[. . . ] The front half of the case high-impact polycarbonate plastic, while the transceiver chassis/heat sink is die-cast alloy. A choice of 4 rechargeable Ni-Cd packs or a dry cell battery case are available. The LCD (display) has selectable lighting modes, and shows all significant frequency digits and most programmable functions, plus relative signal strength and power output. Two independent VFOs and up to 100 freely tunable memories are programmable from the knob and keypad. [. . . ] For all dual watch modes, owappears at the bottom left of the display. During V/M M/M, and I-//M dual watch, the sub channel memory is checked every five seconds for activity (you will see the main and sub channels briefly switch as this occurs). For VN dual watch, the sub channel is sampled much faster (every 200 ms), and this checking is "transparent" to the operator. If a signal appears on the subchannel, two beeps sound, the receiver jumps to the subchannel, then Dwand the decimal on the display blinks. Dual watch resumes according to how you set the scan-resume mode (5 sets. Otherwise, you can operate on the main channel VFO, or select other memories. Note that you can use any memory as a subchannel for V/M Dual Watch, but only memory L' I(- I for M/M. You can use Memory Tune during Dual Watch, if you activate Memory Tune first, although it may be easier to copy the memory into a VFO instead. You cannot, however, switch VFOs, or between memory and VFO operation (pressing the necessary buttons cancels Dual Watch). If you want to talk on the subchannel, you have to recall it, or press `ys* to quit Dual Watch operation. Naming Memories NFWE - 03 - You can assign a name of up to 4 characters to memories, and have it displayed with name or frequency. There are 48 different characters for naming, including a space and 11 special symbols. Repeater shift and tone setting indicators are displayed, although they cannot be changed. In fact, the alternate functions of most keys are disabled, as well as the functions accessed by holding the knob down. Only these functions are available, as indicated: l Locking the Controls L 13 E I{ - II- The keypad buttons, knob and PTT can each be "locked" (disabled), to prevent inadvertent transmissions or adjustments. To change the locking scheme to lock the knob or PTT: m Hold the knob for ?4 second, then turn it to display t 0 1: 1: - I1 - . Press the knob momentarily, and turn it to select the items to lock : QJ = keypad, Qs = DlAL (knob), @ = Pl'T button, or their combinations: CD&@, @&9, @&&, or oO&@&@ Hi/Low TX Power: "rcl l Channel Selection: knob or keypad .

To limit accidental transmissions, such as if the radio slips between the car seat with the PTT squeezed, the time-out timer shuts off the transmitter after continuous transmission of 2. 5 minutes. To change the time-out duration: a Press the knob down for W second, then turn it to display TOT -L?I?-. f"`J Press the knob momentarily, then turn it to select I, 1?. 5, 5, ftl minutes (or DFr, to disable the timer). g Press the PTT to save and exit. Tone Squelch Modes These systems allow silently monitoring until a call directed to you is received, and offer privacy on an otherwise busy channel. CTCSS Tone Squelch Note - CTCSS decode (tone squelch) operation requires the optional FTT-12 keypad, and a@ cannot be selected until the unit is installed. , . . -. -. . -_-. . _ To activate CTCSS or DCS operation, press a: 88 (encode) appears when the CTCSS tone generator is activated for transmission only. E@EI (encode & decode) appears when the CTCSS tone squelch is activated for both tx & rx (only signals "encoded" with the matching tone open the squelch). [. . . ] With both radios turned off, turn each one on while holding both the knob down and the PIT pressed (c L D!J appears on both radios). m Press the middle (MonitoVTCall) button on the left side of the destination radio ( 1:RI T appears). Press the PTT on the source radio, WJI) blinks and tJR f T blinks on the other radio as data is transferred. CLONE DATA If successful, c L Cf!J reappears on both displays. Note - if your cloning attempt fails, recheck the clone cable connections, and ensure that the receiver squelch threshold level on the destination radio is set to below level "9". I 1 After correcting the problem, if you want to try cloning again, press the PTT to reset the source radio, or turn the destination radio off and back on (while holding the knob and button). . --""`-""`--"-`-"--"------------*, _-_-----_------------------- Detail of clone cable construction.
