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
