3 GETTING ACQUAINTED

TRANSMITTING

1 To transmit, hold the transceiver approximately

5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, then press and

hold the PTT switch and speak into the

microphone in your normal tone of voice.

• The status LED on the top panel lights red and

bar-graph meter appears.

• If you press [PTT] while you are outside of the

transmission coverage, a high pitched error

beep sounds.

2 When you finish speaking, release the PTT switch.

Note: If you transmit continuously for more than 10 minutes, the

internal time-out timer generates a warning beep and the transceiver

stops transmitting. In this case, release the PTT switch and let the

transceiver cool down for a while, then press the PTT switch again to

resume transmitting {pages 40, 51}.

■ Selecting Output Power

Selecting lower transmission power is the best

way to reduce the battery consumption, if

communication is still reliable. You can configure

different power levels for transmission {page 41}.

Press [LOW].

• Each time you press [LOW], the indicator

cycles between “H” (high), “L” (low), and “EL”

(economic low).

Note:

◆

You can store different output power setting for the A and B-

band.

◆

When you change the output power, it is reflected to all

available amateur bands for A or B-band.

SELECTING A FREQUENCY

■ VFO Mode

This is the basic mode for changing the operating

frequency. Turn the Tuning control clockwise to

increase the frequency. Turn the Tuning control

counterclockwise to decrease the frequency. Or,

press [ ]/ [ ] to change the frequency.

■ MHz Mode

If the desired operating frequency is far away from

the current frequency, it is quicker to use the MHz

tuning mode.

To adjust the MHz digit:

1 Press [MHz].

• A MHz digit blinks.

2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to

select the desired MHz digit.

3 After selecting the desired MHz digit, press

[MHz] to exit the mode and return to normal

VFO mode {above}.

4 You may further adjust the frequency using the

Tuning control or [ ]/ [ ].

Note: MHz mode does not function in AM band.

■ Direct Frequency Entry

In addition to turn the Tuning control or press

[ ]/ [ ], there is another way of selecting the

frequency. When the desired frequency is far

away from the current frequency, you can directly

enter a frequency from the numeric keypad.

1 Press [VFO].

• You must be in the VFO mode to make the

direct frequency entry.

2 Press [ENT].

• “– – – – – –” appears.

3 Press the numeric keys ([0] to [9]) to enter

your desired frequency. [MHz] can be used to

complete the MHz digits entry.

• Pressing [ENT] fills the remaining digits (the

digits you did not enter) with 0 and

completes the entry.

• To select 145.000 MHz for example, press

[1], [4], [5] then press [ENT] to complete

the entry.

• If you want to revise the MHz digits only,

press [VFO] in place of [ENT].
