5 Operation 1 (Basics)

5-1 Adjusting the Volume . [VOL] appears on LCD when VOL key is pressed, volume level is displayed.

The initial value is 00 (minimum). The volume can be increased or decreased by rotating the dial. The maximum value is 20.

There are 21 steps from 00-20 in volume adjustment. The setting value can be kept even while the power is off. . When the volume point data is (00), the voice can not be heard. Press any key (except for FUNC, MONI key) to complete the setting. The LCD returns to the ordinal mode. When no operation is continued for 5 seconds, the setting is completed automatically. Then the LCD will return to the ordinal mode. Operation The volume increases as the setting value increases.

5-2 Adjusting the Squelch Press the SQL key, and "SQL" icon appears on the LCD. Then the squelch level is displayed. The initial setting value is 00 (minimum). The squelch level can be increased or decreased by rotating the dial. This value can be kept while the power is turned OFF. . There are 21 steps from 00-20 in the squelch level. . Press any key (except for FUNC and MONI keys) to complete the setting. Then the LCD returns to the ordinal mode. . When no operation is continued for 5 seconds, the setting is completed automatically. Then the LCD will return to the ordinal mode. OperationThe squelch will be opened with the strong signal when the high value is set.

5-3 Receiving

1. Turn the power SW ON.

2. Press the VOL key to increase the volume. Rotate the dial to set to the proper volume.

3. Press and hold the SQL key, and rotate the dial until the noise disappears.

4. Select the desired frequency. [BUSY] appears on the LCD as soon as the signal is received in the desired frequency. Then receiving voice is heard. At the same time green RX indicator lights up.

5-4 Transmitting

1. Select the desired frequency.

2. Press the PTT key, and the red TX indicator lights up to show the unit starts transmitting. While pressing PTT key, speak to the internal microphone on the front of the unit with your normal voice.

3. The transmission will be completed when the PTT key is released, then the unit returns to the receiving mode.

Note: Press and hold the PTT key, then press MONI key to transmit the tone burst. Note: If the PTT key is pressed outside the transmission frequency range, [OFF] will appear on the LCD and you can not transmit.

5-5 Frequency Selection

1. Each time the V/M key is pressed, the mode is switched between VFO mode and memory mode.

2. VFO mode is selected by V/M key [M] or [C] is not displayed on the LCD in the VFO mode.

[UP/DOWN with channel step]

1. Rotating the dial clockwise increases frequency 1 channel step/1 click, and rotating counterclockwise decreases the frequency 1 channel step/1 click.

[1MHz UP/DOWN]

1. Press the [F] key then rotate the dial while [F] icon is ON, the frequency increases or decreases by 1MHz depending on the direction of the rotation.

[Keypad Direct Entry] The frequency is set with the numerical keys of 0~9. Setting

1. Enter the 100MHz digit.

2. Enter the 10MHz digit.

3. Enter the 1MHz digit.

4. Enter the 100kHz digit.

5. Enter the 10kHz digit.

Depending on the channel step, entry may be required to the 1kHz digit or 10kHz digit.A confirmation tone sounds when the final digit is entered, then the setting has been completed. The entry method of each channel step is described as follows.

Channel step Entry completion digit Entry method of for the final digit ………………………………………………………………………………………….

5.0kHz 1kHz Enter up to 1kHz digit.

10.0kHz 10kHz Enter up to 10kHz digit.

12.5kHz 10kHz Enter 10kHz digit and 1kHz digit.

0…..00.0 1 …..12.5 2 …..25.0 3 …..37.5 4……invalid 5….50.0 6 …..62.5 7…..75.0 8……87.5 9 ……invalid

15.0kHz 1kHz Enter up to 1kHz digit. 25kHz 10kHz Enter 10kHz digit, and 1kHz digit is determined.

0…00.0 2 …..25.0 5 …..50.0 7 ……75.0 Others are invalid. 30kHz 10kHz Enter 10kHz digit, and 1kHz digit is determined. …………………………………………………………………………………………..

5-6 Channel Step

1. Press and hold the [F] key, then rotate the dial while [F] icon is ON. The frequency

increases or decreases by 1MHz depending on the direction of rotation. In VFO mode press and hold [F] key, then press 1/STEP key while [F] icon is ON,

and the current channel step will appear.

2. Rotate the dial, the channel step toggles as follows. ….. Downward…………………………….upward…………………………………… . …… ..STP- 5 …..STP-10…..STP-12.5 …..STP-15……STP-20……STP-25……STP-30….. …………………………………………………………………………………………… ..

3. Press any key (except for MONI and FUNC keys) to complete the setting. The LCD returns to the ordinal mode. Or press and hold the FUNC key, then press the 1/STEP key to complete the setting.

4. The Lamp and MONI keys are activate even while channel step appears on the LCD.

5. In the memory mode the channel step can not be selected. Note: When the step values are changed from 5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz or 30kHz to either 12.5kHz or 25kHz, or changed in reverse, the frequency and shift
