REPEATER OPERATION

warm up for 24 hours after turning the power on.
After turning on the power, wait for approximately 10 seconds for
the VCXO or 5 minutes for the OCXO (when mounting) to warm up.
During this time, the CH/STATUS Display will blink. The keys will
function when they are pressed.

unmute the audio. Rotate to adjust the audio. Turn the VOLUME
