29、 BASIC OPERATION Switching the Power ON/OFF 1Press (POWER) briefly to switch the transceiver power ON. A high pitched double beep sounds and a Power-ON message page 92 appears briefly, followed by the frequency and other indicators. 2To switch the transceiver OFF, press (POWER) again. When you turn

30、the transceiver OFF, a low pitched double beep sounds. The transceiver stores the current frequency and parameters when it is turned OFF and recalls these parameters the next time you turn the transceiver ON. Adjusting the Volume Turn the VOL control clockwise to increase the audio output level and

If you are not receiving a signal, press and hold MONI/SQL to unmute the speaker, then adjust the VOL control to a comfortable audio output level. 18 Adjusting the Squelch The purpose of Squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals are present

32、. With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually receiving signals. The higher the selected squelch level, the stronger the signals must be to receive. The appropriate squelch level depends on the ambient RF noise conditions. 1Press F, MONI/SQL. The current squelch lev

33、el appears. 2Turn the Tuning control to adjust the level. Select the level at which the background noise is just eliminated when no signal is present. The higher the level, the stronger the signals must be to receive. 6 different levels can be set. (0: Minimum 5: Maximum; 2 is the default value) 3Pr

34、ess any key other than LAMP, MONI/SQL to store the new setting and exit the squelch adjustment. 19 Transmitting 1To transmit, hold the transceiver approximately 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, then press and hold PTT and speak into the microphone in your normal tone of voice. The LED lights red and

35、 the bar-graph meter appears. If you press PTT while you are outside of the transmission coverage, a high pitched error beep sounds. 2When you finish speaking, release PTT. Note: If you continuously transmit for longer than the time specified in Menu No. 23 (default is 10 minutes) page 94, the inter

36、nal time- out timer generates a warning beep and the transceiver stops transmitting. In this case, release PTT and let the transceiver cool down for a while, then press PTT again to resume transmission page 116. ISelecting an Output Power Selecting a lower transmission power is the best way to reduc

37、e battery consumption, if communication is still reliable. You can configure different power levels for transmission page 95. Press F, PTT to cycle between “” (high), “” (medium), and “” (low). 20 Selecting a Frequency IVFO Mode This is the basic mode for changing the operating frequency. Turn the T

38、uning control clockwise to increase the frequency and counterclockwise to decrease the frequency. IMHz Mode If the desired operating frequency is far away from the current frequency, it is quicker to use the MHz Tuning Mode. To adjust the MHz digit: 1Press F. The MHz digit blinks. 2Turn the Tuning c

39、ontrol to select the desired MHz value. 3After selecting the desired MHz value, press F to exit the mode and return to normal VFO Mode. 4Continue adjusting the frequency as necessary, using the Tuning control. 21 IDirect Frequency Entry (TH-K2AT/ ET/ K4AT only) In addition to turning the Tuning cont

40、rol, there is another way to select the frequency. When the desired frequency is far away from the current frequency, you can directly enter a frequency using the numeric keypad. 1Press VFO. You must be in the VFO Mode to make the direct frequency entry. 2Press #. 3Press the numeric keys (0 to 9) to

41、 enter your desired frequency. allows you to complete the MHz digits entry. Pressing # fills all remaining digits (the digits you did not enter) with 0 and completes the entry. For example, to select 145.000 MHz, press 1, 4, 5 and press # to complete the entry. If you want to revise the MHz digits o

42、nly, leaving the kHz digits as they are, press VFO in place of #.
