USING YOUR FR-530
Turning the Transceiver On and Off
Pressing the power button (1) for 2 seconds will activate the unit.
The speaker will sound a beep tone to confirm the transceiver’s
activation. In addition, the transceiver will perform a 1-second
power-on self-test, whereby the LCD display will show all functional
items, including a test of the 2-digit channel display (
88
). To turn the
unit off, simply press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The
unit will confirm its shutdown with a single beep tone.
Volume Level
Audio reception volume is controlled by the Up (10) and the Down
(9) button. Momentarily pressing either button will raise or lower
the volume level. A graph on the right side of the display will show
the volume level setting.
Call Button (8)
When the call button is pressed, the FR-530 will transmit a 3-second
ringing sound to other transceiver’s tuned to the same channel. This
feature can be used to signal other parties that voice communication
is desired.
Low Battery Alert
When the batteries are in need of replacement or charging, the low
battery icon
will appear on the LCD display and the transceiver
will sound a 1-minute beep to alert the user. If unattended the unit will
eventually turn off.
Monitor Button
You can monitor channel activity by pressing the Monitor button (3).
