Rotate the [Power/Volume] knob to adjust the volume. Turn clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

• To turn the radio off, rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a mechanical “click”.
• If voice prompts are enabled, they will be accompanied by “Power on and channel number”.

Select a Channel
NA-T20D can store up to 30 channels, and the channel type allows programming to analog or/and encrypted.
In standby mode, Press the + (SK1)/ – (SK2) keys to step down or down to select the channel. When the voice prompt function is turned on, the corresponding channel is broadcast by voice.

• If the channel is encrypted, it will be accompanied by “Encryption and channel number”.

Attention: It is necessary to set the members of the group on the same channel in order to communicate through radios.

Making a Call
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
Press and hold the + (SK1) key to enable the Monitor feature in order to make sure that the frequency is not busy, and then press and hold the [PTT] key. 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. If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving, the station may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.

Making a Encryption Call

• Select an encryption channel, Press and hold [PTT] key, the radios is in the transmitting state, and the red indicator light is constantly on. Then speak in a normal tone into the microphone.
• After releasing the [PTT] key, the yellow light briefly flashes once, and the radio is in an acceptable state. When receiving a call, the yellow indicator light remains on.

Note: Set the group members on the same channel and encryption sequence (0-31) to achieve interconnection.

Monitor
Before using the monitor function, please confirm whether the side key function is defined as “Long Press Monitor”.

The Monitor feature is for opening the Squelch, in order to monitor to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently opened. Press and hold the + (SK1) key to enable such function.

3. At any time during scanning, simply press the + (SK1) key to pause the radio scanning. The radio returns to the channel of the last received signal for transmission. If no valid signal is received during the scanning period, then return to the scanning start channel for transmission.
4. Scanning method: In carrier scanning mode, scanning stops when a signal is detected, and scanning continues after 5 seconds of carrier signal loss. After scanning the signal, the voice prompts the channel number scanned.

Encryption scanning

1. On 14th channel, Press and hold the [PTT] and [+/SK1] keys to turn on the radio, and enter the encryption scan. The scan starts from the current channel, and the signal light is flashing yellow. Press and hold the + (SK1) key again to exit the scan.
2. When scanning pauses on a channel, the yellow light will light up.
3. At any time during scanning, simply press the + (SK1) key to pause the radio scanning. The radio returns to the channel of the last received signal for transmission. If a valid signal is continuously received during the scanning period, it will return to the scanning start channel for transmission.
4. Scanning method: In carrier scanning mode, scanning stops when a signal is detected, and scanning continues after 5 seconds of carrier signal loss. After scanning the signal, the voice prompts the channel number scanned.

Prompt voice switch settings
On 10th channel, press and hold the [PTT] and [+/SK1] keys to turn on the radio, and turn on or off the voice prompt function.
Turn on the voice prompt function, which will be accompanied by voice prompts when turning on the radio or switching channel sequences. If the prompt voice function is turned off, there will only be a “beep” prompt when turning on the radio or switching channel sequences.

VOX
The VOX feature enables hands free conversations without using PTT: just speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be automatically activated. The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 5 different levels (1…5) through the programming software:

Level 2 is set by default and has the lowest VOX sensitivity, 5 is the lowest one.
With the programming software you can enable/disable the VOX feature and select the sensitivity levels.

NOTE: On 5th channel, press and hold the [PTT] and [+/SK1] keys to turn on the radio, and prompt “VOX on, welcome 5” to turn on/off VOX feature.

Quick group formation (Wireless clone)
On channel 2, press and hold the [PTT] and [+/SK1] keys to turn on both the transmitter and receiver. The receiver and transmitter prompt “beep” to enter wireless replication. When the transmitter presses the [PTT] key, the red light remains on, and the receiver green light automatically remains on. After copying all channel parameters of the transmitter, the receiver prompts “beep” twice. And automatically restart the radio.

Voice frequency hopping
Set frequency hopping on/off for each channel through CPS software. When the frequency hopping function is enabled, it cannot communicate with the regular settings.

Note: Channels with frequency hopping function must be synchronously set with CTCSS or DCS.

CTCSS/DCS tones
CTCSS and DCS tones are similar to access codes and enable the radio to communicate only with the users that are tuned on the same channel and have set the same code. For each channel, you can set up to 51 CTCSS tones and 210 DCS codes. The CTCSS/DCS tones are a sort of “access codes” and enable the radio to communicate only with the other users set on the same frequency and on the same CTCSS/DCS tone. Undesired signals coming from other stations set on the same frequency but with different CTCSS/DCS tones won’t be received.

Quick operation radio
Without CPS programming software, you can perform the following quick operations through the combination of [PTT] and [+/SK1]:

• On the 1th channel, press and hold the [PTT] and [+/SK1] keys to turn on the radios, and the green light flashes to perform frequency scanning.
