5 3 BASIC OPERA TION ■ Receiving and transmitting CAUTION: T ransmitting without an antenna may dam- age the transceiver . q Rotate [VOL] clockwise to turn power ON, then set to the 10 o’clock position. w Push [V/M] to select memory mode or VFO mode. e Select the desired memory channel or VFO frequency with the [ Y ]/[ Z ] keys. • When receiv[...]

6 3 BASIC OPERA TION ■ Setting squelch level The transceiver has a noise squelch circuit to mute undesired noise while receiving no signal. ➥ T o open the squelch: Push and hold [SQL] to open the squelch. This is useful to listen to weak signals that do not open the squelch. - “ BUSY ” appears on the display . ➥ T o close the squelch: Rel[...]

7 3 BASIC OPERA TION ■ Dial select function Use the dial select function to adjust the tuning behavior of the [ Y ]/[ Z ] keys—use 1 MHz tuning when you want to change the frequency in large increments; use regular tuning when you want to change the frequency in smaller incre- ments. q Push [V/M] to select VFO mode. w Push [V/M] for 2 sec. one [...]

8 4 SCAN OPERA TION ■ Memory (lockout) scan Memory scan repeatedly scans all programmed memory channels, except those set as lockout channels. q Push [V/M] to select memory mode, if necessary . • “ ” appears. w Puch [SCAN] to start scan. - T o change the scan direction, push [ Y ] or [ Z ]. e Push [SCAN] again to stop the scan. MR MEMORY LO[...]

10 5 MEMORY PROGRAMMING ■ Memory names ï Programming memory names q Select the memory channel to be programmed: ➥ Push [V/M] to select memory mode. ➥ Push [ Y ] or [ Z ] to select the memory channel. w Push [M/W] for 5 sec. to enter memory name writing mode. • The first character of the name flashes. e Push [SCAN] or [SQL] as many times [...]

11 6 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Initial set mode Initial set mode is accessed at power ON and allows you to set seldom-changed settings, in this way you can “customize” transceiver operations to suit your preferences and operating style. D Entering initial set mode q While pushing [V/M] + [ ], turn power ON. • The transceiver enters initial set mode[...]

■ Charging precautions NEVER attempt to charge dry cell bat- teries. This will cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiver . NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time. Charging may not occur under temper- atures of 10°C (50°F) or over tempera- tures of 40°C (104°F). When using BC-1 19: If the charge ind[...]
