MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide Basic Operation ! Before turning on your radio for the first time, you should ensure power connections have been made correctly and all antenna connections are proper and secure. Turning the Radio On and Off Rotate the power/volume knob clockwise past the detent to turn on the radio. Rotate the power/volume knob further clockwise to increase the volume. Rotate the power/volume knob counterclockwise past the detent to turn off the radio.
MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide threshold level will be indicated by a steady green Tx/Busy indicator. CTCSS/DCS Operation CTCSS or DCS signaling adds an additional condition to carrier squelch operation. In addition to the signal having to exceed the squelch threshold level, the received signal must also have the correct CTCSS or DCS tone or code before the audio will be passed to the speaker.
MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide Consult your dealer or communications coordinator for further details on how your radio has been programmed for 2-tone operation. 2-tone signaling allows users to receive only calls intended for them. However, more than one radio transmitting at a time will still cause interference. Do not transmit if the Tx/Busy indicator is illuminated green or amber. Wait until the channel is clear before transmitting.
MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide Press PTT before you start talking and release PTT after you have finished speaking. Your radio doesn’t allow you to talk and receive simultaneously, so keep your transmission short. When you are transmitting, other people can not. Use common sense and do not occupy the channel too much. The radio might be programmed with a timeout timer which will automatically end your transmission after a preset time. In this case release PTT and wait for a few seconds.
MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide Once the receive signal ends, the radio may be programmed to wait a period of time before resuming scan. When the scan hang timer has expired, scanning will resume. This scan hang timer will also be started whenever the radio has ceased transmitting on a channel. Your dealer or communications coordinator will customize the scan options for your particular situation; the following paragraphs detail the available options.
MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide Priority Select Scan If channel select priority scan has been programmed by your dealer or communications coordinator, the channel selected when scan is turned on will be assigned as the priority channel. Operation will otherwise follow the priority channel scan conventions.
MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide Programmable Functions For increased flexibility and customization, the 6 front panel buttons [∼], [ ], [A], [B], [C] and [D] may be programmed with the following functions: Call Alert Press and release this button to enable the horn output.
