Basic operation
Turning on/o
To turn on the transceiver, turn the VOLUME knob clockwise until you hear it
clicks: the LCD display will light up and do an Auto-Test. Subsequently you will
hear 2 beeps of dierent tones.
To turn o the transceiver, turn the knob counter-clockwise until you hear
another click.
Volume control
Turn the knob VOLUME to about half way and adjust it to a comfortable level
as soon as you receive a signal. If you do not receive a signal you can use the
button MON/SCAN described in par. “MON button”.
Transmission and reception
The PTT key has a dual function, as it is composed by 2 parts: a bigger PTT and
a red one, smaller, identified with “boost”.
When you press the bigger PTT the transceiver transmits with high or low po-
wer (depending on the setting of the MENU: H or L); while the smaller PTT
(Boost) always transmits with high power.
To transmit:
1. Make sure that no one else is currently talking on the selected channel;
2. Keep button PTT firmly pressed: TX will appear on the display;
3. Before you start talking wait for a fraction of a second then speak normal-
ly, in the direction of the microphone, and hold the device at a distance
of about 5 cm.
4. When you have finished, release the PTT: TX will disappear from the di-
splay;
5. When the radio is in reception mode (PTT not pressed) you will automa-
tically receive any communication (RX displayed).
During transmission and reception try, as far as possible, to keep the antenna in
vertical position and to avoid obstacles towards the direction of the other party.
