NOTE
Whenever transmitting (i.e., PTT key depressed), hold the front of the radio between 1 to 2 inches from your
mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. This will ensure optimal reception at the
receiving radio unit(s). Never shout or whisper when transmitting. As illustrated on page 3, the radio’s
microphone is located near the top of the radio.
Each digital channel may be pre-programmed with a preset contact by your dealer. The preset contact can be
a Private Call contact, a Group Call contact, or an All Call contact.
Receiving and Responding to a Private Call
When a private call is received, listen to the call and adjust the volume as necessary. To respond to the call, hold down the
PTT key within the preset time period, and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. GROUP CALLS
A group call is a call initiated by a radio user to a group of radio users.

TALK-AROUND (DIRECT MODE)
The talk-around feature provides direct radio-to-radio communications. With talk-around, a radio repeater system is not
required for radio communications. This type of operation is sometimes called “direct mode.” Talk-around is beneficial
when, for example, a radio repeater system malfunction has occurred, or when the radio is out-of-range of a radio repeater
system, but other radios are nearby that can communicate on the same pre-programmed radio channels.
To toggle radio operation between normal communications mode (repeater mode) and talk-around, press the pre-configured
Talk-Around shortcut key.
CALLS ON ANALOG CHANNELS
Transmitting a Call on an Analog Channel
1. If not already, select the desired analog channel.
2. Listen for a clear channel. In other words, if another person is using the channel, wait for them to finish
transmitting/speaking. If pre-programmed, a monitor or squelch off shortcut key should be used to verify the channel is
clear. See the following sections for additional information on these functions.
3. Hold down the radio’s PTT key and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
4. Release the PTT key to stop transmitting and listen for a reply.
Receiving a Call on an Analog Channel
1. If not already, select the desired analog channel. Do not
press the PTT key.
2. When an incoming call is received on the channel, rotate the On/Off Volume Control knob as necessary to adjust the
volume.
Page 8 Quick Guide
If programmed, a Monitor, Monitor Momentary, Squelch Off and/or Squelch Off Momentary shortcut key can
be used to verify there is no signal on the channel. Also, the Squelch Off shortcut key can be used in weak signal
conditions.
Monitor
Monitor is a function for analog channels that allows any pre-programmed receiver decoding to be disabled so calls (or
other activity) on the selected channel without the correct code can be monitored.
This does not disable receiver squelch. When the Monitor function is enabled, any calls on the channel will be heard in the
radio’s speaker.
To enable and disable the Monitor function, press the pre-programmed Monitor shortcut key, or the Monitor Momentary
shortcut key. The Monitor shortcut key provides a toggle on/off type function, whereas the Monitor Momentary shortcut
key temporarily enables the function only while the shortcut key is depressed.
Squelch Off
Squelch Off is an analog channel function that, when enabled, keeps the receiver unsquelched (i.e., not muted) even when
there is no signal on the selected channel. When enabled, call audio on the channel (or receiver noise) is routed to the
radio’s speaker.
To toggle squelch between enabled and disabled, press the pre-configured Squelch Off shortcut key.
To momentarily turn squelch off, depress the pre-configured Squelch Off Momentary key. When this key is released,
squelch turns back on.
Adjust Squelch Level
If programmed, the Adjust Squelch Level shortcut key can be used to select one of three receiver squelch levels: Tight,
Normal, and Open. The default squelch level is Normal, which is often used in a low radio frequency noise environment.
Generally, the Tight level should be used in a high radio frequency noise environment; it requires a stronger received radio
signal to unmute the receiver. Using Open will keep the speaker unmuted, regardless of the noise level or the decode
settings.
When switching from Tight to Open, a low-pitched tone sounds and received noise or call audio is heard from the speaker.
When switching from Open to Normal, a high-pitched tone sounds and the background sounds disappear. When switching
from Normal to Tight, a high-pitched tone announces.

BATTERY STRENGTH INDICATOR
If the Battery Strength Indicator shortcut key is preprogrammed, this function can be used to quickly check the
remaining battery strength via the LED indicator on the top
of the radio. Press and hold this pre-programmed shortcut
key and view the LED indicator on the top of the radio.
TRANSMIT POWER LEVEL
With this feature, the radio’s transmit power level can be
quickly changed between a low and a high power level. Use

the low power level whenever possible to increase battery
operating time and to reduce the possibility of radio communications interference. However, if communications with other
radios is not possible on the currently selected channel at the low power level, select and use the high power level.
Press the programmed Adjust Power Level shortcut key to toggle between the low and high power levels. When
switching to the high power level, a high-pitched tone sounds. When switching the low power level, a low-pitched tone
sounds.
SCANNING CHANNELS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The radio’s scan feature allows scanning of radio channels pre-programmed into the radio for call activity. Scan lists can be
pre-programmed for each channel. Each scan list may contain 32 digital or analog channels. When the radio is scanning
channels:
• The LED indicator on the top of the radio flashes orange slowly.
• The radio scans the channels currently on the scan list for calls (or other activity).
• When a call (or other activity) is received/detected on a channel in the scan list:
o The call’s audio is routed to the radio’s speaker.
o The LED indicator glows green.
o The radio remains on the channel (i.e., scan operation automatically pauses) until the call (or other activity) ends.
Page 10 Quick Guide
OPERATION
Turning Scan On and Off
Scan can be turned on and off by pressing the Scan shortcut key. When scan turns on, a high-pitched tone sounds.
The radio can be pre-programmed with the Auto Scan feature on a per-channel basis. If so, the radio will automatically
begin scanning the channel’s scan list when the channel is selected. In this case, to turn scan off, press the Scan shortcut
key once.
Pausing Scan
If a call is received on an analog channel and staying on the channel (i.e., pausing scan) is desired so additional
transmissions can be heard on it, press the pre-programmed Monitor or Squelch Off shortcut key when a call is on the
channel. When the Monitor function is on, if present, call audio on the channel is heard in the radio’s speaker. When the
Squelch Off function is on or when a call is on the channel, call audio on the channel (or receiver noise) is heard in the
radio’s speaker. Press the shortcut key again or the Scan shortcut key to unpause scan.
Nuisance Temporary Delete
To temporarily remove a channel from a channel’s scan list so calls on it will not pause scanning, press the pre-programmed
Nuisance Temporary Delete shortcut key when a call is on the channel. In this case, the channel will not be scanned
again until after the channel or zone is changed, the radio is power-cycled, or scan is turned off and back on.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
The radio’s emergency feature can be used to summon help from another radio operator(s) and/or via a radio
dispatch/control center. The emergency process has the highest call priority throughout the radio communications system.
Emergency operations can be performed when the radio is transmitting or receiving. The radio can be programmed with
different emergency modes, emergency types, and emergency ID types. Each channel can be programmed with different
emergency system operation. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for detailed information. Also consult your radio dealer for
specific information on how your radio is programmed.
