Power and Volume
Before turn the power on, make sure you have attached the battery and antenna as described in Chapter 1, Initial
Setup.
Turning the Unit On
To power the radio on, simply rotate the volume/power knob clockwise until you hear a "click". If your radio powers on
correctly there should be an audible double beep after about one second and the display will show a message or flash
the LCD depending on settings for about one second (see "38 PON MSG - Power On Message" in Appendix B' Menu
definitions). Then it will display a frequency or channel. If the Voice prompt is enabled, the voice will announce "frequency
mode" or "channel mode".

Working the menu system and the section called "1 STEP - Frequency Step1" in Appendix B, Menu definitions.
You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy. However, the radio will floor

with greater than 1kHz resolution (such as 145.6875 MHz in the example below), always round your input up.
