5 seconds after pressing the I F I key. CAUTION:- You must press the 2nd function while the F indicator is lit, or the radio will perform the function printed on the key, rather than the function printed above it. • M: Memory key The m key is used to select the desired memory channel. The operation is similar to that of the F i key, in that, the M indicator will illuminate for 5 seconds in the LCD display. CAUTION:- The memory channel must be selected within 5 seconds of pressing the IM | key. • ENTER key The enter key is used to enter a frequency selected by the numeric keys. • SCAN key The I SCAN | key is used to start or stop the scan function. • PRIORITY CHANNEL CHECK key: [EJ then 1/PRIO These keys are used to monitor whether the priority channel (CH 1) is busy or not. When this function is activated, the radio will switch to CH 1 approximately once every 10 seconds. To cancel this function, press these keys again. 9 • BEEP key: ¡EJ then 2/BEEP Each time these keys are pressed, the audio annunciator will be turned ON or OFF alternately. • (FREQUENCY) STEP key: ED then 3/STEP Each time these keys are pressed, the frequency scanning step size will be increased 5 kHz. Several different scan function keys and scan stop keys are provided. • BAND SCAN key: F then 4/BAND • MEMORY SCAN key: ED then 5/MEMORY • PROGRAMMABLE BAND SCAN key: ED then 6/PROGRAM • SEEK OPERATED SCAN key: ED then 7/SEEK • TIME OPERATED SCAN key: ED then 8/TIME • CARRIER OPERATED SCAN key: ED then 9/CARRIER For additional information on this function refer to page 14. • TX. STOP key: ED then M/TX. STOP Pressing these keys will prevent accidental transmission. To cancell this function, press these keys again. • KEY LOCK key: TD then ENTER/KEY LOCK Depress these keys and the frequency and other settings will remain unchanged by keyboard operation except the LAMP key. To cancel this function, press these keys again. • FAST [JD key: CE□ then T/FAST • FAST 1.4 key: l_E_J then A/FAST 10 OPERATION ■ RECEIVE After power and antenna connections have been completed, set the switches as follows: 1. Turn the VOL control clockwise to turn on power. The frequency on the LCD display will show the transceiver is operating. 2. As the VOL control is turned clockwise, either background noise or a QSO will be heard. 3. To eliminate the no-signal noise turn the SQL control clockwise. 4. Enter the desired frequency. ■ TRANSMIT Precaution: Check the intended transmit frequency before operating to prevent interference with other stations. If you are using T. SQ (Tone Squelch) press the MONITOR key to allow the Squelch to open. 1. Simply depress the PTT switch and the on air indicator will light. 2. Speak into the microphone. Recommended distance to the microphone is approximately 2 inches (5 cm). CAUTION:- Long transmission or extended operation in the 5 watt mode might cause the rear of this transceiver to get warm. Do not place the transceiver where the heat sink (rear panel) might come in contact with plastic or vinyl surfaces. ■ FREQUENCY SELECTIONS Two different methods are provided for frequency selection. • UP/DOWN key frequency selection 1 Pressing either the or the 7 key momentarily will cause the displayed frequency to change 1 step up or down, respectively. The step size is selected by pressing the and the 3/STEP key from 5 step sizes (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 kHz). 1 step up A^N,\. 1 step down ▼ 2 Pressing the LaJ or the ▼ key for more than 1 second will cause the frequency to change up or down continuously until the key is released. 3 Pressing the IE followed by holding the _A_. or the [ ▼ | key will cause the frequency to change quite rapidly. Rapidly up Rapidly down th«. 2^ .hen Repeating this operation shifts the displayed frequency as shown below. r Up by selected step-j j— Down by selected step Lower Limit Upper Limit Lower Limit Upper Limit t_I I_t • Direct keyboard frequency entry Press the enter j key. U.S.A. version - fPRlOl /____ | •15 i BAND 1 j 1 1 SEEK 1 1 - Other version Enter the frequency to the nearest kHz. For example U.S.A. version H I, CO , CO , GO , CO Other version CO , CO , CO , CO The receiver will not change frequency until all digits have been entered. If you should make an error before entering all digits, press the enter key twice, and reenter all digits. 11 ■ REPEATER OPERATION • Transmitter offsets All amateur radio repeaters utilize a separate receiver and transmitter section. The receiver frequency may be either above or below the transmitter frequency. The transceiver allows you to store the frequency and offset in memory, or you can select the offset and offset frequency from the keyboard. Offset direction To select the desired offset, press the OFFSET/F key. Each time you press the key the radio will advance from one offset to the other, i.e. " + " to " — " to no offset or simplex. Offset frequency selection To select the desired...
