With a fully charged battery, connect the antenna to the top of the radio’s antenna jack. 2. Rotate the POWER/VOL knob clockwise to turn on the radio. A power up alert will be heard and the current DC supply voltage will be indicated. After about 2 seconds, the display will resume normal operation and display the current operating frequency. 3. To increase/decrease the audio volume level, rotate the POWER/VOL knob. 4. To power down the radio, rotate the POWER/VOL knob fully counter clockwise until clicked and the display goes dark. After powering up, for its first use, the radio defaults to VFO operating mode and the default receive (RX) frequency is displayed for both 2m and 70cm. Once the radio has been used, it will power up to the mode it was in prior to being turned off. Keypad Overview: The BCH-270 has a 16 button keypad for operating the radio. From the keypad, you will be able to program the radio for how you want it to operate.
9CHAPTER 4: QUICK START – GET ME ON THE AIR! When the radio is powered on for the first time, it will display the measured battery voltage and emit a power on alert. The powered on alert will be followed by the voice message: “Power On.” On the top line of the radio display will be the 2m RX frequency (GROUP A) and the bottom line will display the 70cm RX frequency (GROUP B). CHAPTER 5: Basic Operation  RX 1. Upon power up, the radio defaults to a pre-programmed or default RX Frequency. 2. When radio is receiving a valid call, the speaker un-mutes and the green LED lights. 3. Certain conditions may be required for the radio to un-mute and receive. For example, proper CTCSS/DCS signal decode might be required in order for the radio to un-mute. In addition, the receiving signal must be strong enough to break the squelch (SQL) setting. 4. CTCSS/DCS signaling is a special squelch protocol and can help to ignore unwanted calls on the channel. CTCSS/DCS is programmed on a per channel basis. To communicate using CTCSS/DCS, other radios must have the same signaling in their radios. Working Modes 1）Frequency Mode (VFO) / MEMORY MODE To toggle between VFO mode and memory mode, press the V/M key. To indicate the radio is in memory mode for the respective band, there will be a channel number to the left of the frequency. Pressing the A/B button switches between each band. While in VFO mode, you can press the V/M key and this will convert to a quasi VFO/MEMORY mode where you can step up/down through the memory channels and the channel frequencies are displayed. In VFO mode, you can then step up/down in frequency by pressing the UP/DOWN keys. The up/down step size is determined by the STEP size programming. 2）Memory Mode To change to exclusive MEMORY mode where the ALPHA channel names are displayed, hold down the V/M key and cycle radio power. In this mode you can press the UP/DOWN keys to step through the pre-programmed channels. The names of the channels will be displayed. To go back to VFO / MEMORY mode, turn the radio off and then power up the radio holding the V/M key. 3）FM Mode The BCH-270 supports an FM radio. To change to FM Radio mode press the F key followed by the 8 key. While in this mode, you can press the UP/DOWN keys to change the FM radio frequency. 4）Menu Mode To enter Menu mode, press the F key. Press the UP/DOWN arrow keys to choose desired item. For more details please refer to “Menu Operations”. Chapter 6: HOW-TO Function GUIDE:
