Operations
Power on/off and volume adjustment
Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio
on. Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to
adjust the volume level as you prefer. To turn the radio off,
rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a mechani-
cal "click".
Transmission
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the
same channel. Briefly press the Side key 1 to enable the
Monitor feature in order to make sure that the frequency is
not busy, and then press the PTT button. Release the PTT
key to receive. Only one user at a time can talk during radio
communications. Therefore, it is important not to transmit
when you are receiving a communication and use the
transmission mode sparingly to allow other users to talk.
Transmission consumes a significant amount of energy and
should therefore be used sparingly to prolong the battery
life. If you are unable to contact a station that you have no
problems in receiving, the station may be using CTCSS
tones or DCS codes.
Monitor
The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch,
in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the
Squelch permanently opened. Hold down the Side key 1 to
enable such function.
Scan
This function can be activated only by means of the optional
programming software. To enable the Scan function, all 16
channels must be programmed. If you turn on the radio on
channel 16, the scanning will automatically start. Whenever
any signal is detected, the scanning will stop on a busy
channel. If the PTT is pressed, you will transmit on the
latest busy channel. Channel 16 is the priority channel;
therefore if you don't pick up any signal when you press
PTT, the radio will transmit on channel 16.
Squelch
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels
and allows receiving even weak signals. F8 has 10 different
Squelch levels that can be set by programming software: 0
means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9
you will have different levels of noise reduction.
