Status LED
The status LED has a very simple and traditional design. When you receive a signal it tuns green, when you transmit it turns red, and it’s off in standby.

Selection of the operational channel
Rotate the Encoder/channel knob to scroll up or down the channel list till you select the desired channel.
Refer to the table of frequencies. Moreover, the reception frequency could be different (duplex channels) from the transmission frequency or it could be the same (simplex channels). Normally communications among vessels can only take place on simplex channels.

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

PTT Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.
Briefly press the SK1 key to enable the Monitor feature in order to make sure that the frequency is not busy, then press and hold 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 receivinga 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.

Programmed Key
It is possible to set different functions for [SK1. ISK2] keys.

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.
Before using the Monitor function, pre-program the SK1 or SK2 keys as Monitor keys through thee CPS programming software. Press and hold the pre-programmed Monitor key to activate the monitor function.

Scan

  1. To begin scanning, press and hold the SCAN key for 3 seconds. Your radio will beep twice alerting you that the radio has entered the scan mode.
  2. When in Scan Mode, the radio wil rapidly scan through all programmed channels and will pause on any active channel. While Scan Function is active the Green LED will flash to indicate that the radio is scanning.
  3. After stopping on an active channel, scanning will resume once there has been 10 seconds of no activity on the channel.
  4. To reply to a received transmission when the Scan Mode is enabled, press and hold the PTT button (on radio or headset accessory) while the radio is paused on the active channel, the radio will then transmit on the active channel’s frequency. The radio will remain on the active channel for 10 seconds after the PTT key is released.
  5. To transmit on the frequency selected by the Channel Knob while Scan Mode is enabled, the user will verify that the radio is not receiving a transmission, then presS PTT key (on radio or headset accessory). Once the PTT button is released the radio will go back into scanning after 4 seconds of inactivity.
  6. To exit Scan Mode, the user will Long Press ( 3 seconds) the SCAN key The radio will emit a single beep, alerting the user that the radio has exited the Scan Mode.

Squelch
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to receive even weak signals.
The radio has 10 different Squelch levels that can be set by programming software: 0 means that the Squelch is turned of; from level 1 to level 9 you will have different levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch.
By default, the Squelch level of radio is set on level 4, Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this case you may not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an excessively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when no signals are present. Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present.

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 9 different levels (1.9) through the programming software:
Level 2 is set by default and has the lowest VOX sensitivity, 9 is the lowest one.
With the programming software you can enable/disable the VOX feature and select the sensitivity levels.
CPS programming path: program > VOX> VOX Level

Turn on the VOX

a. When the VOX function is enabled on your radio.
Talking to the MIC will automatically tum on the transmitter and send the voice. Stop talking, the radio automatically stops transmitting and waits for reception.
b. When you use the microphone with the headset. To use the voice control function, the VOX gain must be adjusted, and the VOX gain must be set, so that the radio can distinguish the sound level.
If the microphone is too sensitive, ambient noise can cause the radio to stat transmitting. If the microphone is not sensitive enough, the radio cannot pick up your voice. Be sure to adjust the VOX gain level to make the call go smoothly.

Note: The radio has the function of manually turn on the VOx. Press and hold the SK2 and PTT keys to turn on the radio. Repeat this operation to turn off the VOX function.

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 50 CTCSS tones and 232 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.
