Basic operation

Turning on/off

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. Subse-
quently you will hear 2 beeps of different tones.
To turn off 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
power (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 chan-
nel;
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
normally, 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
display;
5. When the radio is in reception mode (PTT not pressed) you will auto-
matically receive any communication (RX displayed).
During transmission and reception try, as far as possible, to keep the an-
tenna in vertical position and to avoid obstacles towards the direction of
the other party.
