To install the batteries:

1. Make sure your radio is OFF.
2. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing on and sliding the compartment door, and remove the cover.
3. Install 3 AAA Alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. Be certain to follow the + and – symbols in the compartment. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating.

USING THE DEVICE

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

Turning the Device On and Adjusting the Volume

1. Press and hold the key to turn the radio ON.
2. To change the volume level press the vol/mon or key to increase or decrease the volume level.
3. Press and hold the key to turn the radio OFF.

Adjusting the Sound (Key Beeps)

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

To turn OFF this beep:
Press and hold the call/lock key while turning ON the radio.

To turn ON this beep:
Turn the radio OFF and ON again without pressing the call/lock key.

Choosing a Channel

Your 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 ch/scan or key to increase or decrease the channel number displayed.

Channel Scan Feature

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

To turn ON channel scan:
Press and hold either the ch/scan or key for 3 seconds. The channel number on the display will rapidly cycle through the channels.

To turn OFF channel scanning:
Press either the ch/scan or key.

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

Talking on Your Device

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

To transmit the call tone, tap the call/lock key. The tone will be transmitted.

Auto Squelch Feature

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

To turn ON monitor mode:
Press and hold the vol/mon or key. The rx icon will blink.

To turn OFF monitor mode:
Press the vol/mon or key. The rx icon will stop blinking and disappears.

Automatic Power Save Feature

Your radio has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of the batteries. If there is neither a 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.

KEYLOCK ON/OFF

Press and hold the call/lock key until the "L" appears. After 1 second, the LCD will return to the channel display.

To exit Keylock on mode, press and hold call/lock again.

Note: While in keylock on mode, it will still receive transmissions.

ROGER BEEP

Roger Beep is a BEEP that is sent automatically at the end of transmissions.
Roger Beep can be heard through the speaker when both Roger beep and Key Beep are set to ON. When Roger beep is set to ON and Key Beep OFF, Roger Beep will not be heard from the speaker but it will be transmitted to your party.
When Roger Beep is set to OFF, Roger Beep will not be heard or transmitted.

To turn OFF Roger Beep:
Press and hold the ch/scan key while turning ON the radio.

To turn ON Roger Beep:
Turn the radio OFF and ON again without pressing ch/scan key.
