Using The Radio

To turn the radio on and off, hold down the ON/OFF button for about 1
second.

To select a channel, press /\ or \/ on the left hand side of radio, to
reach the desired frequency.

To talk, hold down PTT (push to talk) and speak into the microphone.  TX
appears on the display.  When you finish speaking, release the PTT button.

To hear everything happening on a channel, including weak transmissions and
radios set to a different quiet code, hold down M (monitor).  BUSY appears
on the display.  Release M to turn auto-squelch back on.

You can cause a paging tone to sound on all radios tuned to the same channel
(and quiet code, if used).  To send a page, hold down CALL (for up to 10
seconds).  TX flashes on the display.

To control the volume, press /\ or \/ on the right hand side of radio, to
reach the desired volume.

IMPORTANT WARNING:  Do not hold the radio's speaker against your ear with
                    the key cover closed. The radio is automatically set to
                    a high volume when the key cover is closed.

To light the display, press the (light symbol) button.

You can lock most of the radio's keys so they don't work until you unlock
them, to avoid accidentally changing the radio's settings.  To lock and un-
lock the front panel keys (except ON/OFF, VOLUME /\ or \/, and [light sym-
bol]), press (key symbol).  LOCK appears on the display when the keys are
locked.

Using the Quiet Feature

The Quiet Feature lets you talk and listen to people who are using other
radios set to the same channel and quiet code.  This is like having a sub-
channel within a channel, giving you greater communication flexibility.
When you set a quiet code (38 to choose from) and turn on this feature, you
can communicate with anyone who has a radio set to the same channel and
code.

1.  Select a channel to add a code to it.

2.  Hold down FUNC, then press STORE.  QUIET, off, and TONE TX/RX* appear
    on the display.  The code number appears instead of off if the channel
    is already programmed with a code.

*  TX/RX means transmit/receive.

3.  Repeatedly press CHANNEL \/ or /\ until you see the code number you
    want to select.

4.  Hold down FUNC, then press STORE or PTT to store the code.

Now, select a channel where you stored a code to use the quiet code.  QUIET
appears on the display.  Press QUIET until QUIET disappears to disable the
quiet code on the selected channel.  Press QUIET again to re-enable it.

To clear a quiet code from a channel, repeat Steps 1 - 4, pressing CHANNEL
\/ OR /\ in Step 3 until off appears.

To set one code for the transmit side of a channel and a different code for
the receive side, repeat Steps 1 - 3 (select the receive code in Step 3)
then press STORE.  TONE/RX appears.  Press STORE again.  TONE/TX appears.
Then repeatedly press CHANNEL \/ or /\ to select the transmit code, hold
down FUNC, then press STORE.
