BASIC OPERATION

I Transmitting

CAUTION:
Transmitting without an antenna may dam-
age the transceiver.
NOTE:
➥ To prevent interference, listen on the frequency before
transmitting by pushing the main band's [
the microphone's [➀MONI].
➥ To prevent howling and sensitivity rejection, AVOID set-
ting the 430(440) MHz band frequency near a multiple
of the 144 MHz band frequency, e.g. setting for
145 MHz and 435 MHz.
➀
Push the desired band's tuning dial to select the main band
for transmitting.
➁
Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 15–19)
