GETTING STARTED
SELECTING A CHANNEL
To select a channel, press SB2 side button until
you reach the desired channel. Voice
announcement will indicate the channel selected.
Each channel has its own Frequency,
Interference Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before
transmitting to avoid ‘talking over’ someone
who is already transmitting.
To monitor, long press and hold the SB1(*)
button to access channel traffic. If no activity is
present, you will hear ‘static’. To release, press
SB1 again. Once channel traffic has cleared,
proceed with your call by pressing the PTT
button. When transmitting, the LED Indicator will
be On solid red during transmission.
2 channels are active with factory default setting.
Refer to "Advanced Radio Configuration" on
Page 34 to active more channels. The radio can
