Operations

Power on/off and volume adjustment
Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio on. Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to adjust the volume level as you prefer. To turn the radio off, rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a mechanical “click”.

Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel. Briefly press the Side key 1 to enable the Monitor feature in order to make sure that the frequency is not busy, and then press the PTT button. Release the PTT key to receive. Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is important not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and use the transmission mode sparingly to allow other users to talk. Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and should therefore be used sparingly to prolong the battery life.

Monitor
The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch, in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently opened. Hold down the Side key 1 to enable such function.

Scan
To enable the Scan function, the scanning will automatically start. Whenever any signal is detected, the scanning will stop on a busy channel. If the PTT is pressed, you will transmit on the latest busy channel; therefore if you don’t pick up any signal when you press PTT, the radio will transmit.

Flashlight
With two way radio turned on, shortly press the Side key 2 to turn on/off the flashlight at the top side of the radio.

Prompt voice switch settings
The encoder is selected to the 10th channel. Press and hold the PTT and Side Key 1 to turn on the radio, and turn the prompt voice on or off.
Turn on the prompt voice function, and there will be voice prompts when the encoder is turned on or operated. If you turn off the prompt voice function, there is only a “beep” prompt when you turn on or operate the encoder.

Emergency alert function
If necessary, you can per-program the Side Key 1 into the Alarm function via CPS programming software.
Turn on the radio, short press the Side Key 1 to turn on the alarm function. Press the Side Key 1 again to release the emergency alarm status.
