General Radio Operation

Repeater or Direct Operation
The REPEATER operation increases the radio’s range by 
connecting with other radios through a repeater. The transmit 
and receive frequencies are different.
The DIRECT or “talkaround operation” allows you to bypass the 
repeater and connect directly to another radio. The transmit and 
receive frequencies are the same.
Procedure: 
Press the preprogrammed Repeater/Direct switch to toggle 
between talkaround and repeater modes. 
OR 
Follow the procedure below.

 to 
DIR.

Press the Menu Select button directly below 
DIR.

The display shows 
REPEATER MODE if the radio is currently 
in Repeater mode.
OR
The display shows 
DIRECT MODE and the Talkaround icon if 
the radio is currently in Direct mode (during conventional 
operation only).
You can repeat step 2 to toggle between the two modes. Once 
in Direct Mode, press PTT button to start conversation with the 
radios nearby.
Monitoring Features
Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often 
assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an 
indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not the 
case.
Digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the 
“noise” from the signal and allowing only the clear voice or data 
information to be heard.
Monitor a channel to ensure the channel is clear before 
transmitting.
Monitoring a Channel
Procedure:
Lift the microphone off hook. 
Conventional Modes Only:
1
Listen for activity on that channel. 
2
Adjust the Volume knob if necessary.
3
If you hear no activity, press and hold the PTT button to start 
your conversation.
