Communicating
Switching the radio ON/OFF & adjusting the volume
To switch the radio ON, rotate the On/Off/Volume control
clockwise. The radio will ‘click’ ON, emit a confirmation tone
sequence and announce the channel number.
The volume will increase as you rotate the On/Off/Volume control
clockwise. Rotating the control anti-clockwise will decrease the
volume.
To switch the radio OFF, rotate the On/Off/Volume control
anti-clockwise until the radio ‘clicks’ off.
Note: Exercise caution when adjusting the volume to avoid
damage to your hearing.
Selecting a channel
To select a channel, rotate the Channel Selector Knob until you
reach the required channel. A voice announces the selected
channel (if channel annunciation is enabled). All radios wishing to
communicate must use the same channel.
Talking
1. Switch on your radio. Adjust the volume and select the
required channel.
2. Monitor the channel for activity.
3. To send a message, hold the radio upright, approximately
5-10cm from your mouth. Press and hold the PTT button and
speak slowly and clearly into the microphone. Release the
PTT when you have finished your message.
4. Await a response to your message and then proceed on a
‘take-turns’ basis (only one user can talk at a time).
5. It is good radio etiquette to end each message with ‘over’ and
to end the entire communication with ‘out’.
