EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
RCAUTION! 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. (5
to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RCAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
RCAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
DO NOT push PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below +22°F (–30°C) or above
+140°F (+60°C).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-
ceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating temper-
ature range. However, the LCD display may not be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
PRECAUTION

BASIC OPERATION
■Turning power ON
qRotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.
wIf the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode,
input the digit codes as directed by your dealer.
•The keys in the table below can be used for password input:
•The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.
Therefore “01234”and “56789”are the same.
eWhen the “PASSWORD”indication does not clear after
inputting 4 digits, the input code number may be incorrect.
Turn the power off and start over in this case.
■Channel selection
Push [UP] or [DOWN], or rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR] to
select the desired system channel or talk group, in sequence.
•Up to 16 pre-programmed channels can be selected via [ROTARY
SELECTOR].
■Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding
CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary
prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may
be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific
station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contact-
ing you.
qSelect the desired DTMF encode channel according to
your System Operator’s instructions.
•This may not be necessary depending on programming.
•Refer to pgs. 11, 14, 16 for selection.
wPush the [PTT].
eAfter transmitting a DTMF code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.

DTransmitting notes
•Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- Channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
- 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 transceiv-
er to stop transmitting.
•Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
