Maintenance Your Two Way adio is an electronic product of exact design and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product f many years. Do not attempt to open the radio f any reason! The radio s precision mechanics and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; f the same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated f maximum perfmance. Unauthized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty. Do not ste the adio under the sunshine in hot areas. igh temperatures can shten the life of electronic devices, and warp melt certain plastics. Do not ste the radio in dusty and dirty areas. Keep the adio dry. ainwater damp will crode electronic circuits. If it appears that the adio diffuses peculiar smell smoke, please shut off its power immediately and take off the charger battery from the radio. Do not transmit without antenna. CT user s manual

When the two leds do not blink anyme, the CD of the main radio shows COPYING and the sub-radio reboots: this means that cloning is finished. Befe using the radios, turn them off and then on. Channel/Frequency Mode conversion (/M) To switch between channel and frequency mode push /M. TX z Call Tone Press PTT + to send z call tone. This function is useful f communications through repeaters. TX/X everse function () The reverse frequency function interchanges the TX frequency with X. This function is very helpful when you operate with a repeater; you can check whether it is possible to receive the communication from the other part without the use of the repeater. Note: you can turn the reverse function on when you are operating in simplex mode (same tx and rx frequency). owever it does not change the tx and rx frequency. CT user s manual
