SELECT
To select a different channel when you have selected a conventional system:
1.Press the CHANNEL/SEL + or - ramp button until the desired channel name appears in the alphanumeric display. A tone sounds each time the channel name changes unless the BSY indicator is on.
CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION
1.Select the conventional channel using +/- ramp button.
2.Determine if the channel is in use before making the call by pressing CLR to momentarily disable the squelch and monitor the channel for activity. Also, removing the MIC from the holder disables Channel Guard which allows monitoring of the channel without disabling the squelch.
3.Press PTT to send the message.
RECEIVING A CALL
1. Make sure that the radio is turned ON, and the proper channel is selected using the CHANNEL/SEL + or - ramp button and the SYS button.
2.Press the CLR button to monitor the channel. Noise will be heard if there is no activity on the channel. This function is also useful for setting the desired volume level.
3.You will hear the voice message automatically if a valid message is received by your radio.
SENDING A MESSAGE
1.Make sure the radio is turned ON, and the proper Channel and System have been selected.
2.Press and hold the CLR switch and then adjust the VOLUME controls for the desired listening level. Release CLR switch.
3.Decide what you want to say. If you intend a lengthy message (or several messages), the vehicle engine should be running to maintain the battery charge.
