Operation Manual

English

Turn the SQ knob (2) anti-clockwise into “ASC” position. No repetitive manual ad-

justment and a permanent improvement between the sensitivity and the listening

comfort when ASC is active. This function can be disconnected by turning the switch

clockwise. In this case the squelch adjustment becomes manual again.

b) MANUAL SQUELCH

Turn the SQ knob (2) clockwise to the exact point where all background noise dis-

appears. This adjustment should be done with precision as, if set to maximum (fully

clockwise), only the strongest signals will be received.

3) RF GAIN

This knob is for adjusting sensitivity during reception. For long distance communications

RF GAIN should be set to maximum. RF GAIN can be reduced to avoid distortion,

when your correspondent is close by and who does not have the RF POWER function.

The normal setting of this knob is on maximum (fully clockwise).

4) CHANNEL SELECTOR ROTARY KNOB

Turning this knob (4) allows you to choose a channel (1 ~ 80) for transmitting and

receiving.

5) DISPLAY

The display shows all the different functions. The bargraph shows the level of reception

and the level of power emitted. The TX LED lights up when the set goes into transmission

mode.

6) F - FREQUENCY BAND SELECTION

The frequency bands must be chosen according to the country where you are going

to operate. Do not use another conﬁguration. Some countries require user’s licence.

See table page 50

a) Radio set switched OFF.

b) Slide the F/OFF (6) switch on F position.

c) Switch ON the radio.

d) Choose the request conﬁguration with the channel rotary switch (see the chart p.

49).

e) Slide the F/OFF switch on OFF position.

f) And then, for ﬁnal conﬁrmation of the choice before operating in the conﬁguration,

switch OFF then ON the radio set.

7) MODE

Use this key to select AM or FM. The modulation mode must correspond with that of

the person with whom you communicate.

AM/ Amplitude Modulation is for communications in areas where there are obstacles

and over medium distances.

FM/ Frequency Modulation is for nearby communications in ﬂat, open areas. It gives

better quality of communication (squelch adjustment needs more ﬁnesse).

8) CH 19

Channel 19 is automatically selected when you activate this switch (8). To activate

this function, move the switch to CH19 position, and to return to the previous channel

move the same switch to OFF position. See table page 49 for modulation mode.

9) 6-PIN MICROPHONE PLUG

This plug is situated on the front panel, thereby making it easier to set the equipment

into the dashboard. See the cabling diagram on page 48.
