Before transmitting, monitor the operating fre-
quency to make sure transmitting won’t cause
interference to other stations on the same fre-
quency.
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may
damage the transceiver.
You can transmit on only the 144 MHz and 430 MHz
bands.
Set the operating frequency. (p. 2-11) q
Touch the Power icon. w
Opens the output power level setting window.
Touch the transmit output power level. e
Select a level to suit your operating requirements.
In the Dualwatch mode, “H” indicates high power, “M”
indicates mid power and “L” indicates low power.
Hold down [PTT] to transmit, and speak at your nor- r
mal voice level.
• The transmit LED lights red while transmitting.
• The S/RF meter displays the output power level.
Release [PTT] to receive. t

DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth
or speak loudly. This may distort your speech.

NOTE:
• If the MAIN band frequency is a multiple of the SUB
band frequency, you might receive a very small
signal on the SUB band when you transmit. This is
not a defect, but can occur naturally with the inter-
relationship between the fundamental and multiple
frequencies.
Example:
MAIN band frequency: 144.200 MHz
SUB band frequency: 432.600 MHz
• The readability of your transmitted signal maybe re-
duced because audio from the SUB band may be
picked up by your microphone when you transmit.
If this occurs, reduce the AF volume level on the
SUB band.
