Basic Operations

Talking and listening

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel and CTCSS\CDCSS codes.

To talk, press and hold the PTT key. The red TX indicator light glows continuously when transmitting.

To receive messages, release the PTT key.

For maximum clarity, hold the radio two to three inches away from your mouth and speak directly into the microphone. Do not cover the microphone while talking.

Transmit power setting

The radio can transmit at 1 watt or 4 watt. When 1 watt is selected, will appear on the display. When this icon is off, the radio will transmit with high power. FCC law dictates, you should only increase power to 4 watts if your FCC license permits.

Press and hold the SCAN button for 2 seconds to switch the setting.

Basic Operations

Scan

Use scanning to monitor channels and codes for transmissions or to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels. When priority scan feature is enabled, the priority channel will be scanned after every normal channel, regardless of whether the priority channel is added into the scan list.

To start scanning, briefly press the SCAN key. The scan indicator will appear.

When the radio detects channel activity, it stops scanning and you can hear the transmission.

To respond to the transmission, press PTT.

If the scan stops on a channel that you don’t want to listen to, briefly press the UP or DOWN button to resume scanning for the next active channel.

To exit the function, press the SCAN key again.

Emergency call\ Hands-free function

The emergency call key is used to call others for help when emergency events happen.
