TURNING THE RADIO ON AND OFF AND ADJUSTING VOLUME
To turn on the radio, rotate its On/Off Volume Control knob clockwise out of the detent position. This knob
is item 13 on page 6. A click will be sensed. The radio responds by displaying its power-up screen and its LED
status indicator flashes green. To turn the radio off, rotate this knob fully counter-clockwise until the detent
click is sensed.
Rotate this knob clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease volume. Adjustments affect
both received call volume and group notification volume.
REGISTERING ON A TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEM
To operate on a trunked radio system, the radio must first hunt to locate a control channel of an in-range
trunked radio base station, and then successfully register with the station and the corresponding trunked radio
system via the control channel.
Hunting
After turn on, the radio automatically begins hunting for control channels of available trunked base stations.
During this time, it displays “Registering, Please Wait!” and the icon. Also, the LED indicator on the top
of the radio flashes orange slowly.
There are two hunting plans used for radio registration: TSCC Hunt with Fixed Control Channel and TSCC
Hunt with Flexible Control Channel. The exact plan used by the radio is pre-programmed by your radio dealer.
For additional information, refer to the
HUNT MENU section that begins on page 40.
Registration
If a located trunked base station allows the radio to register, the radio does so and it displays “Registered
Successfully!” At this time, radio is ready for normal use.
In this case, if registration with a different base station is desired, press the programmed Manual Current
Hunt shortkey to start another hunt.
