Kenwood VC-H1 Two-Way Radio User Manual


 
QUICK USE
If you have a handy transceiver, the steps given here will allow you to try SSTV with
your friend right away.
Note: To correctly receive or transmit images, you and your friend have to select the same SSTV mode. If you
prefer using a mode other than Robot (color) 36 which is the factory default, see “SELECTING A SSTV MODE”
{page 7} and “RECEIVING IMAGES” {page 10}.
Confirm that the VC-H1 has
been correctly connected with
the transceiver {page 5}.
Turn ON the power to the
transceiver.
Select the same frequency as
the other party.
On the transceiver:
Slide the PWR switch upward
to turn the power ON.
The TX/RX indicator lights
green.
On the VC-H1:
Press [S] to activate both the camera
and LCD monitor.
To transmit an image:
While looking at the LCD monitor,
turn and focus the camera onto an
object.
Press [TX] to capture and transmit
the image.
The TX/RX indicator goes out.
The TX/RX indicator lights orange
while an image is being received.
If the TX/RX indicator is green even
when the monitor is deactivated by the
Battery Saver {page 11}, the VC-H1
can receive an image.
You need not press the PTT switch.
The TX/RX indicator lights red during
transmission.
A horizontal line appears and slowly
moves downward to show the progress
of transmission.
To receive and store an image in memory:
When an image signal is received,
the image is displayed on the monitor.
To store the received image in
memory, press [MR].
