BASIC OPERATIONS
Receiving
When your transceiver receives a transmission, the LED light will light up.
NOTE: You may not receive the call if your transceiver is set at a high squelch level. If the current
channel is programmed with a mandatory decode (RX) tone (CTCSS, DCS, etc), the selected tone also
must be present for the call to be heard.
Transmitting
Before transmitting, make sure that the channel you want to use is not currently in use (by someone
that may be on a different "Tone" setup). Monitor the channel with the squelch off (according to how
you have the function keys setup). Once confirmed press the [PTT] key and talk into the microphone.
Keep the distance between your mouth and the microphone about 1-2 inches. Speak in your normal
voice (don't whisper and don't yell into the mic) for the best audio clarity.
NOTE: When pressing and holding the PTT key, the radio will transmit (and will be indicated by the
red LED light). Release the [PTT] key to receive calls.

Emergency Alarm
