Tips for use

• There are usually some radio settings that need changing before the memory buttons will function - look for "external keypad" in the radio manual for details.
• Do not connect two microphones at the same time. If connecting a microphone via the ContestConsole, use either the 3.5mm socket or the 8 pin socket, not both.
• On some radios, an external storage device (memory card or USB stick) might be needed for voice memories to work.
