BASIC OPERATION
■ Selecting output power
The transceiver has 4 output power levels to suit your operat-
ing requirements. Low output powers during short-distance
communications may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations and will reduce current consumption.
➥ Push the desired band’s [ (MONI) LOW] for 2 sec. one or
more times to select the output power.
• Push [CHG/L] if [MONI (LOW)] is not displayed.
• The output power can be changed while transmitting.
The microphone can also be used to select output power.
q Push [BAND] to select the desired band.
w Push [ r HIGH] for high output power; [ t MID]
for mid-high output power; and [ y LOW] for low
output power.
• The output power CANNOT be changed via the mi-
crophone while transmitting.
■ One-touch PTT function
The PTT switch can be operated as a one-touch PTT switch
(each push toggles transmit/receive). Using this function you
can transmit without pushing and holding the PTT switch.
To prevent accidental, continuous transmissions with this
function, the transceiver has a time-out timer. See p. 63 for
details.

touch PTT function ON.

ceive.

a long beep sounds when returning to receive.
• “TX” flashes when transmitting with the one-touch
PTT function.

touch PTT function OFF.
