Unlocking the Radio

Your radio may be locked at power on. To unlock the radio after powering on, enter the code at the prompt. The unlock code is set to 0000 by default. Your service provider may change this number before you receive your radio.

Holding Your Radio

The radio has two microphones:

• A top microphone for Simplex group, dispatcher, or private calls.
• A bottom microphone for Duplex, telephone-like calls.

When making Duplex calls (low audio), hold your radio as you would a telephone. Speak into the bottom microphone. Listen via the earpiece. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimetres from your head and body.

When making Simplex calls (high audio), hold your radio in a vertical position with the top microphone 5 to 10 centimetres away from your mouth. Speak into the top microphone. Listen via the radio internal speaker. Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimetres from your head and body.

Looking After Your Radio

Never leave your radio or battery in extreme temperatures (over +85 °C). For example, behind a windscreen in direct sunlight. The radio is submersible (compliant with the IP67 standard), but only with the battery and antenna attached. To clean your radio, use a moistened or antistatic cloth.
