BTX-127 CTCSS-VHF/FM Business Band Transceiver 
(190-1206)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 51121

Note:  You can only communicate with another transceiver that is using the
       same channel and/or the same CTCSS code as your transceiver.

1.  Turn VOLUME clockwise to turn on the transceiver, turn SQUELCH fully
    counterclockwise until you hear a hissing sound, then adjust the
    volume to a comfortable listening level.

2.  If you did not set the transceiver to use a CTCSS code, wait until
    there is no signal on the channel.  Then turn SQUELCH clockwise until
    the background noise between signals stops.

3.  To conserve battery power, slide HI/LO to LO.  If the person you
    transmit to has trouble receiving your signal, slide HI/LO to HI.

4.  To transmit, hold down PUSH TO TALK.  Then hold the transceiver about
    3 inches from your mouth and speak slowly in a normal voice.  The
    RX/TX indicator lights red.

5.  Release PUSH TO TALK when you finish your transmission.

6.  To turn off the transceiver, turn VOLUME counterclockwise until it
    clicks.

Operational Hints

Your transceiver's range varies depending on factors such as position,
terrain, and battery condition.  Buildings absorb transmitted signals and,
if they contain metal, might completely block the signals.  Trees and
heavy cloud formations have a similar effect, though not as severe. If you
are near a lake or the ocean, you might get excellent range.

To ensure maximum range, operate the transceiver with the battery pack
fully charged.  As the voltage decreases, the range decreases.
