SELECTING A CHANNEL
To select a channel, turn the Channel Selector Knob until you reach the desired channel. An audible voice indicates the selected channel.
Each channel has its own Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before transmitting to avoid ‘talking over’ someone who is already transmitting
To monitor, long press and hold the SB1(*) button to access channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear ‘static’. To release, press SB1 again. Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the PTT button. When transmitting, the LED Indicator stays solid red.
Notes:
•To listen to all activity on a current channel, short press the SB1 to set the CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is called ‘CTCSS/DPL Defeat (Squelch set to SILENT)’.
•(*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed for a different mode.
