Receiving and transmitting
NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the trans-
ceiver. See p.4 for antenna attachment.
Turn power ON as described on p. 2.
Receiving:
q Select a desired channel.
w Listen for a transmission and adjust [VOL] to a comfortable lis-
tening level.
• When no transmission is heard, push and hold [Moni] (moni-
tor) while adjusting [VOL] (your transceiver may not be pro-
grammed with the monitor function).
The transceiver is now set to receive desired calls on the selected
channel.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
e While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a
normal voice level.
• When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure de-
scribed at right may be necessary.
r Release [PTT] to return to receive.
IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your transmitted sig-
nal, pause a few sec. after pushing [PTT], hold the microphone 10
to 15 cm from your mouth and speak at a normal voice level.

Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and
DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice trans-
mission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling
system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent
unwanted stations from contacting you.
q Select the desired Tx code channel or 5-tone code according to
your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
w Push the call switch (assigned to one of the dealer programma-
ble switches: [Upper] and [Lower], etc.).
e After transmitting a 5-tone code, the remainder of your commu-
nication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
