3. OPERATION 3.
3.2 ICONS on LCD 1. RSSI (Receiving Signal Strength Indicator) or TX Bar Icon Indicates the receiving signal strength during transmission and it can be indicated the number of bar according to the strength of receiving signal. 2) Monitor Indicator Appears when the monitor button is used. 3) CTCSS Indicator Blinks when the correct CTCSS tone is entered. 4) Auto Channel Scan Indicator Appears in the normal scan mode or when the normal scan mode is activated.
12) Large Segment Display Indicates the channel number in use at the normal mode. When the Function Button is pressed, it Displays the function menu in sequence: Ch / rdo / Sc / Uo / H00 / Sub / CAL / bEP / rog / tAL / [1] / [2] / [3] / P1 / P2 / P3 / P4 / P5 13) Small Segment Display Displays the FM frequency at the FM mode. Displays the SUBMENU of each MENU in the function mode. 13.
3.3-2 FUNCTION BUTTON (#12) 1) Short Touch - Press this button briefly to enter function edit mode in standby mode. 2) Long Touch - Press for longer than 1.5 seconds to activate the KEY LOCK in the standby mode. Please note all buttons will be disabled except the Monitor Button (#2) and PTT Button (#4) will remain fully operational. 3.3-3 UP BUTTON (#10) 1) Short Touch - In the standby mode, press this button briefly to move to the next higher main volume level.

The user selected call ringer melody will play. 3.3-6 MONITOR BUTTON (#2) - Press it to check activity on the current channel before you try to transmit. - Adjust the Volume Control (#10, #11) if necessary.
2) CTCSS (Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System) SUB-CHANNEL SELECTION MODE This feature allows you to utilize a less used channel range (00-38) within a main channel. This enables you to communicate with another party on the same main channel using the same subcode. This helps to avoid congestion on the main channel and filters out unwanted noise and static. There are 38 CTCSS sub-channels for each main channel.
3.4-3 CHANNEL SCAN MODE 1) NORMAL SCAN MODE This feature allows you to scan for an active channel and communicate with the party transmitting. The power saver is disabled in this mode. To access the Auto Channel Scan menu, Press the Function Button (#12) until the word “SC” appears in the LCD. - Press the Down Button (#11) or the Up Button (#10) to choose “nr”. - Press the Monitor Button (#2) to confirm your selection. The unit will begin scanning for an active main channel.
3.4-4 VOX & VOX RECOVERY TIME SELECTION MODE 1) VOX SELECTION MODE The Voice Activated Transmission (VOX) function allows your voice to activate transmission automatically when the TECTALK FM is used with the optional Handsfree MIC/headset. It also allows Handsfree use when a MIC/headset is not being used without having to use the PTT Button (#4). To access the VOX Selection menu, - Press the Function Button (#12) until the word “UO” appears in the LCD Panel (#8).
3.4-6 SUB OPTION SELECTION MODE This mode allows you to enter the sub option selection mode. -Press the Function Button (#12) until the word “Sub” appears in the LCD.
