4. Receiving/transmitting messages
The device is in the "Reception" mode when lit up, i.e. it is ready to receive a call or voice transmitted on the
chosen frequency.
. When you press the Call button (12), the device switches to the "Transmission" mode, enabling you to transmit
a voice signal to the other device.
To send a voice message, press the TALK button (15) and speak into the microphone (10). Do not release the button
until you have finished transmitting your message.
Hold the microphone at least 5 cm from your mouth.
Note:
- The same channel and CTCSS code must be set on the other device (see point 7).
When the transmission is complete and the TALK button (15) is released, the other device will emit a sound (beep)
to indicate that this device is ready to transmit.
5. Changing channels

. Press the TALK button (15) to confirm and return to standby mode.
Note: If no button is pressed within 15 seconds during the setting, the device will return to standby mode.
6. CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System)
License-free radio operates on the 400~470 MHz frequency band. Like the Twintalker, it has 8/20/22 available radio
channels. If there are many radio users in your neighborhood, there is a chance that some of them use the same
radio channel.
It has integrated sub-channels that prevent the reception of signals from other users.
Communication between two radios is only possible when
they use the same radio channel and when the same sub-channel has been selected. There are two types of sub-
channels:
. Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System (CTCSS)
When using CTCSS, a low-frequency tone (67 to 250 Hz) is transmitted along with the voice signal. There are 99
available tones to choose from. You are free to choose one of these 99 available tones. Due to filtering, these tones
are generally not audible so that they do not disturb the communication.
