SELECTING A BAND
Press [BAND] to select the VHF or UHF band.
Note: If in Memory Recall mode {page 6}, press [VFO], then press
[BAND] to select a band.
SELECTING FREQUENCIES
Turn the Tuning control clockwise to increase the
frequency or counterclockwise to decrease the
frequency.
• To change frequencies in steps of 1 MHz, press [MHz] first.
1 MHz digit blinks. Pressing [MHz] again cancels this
function.
• If you cannot select a particular frequency, the frequency
step size needs to be changed. See “CHANGING
FREQUENCY STEP SIZE” {page 40}.
• You can also select frequencies with the numeric keys. See
“KEYPAD DIRECT ENTRY” {page 40}.
TRANSMITTING
1 When ready to begin transmitting, press and hold the
PTT switch and speak in a normal tone of voice.
• The On Air lamp lights red and the battery meter
appears.
• Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly,
may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your
signal at the receiving station.
• The battery meter shows the current relative battery
charge.
2 When you finish speaking, release the PTT switch.
Time-Out Timer: Holding down the PTT switch for more than
10 minutes causes the transceiver to generate a beep and stop
transmitting. Release, then press the PTT switch to resume transmitting.
You cannot switch this function OFF.
n Selecting Output Power
Press [LOW] to select high (default), low, or
economic low power (lowest).
• “HI”, “LO”, or “EL” appears to show the current selection.
Note: Selecting lower transmit power is a wise method to reduce
battery consumption if communication is still reliable.
