w Appears when the Tone function is activated {page 34}. e Appears when the DCS function is activated {page 73}. r Appears when the repeater shift function is activated {pages 31 ~ 34, 37}. t Appears when the Reverse function is activated {page 38}. y Appears when the Automatic Simplex Check (ASC) function is activated {page 38}. 14 u u Displays the frequencies, Menu settings, Memory name and other information. o Appears when the Weather Alert function is activated {page 55}. !0 Appears when narrow FM Mode is selected {page 91}. !1 Displays the Menu No., memory channel number, and status {pages 24, 41}. !2 Appears when the displayed memory channel has data {page 44}. !3 Appears when the Lock function is ON {page 88}. !4 Appears when the Memory Channel Lockout function is ON {page 67}. !5 Appears when the VOX function is ON {page 96}. !6 S-meter (RX) and remaining battery capacity indicator (TX). Confirm the remaining battery capacity when the transceiver transmits {page 83}. 15 !7 Appears when the function key is pressed. !8 appears when high power transmission is selected, appears when medium power is selected, and appears when low power is selected {page 95}. 16 BASIC OPERATION BASIC OPERATION 1 Press [ ] (POWER) briefly to switch the transceiver power ON. • A high pitched double beep sounds and a Power-ON message {page 92} appears briefly, followed by the frequency and other indicators. 2 To switch the transceiver OFF, press [ ] (POWER) again. • When you turn the transceiver OFF, a low pitched double beep sounds. • The transceiver stores the current frequency and parameters when it is turned OFF and recalls these parameters the next time you turn the transceiver ON. Adjusting the Volume Turn the VOL control clockwise to increase the audio output level and counterclockwise to decrease the output level. ENC. • If you are not receiving a signal, press and hold [MONI/SQL] to unmute the speaker, then adjust the VOL control to a comfortable audio output level. 17 Adjusting the Squelch Adjusting the Squelch The appropriate squelch level depends on the ambient RF noise conditions. 1 Press [F], [MONI/SQL]. • The current squelch level appears. 2 Turn the Tuning control to adjust the level. • Select the level at which the background noise is just eliminated when no signal is present. • The higher the level, the stronger the signals must be to receive. • 6 different levels can be set. (0: Minimum ~ 5: Maximum; 2 is the default value) 3 Press any key other than [LAMP], [MONI/SQL] to store the new setting and exit the squelch adjustment. 18 Transmitting 1 To transmit, hold the transceiver approximately 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, then press and hold [PTT] and speak into the microphone in your normal tone of voice. • The LED lights red and the 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 [PTT]. Note: If you continuously transmit for longer than the time specified in Menu No. 23 (default is 10 minutes) {page 94}, the internal time- out timer generates a warning beep and the transceiver stops transmitting. In this case, release [PTT] and let the transceiver cool down for a while, then press [PTT] again to resume transmission {page 116}. ¦ Selecting an Output Power Selecting a lower transmission power is the best way to reduce battery consumption, if communication is still reliable. You can configure different power levels for transmission {page 95}. Press [F], [PTT] to cycle between “ ” (high), “ ” (medium), and “ ” (low). 19 Selecting a Frequency ¦ VFO Mode This is the basic mode for changing the operating frequency. Turn the Tuning control clockwise to increase the frequency and counterclockwise to decrease 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 [F]. • The MHz digit blinks. 2 Turn the Tuning control to select the desired MHz value. 3 After selecting the desired MHz value, press [F] to exit the mode and return to normal VFO Mode. 4 Continue adjusting the frequency as necessary, using the Tuning control. 20 ¦ n In addition to turning the Tuning control, there is another way to select the frequency. When the desired frequency is far away from the current frequency, you can directly enter a frequency using the numeric keypad. 1 Press [VFO]. • You must be in the VFO Mode to make the direct frequency entry. 2 Press [#]. 3 Press the numeric keys ([0] to [9]) to enter your desired frequency. [] allows you to complete the MHz digits entry. • Pressing [#] fills all remaining digits (the digits you did not enter) with 0 and completes the entry. For example, to select 145.000 MHz, press [1], [4], [5] and press [#] to complete the entry. • If you want to revise the MHz digits only, leaving the kHz digits as they are, press [VFO] in place of [#]. Example 1 To enter 145.750...
