BEFORE YOU CAN TALK

Ensure you read this manual carefully

Channels And Codes

Your radio has 8 channels, 121 Interference Eliminator codes (IE
codes – 38 Tone PL Codes and 83 Digital PL Codes – see inside cover
for details) and 3 Voice Scrambling codes (VS codes). It is always
possible to be overheard or to have interference from others whilst
using your radio, but the large number of channel/code combinations
available help to reduce this.
Note: If you are in a group and you wish to talk to each other, all
radios must be set to the same channel, IE code and VS code. If
you experience interference and need to change channels and
codes, ensure that you change the settings of all radios in your
group. See k below.

How To Turn Your Radio On And Off

1. Turn the P knob clockwise until a click is heard and adjust the
1
volume to a comfortable level. The LED will flash red, the display
2
will briefly show all LCD segments and an audible alert will be
A
heard (unless the Alert tones are disabled).
2. To turn your radio off, turn the P knob anti-clockwise until a click
is heard.
3. The LED on the top left of the radio flashes every three seconds
when the radio is on.
Caution: Do not hold the radio, or an audio accessory, too close to
your ear when the volume is at a high setting. This could
damage your hearing.

Monitor And Signal Strength Indicator

It is good radio etiquette to monitor the channel for activity before you
transmit, to ensure that you do not interrupt other users already on
the channel.

8
the front of the radio starts to flash once per second.
2. The p icon has a number below it, which shows the strength of
any incoming signal from 0 (weakest) to 6 (strongest). You will hear
static if the channel is clear to use.

How To Speak To Another Person

2. To maximize clarity, hold radio 5.0 to 7.5cms from your mouth.
