Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power con-
nections have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to the
antenna jack.
Switching Power ON/OFF
Turn the VOL/PWR knob turn on the radio. The display will become illuminated.
Press the [ ] / [ ] button to choose the desired operating group. A group name
will appear on the display. If you want to select an operating group from a
different zone, press the PF (Programmable Function) button which is pro-
grammed to the Zone Up/Down feature to select the zone you want before se-
lecting the operating group. See page 8 for more information on the Program-
mable Function keys.
Setting the Volume
Turn the VOL/PWR knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclock-
wise to decrease it.
Transmitting
C
ONVENTIONAL
To transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
THIS IS AN FCC REQUIREMENT!
Press the PF button which is programmed to the Monitor feature to listen for
channel activity.
When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio
cannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously.
Press the PTT switch.
If the channel is clear, the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red. The radio is now
transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the micro-
phone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the microphone
about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch to receive.
If the Busy Lockout feature has been programmed on a group, the radio will not
transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate a short beep
three times and indicate "ERROR" on the display. Release the PTT switch and
wait for the channel to be clear of activity.
If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed on a
group, the radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being received or
when the carrier being received includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.
