BASIC MANUAL
■ Home Channel function
You can set an often-used frequency, Memory channel,
or repeater as a Home Channel in VFO mode, Memory
mode, and DR screen. When a Home CH is selected by
rotating [DIAL], a beep sounds. You will know the Home
CH selection without looking at the display.
D Setting a Home Channel
1. Select the VFO or Memory mode, or the DR screen to
set a Home Channel. (p. 14)
2. Select a frequency, Memory channel, or an access
repeater to be set as a Home Channel. (p. 16)
3. Push [QUICK].
4. Select “Home CH Set.”
5. Select “Set Frequency” (VFO mode), “Set Channel”
(Memory mode), or “Set Repeater” (DR screen).
• Sets a Home Channel, then returns to the standby
screen.
■ Transmitting
D Making a simplex call
R WARNING! NEVER transmit for long periods of time. During prolonged
transmissions at high power or mid-power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself
from overheating. The transceiver’s chassis will become hot and may cause a burn.
To prevent the transceiver’s overheating, the default setting of the time-out timer
function is set to 5 minutes. Be careful when the time-out timer function is turned OFF
or set to a long time period, and you transmit for long periods.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver where heat dissipation will be obstructed
if the transceiver is also being charged with an external power supply. Poor heat
dissipation may cause a burn, warp the casing, or damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT transmit without an antenna.
NOTE: When the transceiver becomes hot, the transceiver’s heat protection function
gradually reduces the output power to approximately 2.5 watts, then it stops transmission
after that. This is done to protect the transceiver itself until it can cool down.
NOTE: You can transmit on only the amateur frequency bands.
IMPORTANT: Before transmitting, monitor the operating frequency to make sure
transmitting won’t cause interference to other stations on the same frequency.
