone

Your TR620 radio is equipped with a call tone that will be transmitted when the call key is pressed.

To transmit the call alert tone, press the call key. The tone will automatically be transmitted for a fixed length of time.

Auto Squelch Feature

The TR620 is equipped with an automatic squelch system which shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise due to terrain conditions or if you have reached your range limit.

Monitor Mode Feature

Your TR620 radio allows you to listen in for weak signals on the current channel at the press of a key.

To turn ON monitor mode:

Press and hold the volume/mon or key. The rx icon will blink.

To turn OFF monitor mode:

Press the volume/mon or key. The rx icon will disappear.

Automatic Power Save Feature

Your TR620 has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of the batteries.

If there is no transmission nor an incoming call within 2 seconds, your radio switches to the Power Save mode. The radio is still able to receive transmissions in this mode.
