Scrolling Through the Menu Function •

By scrolling through the MENU function, you will be able to select or turn on preferred features of your radio. When scrolling through the Menu function, your radio features will be displayed in the same predetermined order:

Set Channels Set CTCSS Privacy Codes Set DCS Privacy Codes Set Vox On/Off Set Vox Sensitivity Set Call Tones 1-10 Set Roger Beep On/Off Set Key Tones On/Off


Privacy Codes • Your microTALK radio incorporates two advanced coded squelch systems that can help to reduce interference from other users on any given channel. CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) provides 38 privacy codes and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) provides 83 privacy codes. This provides a total of 121 Privacy Codes. Either system can be used on all channels, but both systems cannot be used on the same channel at the same time.

To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both the sending and receiving radios must be tuned to the same channel and to the same privacy code system (CTCSS or DCS) and privacy code number. Each channel will remember the last privacy code system and number you select. The privacy code 00 is not a privacy code, but allows all signals to be heard on a channel that is set to 00 on both the CTCSS and DCS systems.

Set CTCSS Privacy Codes •

The Scan icon will continue to be displayed when privacy code scan is on. Your radio will continue to scan privacy codes and stop as an incoming transmission is detected. Your radio will remain on that channel/privacy code for 10 seconds. During scanning (while receiving an incoming transmission), you can choose from the following:

Safety and General Information

Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation

Read. This Information Before Using Your Radio The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides published prior to July 2000.

Transmit and Receive Procedure Your two way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:

measuring standards compliance). Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy Your radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human being to radio frequency electromagnetic energy: Two Way Radio Operation When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5cm) away from the lips. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. Aircraft When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere

referred to above include fueling areas such as

below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or praticles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Operational Cautions

Antennas Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna.

If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chain touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
