The “active” button
Pressing this button exchanges active and standby frequencies.
With a normal setup, you edit the standby frequency (change frequencies either by direct
entry or channel selection).
Note: It is possible to select the transceiver to operate in “direct frequency mode” in this mode
you will only see a single frequency on the display which is your active frequency. You can
directly change this frequency.
Note: Holding down this button for 1 second will activate the scanning system (both active
and standby frequencies are scanned rapidly for incoming transmissions). If the scanning is
enabled, this will disable the scanning. Scanning is indicated by a flashing “S” between the
active and standby heading:

You will hear a short burst of beeps when activating or deactivating the scanning so you do
not have to look at the display. You will get three beeps if the scanning has been enabled and
two beeps if it has been disabled.
Note: Holding down this button for 3 seconds will automatically set the active frequency to the
emergency broadcast channel on 121.5 Mhz.

The “VOL/SQL” button
The transceiver defaults to the volume bargraph display. In this mode pressing the up or down
arrow button will adjust the headset volume.
Pressing this button will change to the squelch bargraph and this will allow you to set the
desired squelch level.
Adjust the squelch level such that the static noise from the receiver is just squelched out.
Adjusting this too high may result in weaker transmissions not being received. Adjusting this
too low may result in static noise breaking though at times.
Note: This button is also used for a quick receiver check: Press the button to show the
squelch level and then press it again to return to the volume level. This will open the squelch
for about two seconds regardless of the squelch setting so you can verify receiver static
(which is a good indication that the receiver is working).
