The display bac klighting can be turned ON continuously or tur ned OFF , if desired. ➥ Push any s witch except [PTT] to turn the backlighting ON. • When the 5 or 10 sec. timer is set, the bac klighting wi[...]

7 3 BASIC OPERA TION ■ Repeater operation A repeater amplifies receiv ed signals and retransmits them on a different channel, allo wing you to communicate ov er greater distances with improv ed reliability . When using a re- peater , the transmit channel is shifted from the receive chan- nel by 30 channels . q Select the receive channel from 1 to[...]

8 4 SCAN OPERA TION ■ Scan types The transceiv er has 3 scan types with tag functions and 4 re- sume conditions providing scanning v ersatility . T ag channels are independently set for open, group and pri- ority scans. Initially , all channels may be set as tag channels f or all scans. ■ Open scan Open scan searches f or tr ansmitted signals a[...]

9 4 SCAN OPERA TION ■ Gr oup and priority scans Group and prior ity scans repeatedly watch a priority channel while scanning only speci fi ed channels. This is useful when waiting f or calls on the prior ity channel or se ver al specified channels. Group and prior ity scans beha ve diff erently when transmit- ting. During group scan, transmissio[...]

10 4 SCAN OPERA TION ■ Scan resume condition The scan resume condition can be selected as a pause or timer scan. q Push [LO W] f or 2 sec. to enter set mode. w Push [LO W] se ver al times until “ SC ” appears. e Push [ Y ] or [ Z ] to select the scan resume timer . - “ t-05 ” : Scan pauses 5 sec. while receiving a signal. - “ t-10 ” :[...]

11 5 T ONE SQUELCH OPERA TION ■ T one squelch operation The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con- taining a matching CTCSS (subaudib le) tone . Y ou can silently wait f or calls from group members using the same tone. q Set the desired channel. w Set the desired CTCSS tone in set mode. • See p . 7 f or tone frequencies and progra[...]

■ Charging precautions NEVER attempt to charge dr y cell bat- teries. This will cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiv er. NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time. Charging ma y not occur under temper- atures of 10 ° C (50 ° F) or ov er tempera- tures of 40 ° C (104 ° F). When using BC-119: If the [...]
