channel.
• In Voting, Voting with Signaling, and Free Channel Call, the
channel is selected automatically.
3 In Conventional groups, press the key programmed as
Monitor or Squelch Off to check whether or not the
channel is free.
• If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free.

Release the PTT switch to receive.
• For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the
microphone approximately 3 ~ cm (.5 inches) from your

• In Voting and Voting with Signaling, the transceiver will search
for the closest repeater and transmit using that repeater’s
frequency.

channel and will begin transmitting on that channel.
Note: When the battery pack voltage becomes too low, transmission
will stop and an alert tone will sound.
