Using Your FR-560FM

Turning the Transceiver On and Off (PWR)

Pressing the PWR button (1) for 2 seconds will activate the unit. The speaker will sound a beep tone to confirm the transceiver’s activation. In addition, the transceiver will perform a 1-second power-on self-test, whereby the LCD display will show all functional items. To turn the unit off, simply press and hold the PWR button for 2 seconds; then release it.

Volume Level

Audio reception volume is controlled by the Up ( ▲ ) and the Down ( ▼ ) button. Momentarily pressing either button will raise or lower the volume level. A bar graph on the right side of the display will show the volume level setting.

Call Button (8)

When the CALL button is pressed, the FR-560FM will transmit a 3-second ringing sound to other transceiver’s tuned to the same channel. This feature can be used to signal other parties that voice communication is desired.

Low Battery Alert

When the batteries are in need of replacement or charging, the low

battery icon will appear on the LCD display.

Monitor Button (M)

You can monitor channel activity by pressing the Monitor (M) button

(3). If pressed for more than 2 seconds, the monitor feature will be locked “on” to continuously monitor channel activity. Momentarily press the Monitor button again to return to normal operation.
