Remove the screws holding battery track and rear cover. Locate the "CONTROL UNIT".
Close jumpers 3, 5, AND 7 if not allready closed, 6 must be open. Let other jumpers unchanged.

Reassemble the radio.

Turn on the radio and program it as following:
"1" 135.000 PRESS VFO THIS IS LOWER RX LIMIT
"2" 185.000 PRESS VFO THIS IS UPPER RX LIMIT
"3" 135.000 PRESS VFO THIS IS LOWER TX LIMIT
"4" 185.000 PRESS VFO THIS IS UPPER TX LIMIT
Press and hold MR, VFO and 2 while TURNING ON if you need to reset or reprogram the radio.

Symbols: "+": simultaneously; "-->": after.

Current consumption: 6.5 mA Auto Power off
                     8.0 mA Stby (Saver on)
                     170 mA RX max. Squelched: 1/3 of this value
                     1.5  A TX max (5 W); 600 mA TX min (0.5 W).

To charge a battery through the jack, the supply voltage must be at least
2 volts higher than the nominal battery voltage: 18 Hours for FNB-27.

Battery below 6.5 volts: icon on LCD. Worst: it blink.

Beeper on/off: FM --> 2 --> FM --> 2

LOCK dial knob: FM --> 0 --> 5

1 MHz steps: FM --> ^ or dial

RPT offset: FM --> 0 --> 6

Memory storage: QRG (VFO) --> hold FM (after dial set mem number) --> FM

Memory separate TX QRG: QRG (VFO) --> hold PTT + FM

Memory tuning: MR acts like VFO (to store other QRG too).

Memory mask: hold FM --> MR;

Unmask: --> hold FM, select with dial --> MR (NOT FM!)

Scan subband: memory QRGs Low and Up --> MR --> ^

Scan pause mode: FM --> 7 --> FM (7)

Ringer: (test) FM --> 0 --> 0;
                        --> 2 (off);
                        --> 8 open squelch X bell (1 beep)

DTMF: FM --> PAGE memory (dial) 0 & 7 read only. 1 ur personal ID

DTMF: to RX ID, FM --> PAGE --> FM (then select mem) --> FM (on/off)

DTMF: display: FM --> 0 --> 4

PAGING: my 3 ID, "*", 3 ur ID. FM --> 0 --> 8: RING instead Squelch open

DTMF delay: FM --> 0 --> 1 (450/750 ms)

Tel DTMF store: FM --> CALL, hold FM (select memory number via KEY) -->
                       hold FM, key. To DEL : PTT; To terminate: CALL
                       To replay: press mem  number. CALL returns to QRG
                       To TX: press the number of the DTMF memory

DTMF: FM --> 0 --> FM --> 1: to hold TX 2 seconds every number:
                      --> 3: own tone sequence (= mem 0) for A.P.Off
                      --> 5: DTMF instead single-tones for keys
                      --> 6: fast DTMF playback (10/7.5 digits/sec
                      --> 4: disable DTMF keypad (9: rows, 8: columns)

Resetting the CPU: hold MR + VFO + turn TRX on

Auto Power Off: FM --> 0 --> 3. Switch TRX off and back on for use

SAVER: RX off 3 secs after squelch close (30 ms on); 5 = 1000 ms sleep

BUSY LED: FM --> 0 --> 7 (on/off)
