Operation

Time-out timer

The time-out timer feature helps extend battery life by preventing accidental transmission.

The radio will emit a continuous warning tone if the button is pressed for more than 60 continuous seconds and will stop transmitting.

The battery level meter

The battery level meter located in the display indicates how much battery power you have remaining to protect the rechargeable battery. When the battery meter has one segment left, the radio will chirp after releasing or every 10 minutes.

Duplex mode

Repeater stations can re-transmit your signal over a wider area giving you extended range depending on the location, height and availability of the local repeater station. For information on the locations of repeater sites in Australia and New Zealand visit our website.

Your radio supports duplex mode on channels 1 - 8. If the repeater channel in your area is channel 1, when you are in duplex mode the transmit channel will be channel 31.

1.Select the repeater channel in your area (channel 1 to channel 8).

2.Press the button to enter duplex mode, press or to switch between duplex and simplex mode.

For example, Select channel 1, duplex mode will display ‘’. Simplex mode will display 1.

Dual channel scan

In stand-by, the PMR is set on one set channel with CTCSS code. The PMR will only receive signals transmitted on that channel and CTCSS code. Dual Channel Monitor allows you to monitor a second channel with CTCSS code.
