Channel Input by Keypad

In Frequency + Channel or Channel + Name Tag mode, you may select the channel by entering three

channel digits (000-199). If the entered channel has not been preprogrammed, a beep sounds to alert you

that input is wrong and then return to current channel.

NOTE: This product operates in accordance with legally assigned frequnecy only. In the FM receiver mode,
the frequency step size input by numeric keys is 50KHz.

In case the receiving signal is weak and the audio is intermittently cut off by the squelch, press and hold

[PF2] key. As long as this key is pressed, the squelch including TSQ/DCS unmutes making the audio

easier to hear.

When a signal is received, the LED lights will light up, the main channel receives indicator a green, (Sub-

channel receives indicator blue and the TDR Mark will flash following), and you can hear the received call.

Example: To enter 435.0125, press [4][3][5][0][1][2] then 5 appears and sets automatically. To enter 435.100,

press [4][3][5][1][0][0]. By pressing the last [0], a dot appears after the MHz unit and

the frequency is set. When an invalid numbers are entered, the display will return to

the current state and an error beep sounds.
