This Transceiver does not have a Front panel or even a Remote Head. All the Controls are built into the Microphone. The microphones are coloured either Yellow for a Rural Fires VHF transceiver Red for the Urban UHF transceiver Green for Fireground UHF transceiver
	These Transceivers have a `Keylock'. This prevents inadvertent change of channel when the microphone is bumped.
	To release the keylock, hold the bottom left button `XP' down for 3 seconds. You are then able to use other buttons to change channel etc. The Keylock automatically reverts to `On' after 3 seconds of non-activity.
	To Select a Channel :-
	Release the keylock.
	Use the `CH UP' or `CH DN' Keys on the right of the microphone face.
	(For rapid selection, the keys may be held down).
	Quick Channel Selection:-
	To goto Firecom or the local RFS Repeaters.
	Release the keylock.
	The buttoms `M' & `I' (top row, left & middle) have been programmed for these ch.
	and pressing them goes direct to those channels.
	Pressing the buttom again returns to the previous channel.
	Simplex or Repeater Talkaround:-
	Release the keylock.
	Press the middle key `RTA' on the bottom row.
	To remove, press as before.
	Scan the `Scan Group' Channels:-
	(Scan has not been programmed on this radio).

These come in two varities; the Local Control model, whereby the control panel is on the front of the transceiver, and the Remote Control model, whereby the controls are on a separate box which is then joined to the transceiver by a cable.
	To Select a Channel :- Use the `Up' or `Down' buttons. (For rapid selection, the keys may be held down). Simplex or Repeater Talkaround:-  This is NOT available. However, because this transceiver is normally used only in a secondary capacity, it was thought that it would never be required to talk to the Portable Repeaters on channels 1 to 8, thus those channels were programmed as Simplex or Talkaround. This facilitates their usage for brigade liaison.
Local Control	Scan the `Scan Group' Channels:-
	This has NOT been programmed. (The EProms were programmed as a production run, and it would have been difficult to produce individual brigade requirements).
