Operation
3.1
Switching on the walkie-talkies
To switch on the walkie-talkie, hold the On/Off button pressed until a
signal tone sounds.
The display will be illuminated for some seconds and all the symbols
will be shown in the display. After this the display will show the
currently selected channel.
3.2
Channel selection
The walkie-talkies have 8 different transmission channels, which are
released by the European Committee for Radio Communications as "
Private Mobile Radio" channels, known as PMR for short.
In order to be able to speak between two walkie-talkies, both
units must be set to the same channel. Choose between the 8
channels by pressing the CHANNEL switch on the right-hand
side up or down. The display will show the channel that is
currently selected. You can also make contact with other units
that make use of the PMR channels and which are set to the
same frequency. Please refer to the technical data for more
information.
3.2.1
Changing the call code
Normally, all calls on the selected channel are sent to all walkie-talkies
that are in receiving range. You may therefore also hear calls that are
not intended for you when other people are using walkie-talkies on the
same channel in the vicinity. In order to prevent this, it is possible to
define a call code. Check between yourselves which code has been
selected so that your partner's call signals are indicated on each
walkie-talkie.
