BASIC OPERATION

I S-meter squelch

The transceiver has an S-meter squelch. The S-meter
squelch allows you to set minimum signal level needed to
open the squelch.
q Turn the transceiver power OFF.

• Select output power if desired. See section at right for details.
w Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.
• "$" appears.
• The S/RF indicator shows the output power selection.
• A one-touch PTT function is available. See p. 16 for details.
e Speak into the microphone using your normal voice level.
• DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal.
r Release [PTT] to return to receive.
