HX511 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATION Preliminaries If the transceiver has not been used since leaving the factory, fully charge the battery using CD-8 unit (with PA-14B or C) before using it. Mount the battery on the transceiver as described and shown in the photo below. Also, install the antenna on the jack on top of the transceiver by screwing the connector into the jack until it is finger-tight.
— EEE | — HX511 Ore Rating MANUAL OPERATION Preliminary Steps Before operating the transceiver for the first time: O Charge the battery pack and connect the supplied helical rubber flex antenna to the antenna jack on the top of the transceiver. Never operate the transceiver without an antenna connected. O If you have a Speaker/Mic, we suggest you do not connect it until vou are familiar with basic operation.
HX511 Opera Ting MANUAL OPERATION Scanning Scanning allows you to sequentially check for calls on all or only those channels you select. To start scanning, press the SWED bunion momentarily. A beep then sounds and the display will clear and show “5 TAN". Scanning will pause when a signal is received, at which time the channel number (or alphanumeric tag) will be displayed. A small “S” will be displayed above the channel, indicating the scanner is still active, but paused.
| — HXS511 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATION Priority Scanning Priority scanning allows you to scan and monitor channels while the receiver periodically checks for calls on a per-selected (“priority”) channel. You may want to use this feature if you want to scan different channels, but don’t want to miss a call for you on a primary dispatch, emergency or tactical frequency. After a call has been received on the priority channel, aeration returns to the programmed default channel scheme, as mentioned before.
| — EWE HXS511 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATION Dual Watch If you need to operate on a non-priority Chanel while still checking for calls on the priority channel, the Dual Watch feature let's you to do this without using the scanner. When enabled, operation on any selected non priority remains normal as before, however, when a signal is received on the priority channel or when you press the PTT switch, operation immediately shifts to the priority channel.

HX511 OPERATING MANUAL RECEIVER SQUELCH SETTING The squelch setting on your HX511 is preset at the factory, and does not normally require re-adjustment. However, in the event that this should become necessary: To adjust the squelch, use the Allen wrench to loosen the setscrew securing the VOL knob, then pull off the VOL knob. Rotate the small brass collar just above the base of the VOL control shaft, using a pair of tweezers, as shown below.
HX511 Operating Manual INSTALLING CHANNEL-STOPS To simplify operation and prevent selection of unprogrammed/unused channels or channel groups, tiny metal inserts or “stops” can be inserted into the top panel beneath the CH selector knob. A tiny tab protruding from beneath the skirt of the GH knob engages the stop(s) as it is turned, preventing further rotation.
