1) Ensure the channel you’ve selected is not a reception-only channel
(if it is, the transmission will be disabled) and that no one else is
talking (this will appear on your display as the BUSY icon).
2) Hold down the PTT button: will appear on the display, and the
icon will indicate your relative transmission power (the number
of bars is proportional to your relative transmission power).
3) Wait a second, then speak in a normal voice, facing the transcei-
ver’s microphone at a distance of approx. 5 cm.
4) When you have completed your message, release the PTT button:
and will disappear from the display and the transceiver will
return to reception mode.
Obviously, you can only communicate with stations that are tuned
on the same channel.
If the BUSY icon appears on the display, but you don’t hear
anything, you may have accidentally turned the volume to the
minimum level.
5.5 Monitor function
The (Monitor) button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the
circuit which silences the receiver in the absence of signals (squelch)
in order to listen for extremely weak signals that can’t open the squel-
ch stably. In this mode, you avoid listening to broken communication.
To activate the monitor function, hold down the button until you
hear background noise (or else a weak signal). Release the but-
ton when you have finished listening.
If you wish to keep the squelch open for longer periods without
holding down the button, press the button for at least 5
seconds, until you hear two acoustic sounds (beeps), then release
the button. The squelch will remain open until you briefly press the
button again.
5.6 Selecting transmission power
The transmission phase absorbs the most energy. To extend the bat-
tery duty, you can select low transmission power when transmitting
over short distances. To do this, briefly press the HI/LO button: LOW
will appear on the display (low power is approx. 0.5 W). If you wish to
transmit or receive over long distances or with weak signals, press
the HI/LO button again: LOW will disappear and high power will be
selected (approx. 2W).
The transceiver is factory preset on high power.
5.7 Instant recall of channel 16
Channel 16 is used as the universal marine channel for emergency
communication. Your transceiver is equipped with a button that provi-
des instant access to this channel. To instantly recall channel 16, press
the ch 16 button. Channel 16 will be selected (regardless of the usage
mode selected, except for scanning). To return to the channel selected
previous to channel 16, press the ch 16 button again.
5.8 Display lighting
If environmental light is insufficient for reading the display, you can
activate the backlighting for 10-second intervals by briefly pressing
the button. If you wish to deactivate backlighting before the end
of this pre-set time, press the button again.
