SELECTING A SSTV MODE

To correctly transmit or receive images, you and the other party have to select the same SSTV mode. So first consult with your party about the mode to be used. You can select either Robot (color) 36 or Fast FM; the factory default is Robot (color) 36.

Note: The Fast FM mode is available only when using a TM-255, TM-455, TM-733, TM-V7, or TM-G707 transceiver; 9600 bps must be selected on the transceiver as the data transfer rate. For details, contact your authorized KENWOOD dealer, customer service, or service center. In Fast FM mode, the VC-H1 does not output audio from the speaker while receiving an image, and does not function as a speaker microphone.

Press [TX]+ POWER ON to switch the mode.

•The FAST FM indicator shows which mode is selected.

Lights red: Fast FM

Goes out: Robot (color) 36
