Operation Quick Start

 To turn the radio on,
rotate the (inner) VOL-
UME knob out of the
click-stop.
 A channel frequency
should appear on the dis-
play. If not, press down-
ward (momentarily) on
t h e V O L U M E k n o b
(repeatedly, if necessary)
so that "- VFO -" appears
on the display, followed by a channel frequency.
 Directly entering frequencies from the keypad is the
easiest method if you know the frequency on which
you wish to operate. Just enter the five digits of the
frequency to move to that frequency.
For example, to set 134.35 MHz,
press [ 1 ]  [ 3 ]  [ 4 ]  [ 3 ]  [ 5 ] .
To set 118.275 MHz, you do not need to press the
final "5" in the frequency:
[ 1 ]  [ 1 ]  [ 8 ]  [ 2 ]  [ 7 ] .
