(PTT) button on the Earphone/Microphone Assembly allows you to control
all of the features of the PowerCom. It’s recommended that you take a few
minutes and learn how to use the voice menu and all of the features.

button down on the third press for around one second. The PowerCom
will now enter an adjustment mode. You will hear a voice saying “Channel,
Volume, Squelch, Transmit, Scrambler” This message will repeat a second
time and exit if no selection is made. To select an option, press the PTT
button once when you hear the setting you want to change. This will prompt
a sub-menu that will read additional choices. A table of the complete menu
is provided. Depress the PTT button again whenever you hear the option
you want. Once a change has been made, the unit will repeat your choice
then exit.

the PTT control three times holding the third push for approximately one
second, then release the PTT button. The Voice Menu will start reading

at a MEDIUM volume, you would depress when you hear “Receive”. If you

hear “Side” you would depress the button. At this point once you make a
selection from “Side” or “Receive”, the unit gives you the option to choose
Volume settings (i.e. Low, Medium, High, Extra High). Once the selection
is made, the Powercom unit will read back a confrimation of the changed
setting then exit.
