Basic Operations

In order to get the most out of your new radio, read this reference guide completely before attempting to operate the unit.

Power on/off and volume adjustment
To turn the radio on, keep pressed the [ /CALL] button.
To adjust the volume level as you prefer, press the [▲] or [▼] button.
In case the radio does not pick up any signal, activate momentarily the Monitor function that allows to detect also weak signals. Then, adjust the volume to the desired level.
To turn the radio off, keep pressed the [ /CALL] button until a switch off tone is heard.

Keypad Lock
To avoid accidentally changing the radio settings, press the [ /MENU] button for 3 seconds. The icon will appear on the display. [PTT], , [ /CALL] and [MONI] keys will still be active. Repeat the same procedure to unlock the keypad.

Talking on Your Radio
To talk to others using the radio:

1. Press and hold the [PTT] button and speak in a clear, normal voice about 2-3 inches away from the microphone. While you are transmitting, the TX → icon appears on the display. To avoid cutting off the first part of your transmission, pause slightly after pressing the [PTT] button before you start talking.
2. When you have finished speaking, release the [PTT] button. You can now receive incoming calls. While receiving, RX ← displays.

Monitor Mode Feature
Your radio allows you to listen for weak signals on the current channel at the press of a key. To turn ON Monitor mode: Press and hold [ /MONI] for 2 seconds until two beeps sound. The receiver circuit stays open, and both noise and weak signals can be heard. The RX ← icon blinks. To turn OFF Monitor mode: Press and hold [ **/MONI] for 2 seconds to return to “Normal” mode; two beeps sound and the RX** ← icon stops blinking and disappears.

Channel Scanning
MP25/ T25 can automatically search for signals throughout the FRS bands by scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that channel and you can transmit by pushing [PTT]. If you press [PTT] during scanning you can transmit on the channel from which the scanning started. The scroll buttons [▲] or [▼] allow you to change the direction of scanning (from lower channels to higher ones or vice versa) and therefore to skip communications which are of no interest.
Press briefly the button [ /SCAN] to start scanning.
If you want to stop it, press again [ /SCAN]. Your transceiver will go back to the channel from which the scanning originally started.

Scanning Sub-Codes
Press and hold [ /SCAN] button to enter the Sub-Codes scanning.
A flashing “CTC/DCS” will be in the left status display to indicate the radio is in Sub-Codes scanning mode.
In this mode, the lower display will cycle through the Sub-Codes as they are being tested. Once the bits of the received
Privacy code are determined, the “CTC/DCS” indicator will stop flashing.
Press the [PTT] button to save the scanned tone into memory.
During scanning, press and hold [ /SCAN] button to exit Sub-Code scanning.

Using the Flashlight
