Business Band Mobile Transceiver w/CTCSS/VHF-FM
(190-1210)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 56028

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

       Make sure the first digit DIP switch is always set to 0 (down)
       before you operate the transceiver.

       The second-digit DIP switch should be set to 0(down) when you are
       using one of the 9 preset frequencies or set to 1 (up) when using
       channel 1 with a frequency other than any of the preset frequencies

1.  Turn VOLUME clockwise to turn on the transceiver, turn SQUELCH fully
    counterclockwise until you hear a hissing noise, 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 rotate SQUELCH clockwise
    until the back-ground noise between signals stops.

3.  To transmit, hold the microphone about 3 inches from your mouth, hold
    down the button on the microphone then speak slowly in a normal voice.
    TX on the front of the transceiver lights red.

4.  Release the button when you finish your transmission.  RX on the front
    of the transceiver lights green when the transceiver receives a signal

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

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.
