Communication System Display
Under normal operation the channel and the code is displayed. If PTT is pressed, then TX with the channel
number is displayed. If mode is pressed, the channel number is displayed and can be changed by hitting the
UP or DOWN arrow keys.
Setting up your Communication System:
The communication system will be initialized when the ignition is turned to the “on” position. The right
side of the display will show the last channel that was selected. On the left side of the display, there will be
a bar graph indicating the rider’s volume level.
Adjusting the Rider’s Volume:
Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the rider’s volume level to the desired level. The volume level is
displayed on the LCD in numeric levels of 0 to 30, with 0 being off and 30 is the maximum volume.
Channel Selection:
From the rest state of the radio press the Mode button once; the word CHANNEL will appear under the
channel number in the display. Use the UP or DOWN button to select the desired channel. Your radio has
15 channels from which to choose.
Interference Elimination Code Selection:
The INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION CODE (a.k.a. Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System: CTCSS)
prevents radios that use different codes from being heard on your communication system. These codes do
not make your conversation private. When the code is set at “0”, you will be able to hear all transmissions
on the selected channel. You will only be able to transmit to other riders using the same channel and code
“0”.
To Select the Interference Elimination Code:
From the rest state of the radio press the Mode button twice; the word CODE will appear under the number
in the display. Use the UP or DOWN button to select the desired interference elimination code. Your radio
has 38 codes available; these codes correspond with those used on handheld GMRS radios.
Note: For optimal performance it is important to have everyone within the riding group set their systems to
the same CHANNEL and INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION CODE.
Adjusting the Passenger’s Volume:
From the rest state of the radio, press the Mode button three times. F/R will be shown on the display. Use
the UP or DOWN button to adjust the passenger’s volume level to the desired level. The volume selected
for the passenger is based on the rider’s selected volume level. If the rider has their volume at a low
volume, the passenger’s audio can be equal to, higher or lower than the rider’s selected volume level. When
making adjustments to the passenger’s volume, the left side of the display shows a number between –9 and
9 indicating the volume level. More bars indicate a higher volume level. At 0 the passenger and the rider’s
headset volumes are equal. The level of 9 will have the passenger’s volume much louder than the driver’s
while –9 volume is much lower.
