5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off and Volume Control

1. Power On: Rotate the Power Switch/Volume Control knob clockwise until you hear a click. The radio will emit a tone, and the LED indicator may flash.
2. Adjust Volume: Continue rotating the Power Switch/Volume Control knob clockwise to increase volume, or counter-clockwise to decrease volume.
3. Power Off: Rotate the Power Switch/Volume Control knob counter-clockwise until you hear a click.

5.2 Channel Selection

The Pxton S1 has 16 channels. To select a channel:

1. Rotate the Channel Switch knob to select your desired channel (1-16).
2. Ensure all radios you wish to communicate with are set to the same channel and privacy code.

5.3 Transmitting and Receiving

1. To Transmit: Press and hold the PTT (Push-to-Talk) button on the side of the radio. Speak clearly into the microphone. The LED indicator will typically glow red.
2. To Receive: Release the PTT button. The radio will automatically switch to receive mode. The LED indicator will typically glow green when receiving a signal.

5.4 VOX (Voice Operated Exchange) Function

VOX allows for hands-free transmission. When VOX is enabled, the radio will automatically transmit when it detects your voice, without needing to press the PTT button.

• VOX sensitivity can be adjusted (5 levels) to suit your environment and voice volume. This feature typically requires programming software to enable and adjust.

5.5 TOT (Time-Out Timer)

The TOT function limits the duration of a single transmission to prevent accidental prolonged transmissions and conserve battery life. If the PTT button is held down for longer than the preset time, the radio will stop transmitting and emit a warning tone.

The emergency alarm function can be activated to send out an alert signal. The method of activation may vary depending on programming, but it is typically assigned to a programmable side button.

5.7 Scan Function

The scan function allows the radio to automatically scan through all programmed channels to detect active conversations. When an active channel is found, the radio will stop on that channel until the transmission ends.
