• The marked CH numbers are the default channel settings.
SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver
channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal
on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.
If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel
and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the
QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning
continues.
Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it is
activated. You can turn the scan function (the ability to perform
scan) ON or OFF in Setting Mode.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or to
select “ ” (scan function disabled) or
“ ” (scan function enabled).
• If you select “ ”, you will no longer be able to perform scan
by pressing and holding the key {page 28}.
To begin scanning:
1 Press and hold the key for 1 second.
• “ ” appears on the display.
2 When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQT matches, the
channel number appears on the display and blinks.
3 When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits
for 5 seconds before scanning continues.
• If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds elapse, the
transceiver will remain on the channel until the new signal is
no longer present, at which time it will again wait for 5 seconds
before continuing.
28
4 To end the scan at any time, press and hold the key for
1 second.
• The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before
you started scanning.
REVERT CHANNEL
The revert channel is the channel from which you start
scanning. So, for example, if you are on channel 1 when you
begin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1.
During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically select
the transceiver’s revert channel (in the above example, channel
1) and you will begin transmitting. However, if you are currently
paused on another channel after having received a signal (for
example, channel 2), pressing the PTT switch will allow you
to transmit on that channel, rather than returning to the revert
channel. Scanning will resume after 5 seconds, unless a signal
is present on the channel.
SQUELCH LEVEL
You can adjust the default squelch level of the transceiver.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or

You can select the delay time as described on page 30.
4 To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to
“ ” (VOX function off).
VOX Gain Level
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you
transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission
and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain level such
that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient
noise.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or to
select “ ” (VOX function off) or “ ”

5).
30
• While adjusting the VOX Gain level, speak into the microphone.
When an appropriate level is reached, the LED lights orange.
• Setting the VOX gain level to OFF deactivates VOX. In order to
transmit with VOX turned off, you must use the PTT switch.
VOX Delay Time
If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after
you stop speaking, the end of your message may not be
transmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time that
allows your entire message to be transmitted. However, do not
make the delay overly long.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or to
select “ ” (0.1 sec.), “ ” (0.3 sec.),
“ ” (0.5 sec.), “ ” (1 sec.), “ ”

• While adjusting the VOX Delay Time, speak into the microphone
to simulate transmitting. The LED lights orange while speaking,
but no signal is transmitted at this time.
Transmit Inhibit While Receiving
While using VOX, you can set the transceiver to detect when
the channel is in use (in place of using the Monitor function).
With this function turned on, VOX will not allow you to transmit
while the channel is being used. You can transmit only when
the channel is free. Setting up the proceed tone function will
notify you when the channel is free {below}.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}.
2 Press the or key to select “ ”.
31
3 Press the MENU key then press or to
select “ ” (transmit inhibit while receiving
on) or “ ” (transmit inhibit while receiving
