GETTING STARTED
For the following explanations, refer to page 8 of the user guide.
TURNING RADIO ON/OFF
To turn ON the radio, rotate the ON/OFF/ Volume Knob clockwise. The radio will chirp and the LED will briefly blink red.
To turn the radio OFF, rotate the ON/OFF/ Volume Knob counterclockwise until you hear a ‘click’ and the radio LED indicator turns OFF.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
Turn the ON/OFF/Volume Knob clockwise to increase the volume, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear when it is at a high volume setting or when adjusting the volume setting.
SELECTING A CHANNEL
To select a channel, rotate the Channel Selector Knob and select the desired channel number.
Program each channel separately. 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, press and hold the SB1(*) button for 2 to 3 seconds 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 radio LED will blink red every 3 seconds.
(*)This assumes SB1 has not been programmed for a different mode.
