Kenwood VC-H1 Receiving Images, Tell the other party that you are ready to receive an image

RECEIVING IMAGES

When the VC-H1 receives an image signal, it automatically identifies and sets the appropriate SSTV mode. The compatible modes are listed below:

Note: AF Mute must be switched OFF {page 13} to receive an image transmitted using Fast FM mode; the default is ON.

1Confirm that the VC-H1 has been correctly connected with the transceiver {page 5}.

On the transceiver:

2Turn ON the power to the transceiver.

3Select the same frequency as the other party.

4Adjust the volume control to a medium level.

On the VC-H1:

5Slide the PWR switch upward to turn the power ON.

• The TX/RX indicator lights green.

6Tell the other party that you are ready to receive an image.

VOL ENC

7When an image signal is received, the image is displayed on the monitor.

•The TX/RX indicator lights orange while an image is being received.

•If the TX/RX indicator is green even when the monitor is deactivated by the Battery Saver {page 11}, the VC-H1 can receive an image.

8To store the received image in an empty memory channel, press [MR].

•If the size of the received image is too large to be stored in one channel, the next channel is also used.

•When all channels are full, the currently selected channel is overwritten with a received image.

Note:

◆When you fail to receive the first portion of an image signal in a mode other than AVT 90, AVT 94, and Fast FM, pressing [RX] allows you to receive the remaining portion. However, because of possible insufficient synchronization, the VC-H1 could show an inappropriate color of an image, or fail to receive an image even if the TX/RX indicator lights orange.

◆The automatically identified SSTV mode is used for your next transmission unless the mode is manually changed. If the identified mode is neither Robot (color) 36 nor Fast FM, switching OFF the VC-H1 causes it to restore the previously selected mode; Robot (color) 36 or Fast FM.

◆If using a handy transceiver, switch OFF Battery Saver. When Battery Saver is ON, the transceiver may fail to receive an image.

◆If using a TH-G71 transceiver, increasing the audio volume beyond a certain amount may cause the transceiver to fail to receive an image. Select the volume in the range shown to the left.
