BASIC OPERATION 2
■Channel selection
There are several types of channel selections. Methods may
differ, depending on the presetting. Consult your dealer for
details.
To select the desired operating channel:
➥Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR].
➥Push one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4].
➥Push [Prio A], [Prio B], [Prio A (Rewrite)] or [Prio B
(Rewrite)].
AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE:
Channel setting is not necessary for this scan type. When
turning ON the power, the transceiver automatically starts
scanning. Scanning stops when a signal is received.
■Receiving and transmitting
CAUTION:
Attach an antenna before transmitting.
Transmitting without an antenna may damage the trans-
ceiver.
Receiving:
Rotateq[VOL] to turn ON the power.
Rotatew[ROTARY SELECTOR], or push one of the memo-
ry channel keys, [MR-CH1] to [MR-CH4], to select a chan-
nel.
e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a
comfortable listening level.
Transmitting:
Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference.
While holding downq[PTT], speak at a normal voice level.
Releasew[PTT] to receive.
IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal:
1. After pushing [PTT], pause briefly before you start
speaking.
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from

Transmitting notesD
Transmit inhibit function•
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is busy.
However, depending on the presettings, you can transmit
when the call includes an unmatched (or matched) CTC-
SS (DTCS) tone.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
Time-out timer•
If continuous transmission exceeds the preprogrammed
time-out timer limit, transmission is cut off.
Penalty timer•
The time-out timer cuts off transmission, further transmis-
sion is inhibited for the preprogrammed penalty timer peri-
od.
DReceiving a Stun, Kill and Revive call
The dispatcher can send a 2-Tone that will stun, kill or revive
your transceiver.
When the Stun call is received, beeps sound*, and you can-
not receive or transmit. Receiving a Revive call, or entering a
password*, is necessary to operate the transceiver again.
When the Kill call is received, beeps sound*, and the trans-
ceiver becomes unusable. Cloning the transceiver is neces-
sary to operate the transceiver again, in this case.
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.
