Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. The photo shows the 10-key version VHF transceiver. IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. PRECAUTIONS R CAUTION!NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. [. . . ] The tone signaling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you. q Select the desired TX code channel or 2-tone code according to your System Operator's instructions. · This may not be necessary depending on programming. · Refer to page 13 for selection. 3 w Push the call key (assigned to one of the dealer programmable keys: [Emer], [Side1], [Side2], [Side3], [P0], [P1], [P2] and [P3]) or [PTT]. e After transmitting a 2-tone code, the remainder of your communication can be carried out in the normal fashion. Selective calling Non-selective calling 11 3 BASIC OPERATION I Receiving and transmitting NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver. Receiving: q Rotate [VOL] to turn the power ON. w Push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the conventional system channel, in sequence. e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a comfortable listening level. Transmitting: Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference. q Push [Call] when initiating a call from your side. · Coded audio may be heard from the transceiver, then " " appears. · This operation may not be necessary depending on your signaling system. Ask your dealer for details. D Transmitting notes · Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions: - The channel is in mute condition (`Inaudible' condition; " " does not appear. ) - The channel is busy. - Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received. (Depending on the pre-setting. ) w While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal; 1. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. - The selected channel is a `receive only' channel. · Time-out timer After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting. · Penalty timer Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer. 12 BASIC OPERATION 3 D TX code channel selection If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] assigned to it, the indication can be toggled between the operating channel number (or name) and TX code channel number (or name). When the TX code channel number (or name) is displayed, [CH Up] or [CH Down] selects the TX code channel. USING [TX CODE CH SELECT] KEY: q Push [TX Code CH Select]-- a TX code channel number (or name) appears. w Push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the desired TX code channel. · Push [TX Code CH Select] again to return to the operating channel number indication. D DTMF transmission If the transceiver has [DTMF Autodial] assigned to it, the automatic DTMF transmission function is available. TO SELECT A TX CODE: q Push [DTMF Autodial]-- a DTMF channel appears. w Push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the desired DTMF channel. e Push [DTMF Autodial] to transmit the DTMF code in the selected DTMF channel. 3 e Push [Call] to transmit the selected TX code.
