That is, memory channels 1 ~ 6 will have the same offset and tone entered The frequency memorized in M3 can be recalled by just pushing the “D" (CALL) key. eM4 The frequency memorized in M4 will be the priority frequency on ! priority scanning. The priority scan is described on page 34.
(6) TURNING THE BEEP Each push of the '9'" (BEEP) key while depressing the "FUN" key TONE ON/OFF turns the beep tone ON and OFF alternately. When the tone is ON, the beep sounds each time a key is pushed. The volume of the beep tone can be adjusted by turning the VOLUME control the same as the receiver audio volume control. (7) STARTING THE By pushing the “C"' (PS) key while depressing the “FUN” key. the PROGRAMMED SCAN programmed scan is started.

{2) CALL KEY (1) When the set is in either MEMORY CHANNEL MODE or DIAL ‘ MODE, pushing the D" {(CALL} key recalls the frequency memorized in memory channel 3 (M3). The letter “C" appears which indicates the CALL function is activated. At this time, all key functions except the CLEAR and LOCK functions are disabled. @ To clear the CALL KEY function.
35 The following steps are taken to utilize the PRIORITY UNCTION. (1) Memorize your favorite frequency into memory channel 4. (2) Set the desired operating frequency by pushing keys or select a memory channel which has the desired operating frequency memorized, (3) Push the "4’ (DRIP) key while pushing the “FUN” key, and the set receives on the operating frequency a period of five seconds and on the priority channel {memory channel which contains your favorite frequency) one second.
6 To clear the PRIORITY FUNCTION, just push the “A” {CL) key. #When the contents of M4 are 1456.68MHz and —600kHz duplex, and the desired operating frequency is 145 MHz with —600kHz duplex: Push key Display | 145:58 4552 H5:68 4557 Mg {One secant) {Five seconds) {One second) {Five seconds) {Transmitting) 6-7 LOCK FUNCTION This function prevents accidental frequency and function changes.
