GETTING STARTED
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
Turn the On-Off/Volume knob clockwise to
increase the volume or counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.
SELECTING A MODE
Up to 16 modes can be programmed into your
radio.
A mode is a conventional channel or trunked
talkgroup and all the features that are
programmed to it.
Use the Mode Selector knob to select the
appropriate trunked talkgroup or conventional
channel.
SENDING A TRUNKED CALL
• If you hear a busy signal (a low-frequency
“bah-bah-bah-bah”), release the PTT but-
ton and wait for a call-back tone (sounds
like “di-di-dit”). When you hear the call-
back tone you will have three seconds to
press the PTT button. This allows you to
make another call without getting a busy
signal.
• If a continuous talk-prohibit tone is heard
when the PTT button is pressed, transmis-
sion is not possible. The radio may be out
of range.
SENDING A CONVENTIONAL CALL

Press and hold the PTT button on the side
of the radio and speak slowly and clearly
into the microphone area. The red LED

button to listen.
