SELF PROGRAMMING MODE •
TO CHANGE THE OPERATING FREQUENCIES OF CHANNELS
[1] With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT switch
and Side 1 key while turning the transceiver power ON.
Continue to hold the PTT switch and Side 1 key until the LED lights orange and the transceiver announces “Self.”
[2] Release the PTT switch and Side 1 key.
• The transceiver announces “Zone #” that you were operating.
• Pressing the Side 1 key or Side 2 key will toggle between Zone 1
and Zone 2.
• Press the PTT switch to choose the Zone that you want to modify.
• Then, the transceiver announces “Analog” or “Digital” whichever
the selected zone was operating.
• Pressing the Side 1 key or Side 2 key will toggle between “Analog”
and “Digital.”
• Press the PTT switch to choose the mode that you want to operate
in the selected zone.
• Upon choosing the mode (above [2]), the transceiver announces
Zone#, Channel#, and “Channel.”
[3] Rotate the Channel selector to your desired channel#.
To change the frequency of the selected channel, Press the PTT switch.
To change the QT or DQT, press the Side 1 or 2 key to toggle between “Channel”, “QT”, and “DQT”. [If the channel is in ANALOG Zone] and press the PTT. To change the RAN or NXDN ID*, press the Side 1 or 2 to toggle between “Channel”, “RAN”, and “NXDN ID,” [If the channel is in DIGITAL Zone] and press the PTT.
[4] Press the Side 1 / Side 2 key to increment/ decrement the table number,
to select a frequency, QT/DQT/RAN, and NXDN ID. • Press and hold the Side 1 or Side 2 key to increment / decrement
the number by 5 at a time.
[5] Press the PTT switch to save the setting.
• A beep will sound. • Repeat steps [3] to [5] to set up another channel.
[6] Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate the

*NXDN ID
(Blank or 1 to 65519)
NXDN ID (Own unit ID) allows you to configure an identification code consisting of a number from 1 to 65,519 for each transceiver. It can be used to identify the transceiver in an NXDN System (Conventional).

CHANNEL CONFIRMATION MODE To confirm your channel settings: [1] With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the PTT switch while
turning the transceiver power ON. • Continue to hold the PTT switch until the LED lights orange and the transceiver announces “Confirm”.
[2] Release the PTT switch.
• Transceiver announces “Zone 1 Analog (or Digital)”.
[3] Pressing the Side 1 key or Side 2 key will toggle between “Zone 1”
and “Zone 2”. Select a zone by pressing the PTT switch.
[4] Rotate the Channel selector to your desired channel.
• Transceiver announces the channel table number, tone number, scrambler and VOX settings of the selected channel. [5] Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to return to
normal operation. Note: The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if no action is performed for 20 seconds.
VOX GAIN LEVEL SETUP MODE To change the VOX Gain level: [1] With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1 key
while turning the transceiver power ON. • Continue to hold the Side 1 key until the LED lights orange and the transceiver beeps. [2] Release the Side 1 key.
• Transceiver announces the current VOX Gain Level (OFF, 1~10).
OFF: a double beep
1: the least sensitive 10: the most sensitive
[3] Press the Side 1 key: Increment VOX gain level by 1. (this will adjust the VOX gain level of the radio) Press the Side 2 key: Turn VOX ON (a single beep)/OFF (a double beep).
(this will change the ON/OFF setting for the current channel of the current zone)
•
To change channel: Rotate the Channel selector
•
To change zone: Hold the Side 2 key
Press the PTT switch: Confirm the VOX Gain Level. [4] Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to return to normal operation.
