7.2 Switching on/off & Second country mode
To turn the radio on (or off), press and hold the ON/C key. On
start-up the display will show the handset software issue num-
ber for 2 seconds, then the station number and software issue
number for the transceiver unit for 2 seconds.
As default, the radio is tuned to the priority channel (normally
16). If last used channel mode has been set (see section 8.3.3),
the radio will switch on tuned to the previously used channel.
The radio also stores volume and squelch settings automatically
and will revert to these on start-up.
In countries where it is permitted, the RS82 can operate on a
secondary set of channels, such as the USA channels.
To select the secondary channel mode, press S
HIFT followed by
O
K. The display will show the channel set selected for 2 sec-
onds, before reverting to the default display.
NOTE Channels available will depend on programming. Please enquire
with your national licensing authority for details of permitted
channel sets in your own country.
7.3 Changing channels
To select a channel, enter the channel number using the numer-
ic keypad (Fig 7.1). If the channel is invalid, the display will
show “INVALID CHANNEL”, before reverting to the previous
channel.
The priority channel (normally 16) can be selected by pressing
16, which will also set the radio to 25W (high) transmit power.
