During the transmission, the LED (6) illuminates red.
After the release of the PTT key (7), the radio returns to reception mode.
Reception
During signal reception the LED (6) illuminates green. .
If the reception frequency uses a CTCSS/DCS code, only signals with the same

KEY FUNCTIONS
PTT Key (7)
The PTT key (7) is located on the left side of the radio. As long as the PTT key is pushed,
the radio is in transmission mode. During transmission the LED (6) illuminates green.
With the optional software, the function PTT-ID can be set up. This function will trans-
mit a DTMF call, triggered by the PTT key. A DTMF call will be transmitted when pres-
sing and/or releasing the PTT key.
Multi Function Keys (8) (9)
The triple-state multi function keys (8) (9) are located below the PTT key (7). The
three different triggers are released by 1) pushing the key shortly (short beep),
2) holding the key for 1 second (short double beep) and 3) holding it for 3 seconds.
Each key can be programmed with two functions. The 3rd function is preset with VOX
On/Off for the PF1 key (8) and announcement of the VOX sensitivity for the key PF2
(9). If the VOX function is not activated via software, the key PF2 (9) will also just an-
nounce the deactivated state of the VOX function. Please note that voice annuncia-
tion must be activated.
If no function is programmed, a short beep tone will be emitted when pressing the keys.
The keys can be programmed with these functions:
Squelch Off, Monitor, Current Channel Power Inquiry, Scan, Reverse, Talk
Around, Check Power, Call 1/2, Power Change, Alert Key
With activated voice annunciation, some functions are announced: With others a beep
tone will declare the active/inactive state.
By preset, the key PF1 (8) is programmed with the Squelch Off function and the PF2
key with the Scan function for PMR and FreeNet. The commercial radios are only pro-
grammed with the PF1 (Squelch Off).
Squelch Off
The squelch function is deactivated and the typical frequency noise is audible if no
signal is present. Use this function to listen to very weak signals that would not pass
the squelch.
Monitor
The monitor function will deactivate the CTCSS/DCS squelch for signals. If a
CTCSS/DCS code has been programmed for the channel, signals with another
CTCSS/DCS code will be audible when using the monitor function.
Current Channel Power Inquiry
With activated voice annunciation, the current tx-power setting High or Low for the
selected channel is announced.
