Scan mode
Your AE 6690 has an automatic channel scan, which can be used to observe all channels
consequently.
First choose the mode (AM or FM). Adjust the muting control to the point at which the receiver
should open (see also 'Adjusting squelch').
Start channel scan
•
Briefly press the button SC
•
Scan starts almost immediately by scanning all the channels upwards
•
Scanning is stopped at each signal worth receiving and you can listen in to the conversation.
If you leave the set alone it will re-start a) after the communication on the channels has stopped or
b) after about 5 seconds observation time, if the communication should last longer.
Stop channel scan
•
You can stop the scan at any time by pressing the SC button a second time.
•
Pressing the transmission button will also automatically stop the scan modus.
Transmitting and correct use of microphone
With the transmission button (Push To Talk) on the side of the microphone you can switch
between receiving and transmitting:
• Press PTT button to transmit.
Your radio is equipped with a TX control LED, this will light when You are transmitting
on an allowed channel in an allowed mode.
• Release PTT button again to switch back to receiving.
When the transmission PTT button is depressed, you can speak from a distance of about 5-10 cm
into the microphone. After pressing the PTT button, please wait about ½ second before You start
speaking. Please remember- that different from GSM phones- You share one channel common for
transmit and receive, and your transmitter and the receiver(s) on the distant side need a certain
time to switch on. The modulation amplifier of your AE 6690 is sensitive enough and enables you
in most cases to speak with even more distance, depending on how loud your voice is. An
automatic regulator ensures that your partner always hears your signal at the same volume.
It is best to test the best distance from the microphone for yourself with the help of another station.
