Operations
Power on/o and volume adjustment
To turn the radio on, keep pressed the Power on button.
To adjust the volume level as you prefer, press the Volume button +/-.
In case the radio does not pick up any signal, activate momentarily the Monitor
function that allows to detect also weak signals. Then, adjust the volume to the de-
sired level.
To turn the radio o, keep pressed the Power on button until a switch o tone is
heard.
Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
The radio comes with 16 PMR446 channels: 8 + 8 pre-set. CTCSS tones and DCS
codes cannot be set on channels 1-8 , only to channels 9-16.
Rotate the knob for the channel selection.
Keep pressed the Volume button - to enable the Monitor feature in order to make
sure that the frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.
Release the PTT key to receive.
Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is important
not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and use the transmission mode
sparingly to allow other users to talk.
Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and should therefore be used
sparingly to prolong the battery life.
If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving, the station
may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.
Monitor
The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch, in order to listen to
signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently opened.
Hold down the Volume button - to enable such function.
