Specific conditions of use:
The Entel ATEX transceivers should only be used with the specific, permitted accessories, as detailed above.

PREPARING YOUR RADIO FOR USE

Attaching/removing the antenna

1. To attach, carefully align the antenna with the socket. Screw in the antenna clockwise (taking care not to cross the thread) (A).
2. To remove, unscrew the antenna anti-clockwise (B).

Attaching / removing the battery pack

1. To attach, locate the pegs on the bottom of the battery into the slots on the radio and press the top of the battery against the radio. Secure battery by tightening the screw clockwise by hand (do not use any implement or over tighten) (C).
2. To remove, unscrew the locking screw anti-clockwise and pull the battery away from the top of the radio (D).

SWITCHING ON, RECEPTION AND SWITCHING OFF

1. To switch on rotate the on/off/volume control (1) on the top of the radio clockwise, you will hear a click from the control.
2. When the radio has passed its diagnostic tests, it will emit a fanfare tone.
3. The radio will enter standby mode. This is indicated by the LED flashing amber once every 5 seconds, signaling that the radio is ready for use.
4. Adjust the volume control (1) to select the desired volume level.
5. Using the channel control (2), ensure you have the correct channel selected.
6. When receiving a valid signal, the LED will illuminate steady green and audio will be emitted from the radio’s speaker or audio accessory (if attached).
7. When finished using the radio, switch off by turning the on/off/volume control
   (1) counter clockwise until it clicks and the radio will be switched off.

TRANSMITTING

1. Perform steps 1 through to 5 above.
2. Before transmitting, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
3. When receiving a signal, wait until the signal stops before transmitting. The radio cannot transmit and receive simultaneously.
4. Press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button (4) to begin your transmission. To confirm transmission the LED will illuminate red.
5. For best transmitted speech quality, you must talk directly into the radio’s microphone (8) at around 4cm between your mouth and the radio.
6. Please note: if you talk into the top of the radio or with your mouth further away, you will transmit poor quality speech.
7. When the transmission is finished release the PTT button.
