GETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED READING THE DISPLAY Keypad Lock For the following explanations refer to "Parts of the radio" on page page 12. Vox / iVox Scan Signal Strength TURNING RADIO ON/OFF Battery Level Turn the On/Off/Volume knob clockwise to turn ON the radio. The radio will chirp and the LED will briefly blink a red light. To turn the radio OFF rotate the On/Off/Volume knob counterclockwise until you hear a ‘click’ and the radio LED indicator turn OFF.
SELECTING A CHANNEL Program each channel separately. Each channel has its own Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scan Settings. Note: (*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed for a different mode. RECEIVING A CALL 1. For monitoring press and hold the SB1(*) button to access channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear ‘static’. Press again SB1 to release. Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the PTT button.
GETTING STARTED Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy Indicators TALK RANGE TALK RANGE When there is activity on a frequency the radio displays the strength indicator icon while radio LED blinks faster. When there is activity on the same frequency and code as your radio (your radio is receiving), the radio signal strength icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6 (strongest) depending on the radio reception coverage. This can help determine when a radio is moving out of range.

Short press the SB1 button while turning ON the radio to enable/disable End of Transmission Tone. Note: This setting is set to OFF by default Keypad Beeps Keypad Beeps can be enabled/disabled by short pressing SB2 button (until radio ‘chirps’) while turning ON the radio. Keypad Lock/Unlock You can lock the keypad to avoid accidentally changing your radio settings.
GETTING STARTED Setting VOX / iVOX sensitivity The VOX/iVOX sensitivity can be adjusted via the MENU as well as the CPS. To modify via the MENU, first make sure you have enabled either VOX or iVOX (See “Hands-Free Use/ VOX” on page 37.). Once VOX/iVOX has been enabled, short press MENU.
Battery Type Menu GETTING STARTED Only if the battery pack is not detected, the radio will allow changes to the battery type setting from either Lithium-Ion or Alkaline.To change the setting, press the MENU button as many times as needed until the radio blinks the current battery type (either ‘LITHIUM’ or ‘ALKALINE’). A full battery icon will be shown as follows: Use the / buttons to choose either ‘LITHIUM’ or ‘ALKALINE’.
PROGRAMMING FEATURES You can scroll up/down to select the different channels by pressing the / buttons. PROGRAMMING FEATURES ENTERING PROGRAMMING MODE To enter ‘Programming Mode’, press and hold both the PTT button and the SB1 button simultaneously for three seconds, while turning ON the radio. A unique tone will sound, indicating that the radio has entered ’Programming Mode’ and the radio LED will signal a green heartbeat.
• • Whenever the radio wrap around to the beginning of the Programming Mode options the changes will be automatically saved, even if you turn OFF the radio. You can exit any Programming Mode without saving changes (as long as the radio has not return to the beginning) by turning the radio OFF. PROGRAMMING RX (RECEPTION) FREQUENCIES Once you have chosen the channel you want to program, short press the PTT button or MENU to scroll through the options until you reach ‘Frequency Programming Mode’.
PROGRAMMING FEATURES English PROGRAMMING RX (RECEPTION) CODES (CTCSS/DPL) PROGRAMMING RX (RECEPTION) BANDWIDTH Once you have chosen the channel you want to program, short press the PTT button or MENU to scroll through the options until you reach the ‘Code Programming Mode’. Some frequencies have selectable channel spacing, which must match other radios for optimum audio quality.
To program the desired bandwidth (HI = 25 kHz, LOW = 12.5 kHz), use the / buttons until to select the value. Long press the PTT button to exit and save or short press the PTT button to move to the next programming feature without saving. Note: If the value of the bandwidth cannot be changed, the display setting remains solid. The scramble feature makes your transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the same scramble code.
PROGRAMMING MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CHANNELS PROGRAMMING FEATURES You can configure the maximum number of channels for the radio. Once you have entered ’Programming Mode’ scroll up/down by short pressing the PTT button until you reach the ‘Max Channel Programming Mode’:. MAX CH The radio display will blink the current maximum number of channels programmed. To program the maximum number of channels use the / buttons until you locate the desired setting.

If you're in the first character, the radio will give you a bonk tone. Whenever you press button B and the cursor is positioned in a valid character, the button B will delete the current character and replace it with a blank space.
NUISANCE CHANNEL DELETE PROGRAMMING FEATURES Nuisance Channel Delete allows you to temporarily remove channels from the ‘Scan List’. This feature is useful when irrelevant conversations on a ‘nuisance’ channel tie up your radio's scanning features. To delete a channel from the scan list: English • Start ‘Scan Mode’ by short pressing the SB2 button (*) 52 • Wait until the radio stops on the channel you wish to eliminate, then long press the SB2 button to delete it.

TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Try This... Recharge or replace the Li-Ion battery. No Power Reposition or replace AA batteries. Extreme operating temperatures may affect battery life. Refer to See “About the Li-Ion Battery” on page 16. Confirm Interference Eliminator Code is set. Hearing other noises or conversation on a channel Frequency or Interference Eliminator Code may be in use. Change settings: either change frequencies or codes on all radios.
Symptom Try This... Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission. Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range. Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can either Limited talk range reduce obstructions, increase power, or use UHF radio instead of VHF radio. UHF radios provide greater coverage in industrial and commercial buildings.
Symptom Try This... Radios are too close; they must be at least five feet apart. Heavy static or interference Radios are too far apart or obstacles are interfering with transmission. Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” on page 33. Recharge or replace Li-Ion battery. Replace AA batteries. Low batteries Extreme operating temperatures affect battery life. Refer to “About the Li-Ion Battery” on page 16.
Symptom Try This... VOX feature might be set to OFF. Cannot activate VOX Use the CPS to ensure that the VOX Sensitivity level is not set to ‘0’. Accessory not working or not compatible. Refer to “Hands-Free Use/VOX” section on page 37. Check drop-in tray charger is properly connected and correspond to a compatible power supply.
