Operation
Note: You can only communicate with
another transceiver that is using the
same channel and/or the same CTCSS
code as your transceiver.
1. Turn VOLUME clockwise to turn on
the transceiver, turn SQUELCH fully
counterclockwise until you hear a
hissing sound, then adjust the vol-
ume to a comfortable listening level.
2. If you did not set the transceiver to
use a CTCSS code, wait until there
is no signal on the channel. Then
turn SQUELCH clockwise until the
background noise between signals
stops.

3. To conserve battery power, slide
HI/LO to LO. If the person you
transmit to has trouble receiving
your signal, slide HI/LO to HI.
4. To transmit, hold down PUSH TO
TALK. Then hold the transceiver
about 3 inches from your mouth
and speak slowly in a normal
voice. The RX/TX indicator lights
red.
5. Release PUSH TO TALK when
you finish your transmission.
6. To turn off the transceiver, turn
VOLUME counterclockwise until it
clicks.
