4.To transmit, hold down push-to-talk, then hold your transceiver about 3 inches from your mouth and speak slowly in a normal tone of voice. The BUSY•TX/LO BATT indicator lights red.

5.When you finish your message, release push-to-talk. The BUSY•TX/ LO BATT indicator lights green when you receive a transmission.

6.Adjust VOL to a comfortable listen- ing level.

7.If you are not using CTCSS, wait until there is no signal on the chan- nel, then slowly turn SQL/CTCSS clockwise until the background noise stops.

Note: Do not turn SQL/CTCSS too far clockwise because you might cut out weak signals.

If you are using CTCSS (see “Why Use CTCSS?” on Page 11), turn SQL/CTCSS counterclockwise until it clicks.

8.To turn off the transceiver, turn VOL counterclockwise.
