SELECTING A CHANNEL
Your radio offers different number of conventional channels. To select a channel,
press the 
/ 
buttons until you reach the desired channel.
Program each channel separately. Each channel has its own Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before transmitting to ensure that you do not "talk over" someone who is already transmitting
To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button to access channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear "static". Press the SB1 button again to release.
Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the PTT button.
When transmitting, the radio LED will be solid red.
Note: In order to listen to all activity on a current channel, short press the SB1 in order to set the CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is called "CTCSS/DPL Defeat (Squelch set to SILENT)".
(*)This assumes SB1 is not being programmed for a different mode.
