3 BASIC OPERATION

■Receiving and transmitting

NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver. See (p. 1) for accessory attachments.

Receiving:

qRotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.

wPush [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the conventional sys- tem channel, in sequence.

eWhen receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a comfortable listening level.

Transmitting:

Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.

•Coded audio may be heard from the transceiver, then “ ” appears.

•This operation may not be necessary depending on your signal- ing system. Ask your dealer for details.

wWhile pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the micro-

phone at a normal voice level.

eRelease [PTT] to return to receive.

IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal;

1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].

2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm from your mouth, then

speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

DTransmitting notes

• Transmit inhibit function

The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions:

-The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition; “ ” does not appear.)

-The channel is busy.

-Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.

(Depending on the pre-setting.)

-The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.

•Time-out timer

After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiv- er to stop transmitting.

• Penalty timer

Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
