GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
For the following explanations, refer to “Parts Of The
Radio” on page 4 of the user guide.
TURNING RADIO ON/OFF
To turn ON the radio, rotate the ON/OFF/Volume Knob
clockwise. The radio plays one of the following:
• Power up tone and channel number announcement, or
• Battery level and channel number announcements, or
• Silent (Audible tones disabled)
The LED blinks red briefly.
To turn the radio OFF, rotate the ON/OFF/Volume Knob
counterwise until you hear a ‘click’ and the radio LED
indicator turns OFF.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
Turn the ON/OFF/Volume Knob clockwise to increase the
volume, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear when it is at a
high volume setting or when adjusting the volume setting.
READING THE DISPLAY
Note: The radio display shown here is for icon location only.
Each radio display may appear different (channel and
code) based on the pre-programmed radio defaults and
features available in the model or region. Pressing any
button, except the PTT button, will turn on the backlight.
SELECTING A CHANNEL
Use the Channel Selector Knob to access a specific
channel.
During powering on or switching channel, the voice
annunciation will confirm the channel number.
Program each channel separately. Each channel has its
own Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scan
Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before transmitting to
avoid ‘talking over’ someone who is already transmitting.
To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button to access
channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear ‘static’.
To release, press the SB1 button again. Once channel
traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the
PTT button. When transmitting, the radio LED will be solid
red.
Note: In order to listen to all activities on a current channel,
short press the SB1 button in order to set the CTCSS/
DPL code to 0. This feature is called “CTCSS/DPL Defeat
(Squelch set to SILENT)”.
(*) This assumes SB1 button has not been programmed for a
different mode.

GETTING STARTED
RECEIVING A CALL
1. Select a channel by rotating the Channel Selector Knob until
you reach the desired channel.
2. Make sure the PTT button is released and listen for voice
activity.
3. The LED Indicator blinks RED while the radio is receiving a
call.
4. To respond, hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to
5 cm) from mouth. Press the PTT button to talk; release it to
listen.
Note: Please note that when radio is receiving or transmitting,
LED is always RED.
Note: Interference Eliminator Codes are referred also as
CTCSS/DPL codes or PL/DPL codes
TALK RANGE
XT Series radios have been designed to maximize
performance and improve transmission range in the field. It
is recommended that you do no use the radios closer than
1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference. XT460 coverage is
16.250 square meters, 13 floors and 9 KM in flat areas.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by
concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating radios
indoors or in vehicles. Optimal range occurs in flat, open
areas with up to 9 kilometers of coverage. Medium range
occurs when buildings and trees are in the way. Minimal
range occurs when dense foliage and mountains obstruct
the communication path.
To establish a proper two-way communication, the
Channel, Frequency and Interference Eliminator Codes
must be the same on both radios. This depends on the
stored profile that has been pre-programmed on the radio:
1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is using, depending
upon radio model.
2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to transmit/
receive.
3. Interference Eliminator Code: These codes help minimize
interference by providing a choice of code combinations.
4. Scramble Code: Codes that make the transmissions sound
garbled to anyone listening who is not set to that specific
code.
5. Bandwidth: Some frequencies have selectable channel
spacing, which must match other radios for optimum audio
quality.
For details of how to set up frequencies and CTCSS/DPL
codes in the channels, refer to “Entering Programming
Mode” on page 15
