Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the walkie talkie on. Rotate it counter-clockwise until a click is heard to turn it off.

5.2 Volume Adjustment

Rotate the Power/Volume knob to adjust the listening volume to a comfortable level.

5.3 Channel Selection

Use the Channel Selector knob to choose one of the 16 available channels. Ensure all radios intended for communication are set to the same channel.

5.4 Transmitting and Receiving

• To transmit, press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the side of the walkie talkie. Speak clearly into the microphone. Release the PTT button to finish transmitting.
• To receive, simply ensure your walkie talkie is on and set to the correct channel. The radio will automatically receive incoming transmissions.

5.5 VOX Function (Hands-Free Operation)

The VOX (Voice Operated Exchange) function allows you to transmit without pressing the PTT button. This is particularly useful when using an earpiece.

• Activate the VOX function via the menu or a dedicated button (refer to your specific device's button layout).
• When VOX is active, the radio will automatically transmit when it detects your voice.
• Adjust VOX sensitivity if needed to prevent accidental transmissions or missed speech.

5.6 Emergency Alarm

In an emergency, you can activate the alarm function:

• Long press the designated emergency key (refer to your device's button layout for the specific key).
• This will activate both a local alarm on your device and transmit an alarm signal to other radios on the same channel.
