Press [BAND] to select the VHF or UHF band.

  If in Memory Recall mode {page 6}, press 

, then press

 to select a band.

Turn the Tuning control clockwise to increase the
frequency or counterclockwise to decrease the
frequency.

• To change frequencies in steps of 1 MHz, press [MHz] first.

1 MHz digit blinks.  Pressing [MHz] again cancels this
function.

• If you cannot select a particular frequency, the frequency

step size needs to be changed.  See “CHANGING
FREQUENCY STEP SIZE” {page 40}.

• You can also select frequencies with the numeric keys.  See

“KEYPAD DIRECT ENTRY” {page 40}.

1 When ready to begin transmitting, press and hold the

PTT switch and speak in a normal tone of voice.

• The On Air lamp lights red and the battery meter

appears.

• Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly,

may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your
signal at the receiving station.

• The battery meter shows the current relative battery

charge.

2 When you finish speaking, release the PTT switch.

  Holding down the 

 switch for more than

10 minutes causes the transceiver to generate a beep and stop
transmitting.  Release, then press the 

 switch to resume transmitting.

You cannot switch this function OFF.

Press [LOW] to select high (default), low, or
economic low power (lowest).

• “HI”, “LO”, or “EL” appears to show the current selection.

  Selecting lower transmit power is a wise method to reduce

battery consumption if communication is still reliable.
