Temporarily Opening Squelch
The current setting for Squelch, Repeater Offset for the selected band, RX Tone, and TX Tone can be displayed by pressing and holding M. (see “Setting the CTCSS Tones” on Page 6).
Selecting Frequencies and Receiving Transmissions
•When you directly enter a frequency, the transceiver accepts only six digits and it automatically rounds down the last digit of the frequency to 0 or 5. For example, if you enter 440.244, your transceiver accepts it as 440.240. If you enter 440.248, the transceiver accepts it as 440.245. If you set the frequency step to 6.25 kHz, 7.5 kHz, or
12.5 kHz, you need to select frequencies using CH, or 8 or 9.
•If the transceiver picks up unwanted, weak transmissions, set the squelch to a different level (See “Setting the Squelch Level” on Page 4).

Your transceiver's buttons perform multiple functions. The abbreviation or symbol for a function is printed on, above, or below each button.
To activate certain transceiver features, you must press F (function) and another button at the same time. Those key combination instructions are printed as first button name, +, then the second button name. For example, F+TOT means hold down F while you press TOT.
Button names are printed in small, bold, capital letters such as CLR or MR. Words, symbols, and numbers that appear on the
display are printed using a distinctive typeface, such as '*,$/*& or CH.

If you use the Tone Squelch (CTCSS) feature (see “Setting the CTCSS Tones” on Page 6), you might not hear a transmission on the current frequency. To temporarily open the squelch so you can hear all transmissions on the frequency, hold down M. To resume normal operation, release M. ±

Repeatedly press until the transceiver displays a frequency from the desired band. The band changes in the following order: VHF, UHF, AIR, WX.
Repeatedly pressing 6or7 allows selection of squelch, VHF repeater offset, UHF repeater offset, receive tone squelch (CTCSS), transmit tone squelch (CTCSS), DTMF, SAME area code, and SAME on/off

1. Repeatedly press to select the desired receiving mode (VHF, UHF, Air, Weather).
2.Select a frequency using one of the following methods.
Using CH: Rotate CH clockwise or counterclockwise to select a frequency (or channel for the weather band). The frequency changes in increments you set (see “Setting the Frequency Step” on Page 8) for each rotation click. Hold down F while rotating CH to change the frequency by 1 MHz increments regardless of the selected step frequency.
Using 8 and 9: Repeatedly press (or hold down) 8 or 9 until the desired
frequency appears. Hold down F while pressing 8 or 9 to change the frequency by 1 MHz increments.
Using Direct Key Entry: Use the number keys to directly enter a frequency, including the three numbers to the right
of the decimal. (You do not enter the decimal point.) ±

There are two basic types of communication possible with this transceiver:
1.Select the desired transmit band VHF/ UHF and frequency using manual or direct entry.
2.Hold the transceiver about 3 inches from your mouth.
