BASIC OPERATION DDTurning ON the transceiver NOTE: Before using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. See the BATTERY CHARGING section of this sheet. Rotate [VOL] to turn ON the transceiver. DDReceiving and Transmitting Receiving: 1. S elect a channel. LLRotate [Rotary Encoder] or push [Up] or [Down], depending on the presetting. 2. When receiving a call, rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio output level to a comfortable listening level. Transmitting: CAUTION: Attach an antenna before transmitting. Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver. 1. Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference. 2. W hile holding down [PTT], speak at your normal voice level. 3. Release [PTT] to receive. IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal: 1. After pushing [PTT], pause briefly before you start speaking. 2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, then speak at your normal voice level. BATTERY CHARGING NOTE: Before detaching or attaching a battery pack, BE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver by rotating [VOL] fully counter clockwise, until it makes a "click" sound.
