Power/Back Button

Turning The Device On

Press and hold this button for 1-2 seconds.

Important

If you’re powering up a brand new M1KE which has never been turned on before, then connect it to a USB power supply first; otherwise it will not turn on.

Turning The Device Off

Press and hold this button until it turns off (2-3 seconds).

Note

About 3 seconds have to pass after turning off the device before it can be turned on again.

Warning

The device reboots (hard reset) if the power button is held more than about 8 seconds.

Short Press

If the button is pressed for a short time, it acts as a back button. You can use it to go back in the menu system.

Triple Press

If the button is pressed 3 times quickly while the Main screen is active, then the device will beep the currently active profile number and name in morse code. If the Unlink when power button pressed 3 times setting is enabled, then triple press behaves differently, see the Miscellaneous settings for details.

Up/Down Buttons

These buttons can be used to navigate in the menu system.

Some screens (like the Main screen) have additional functions for these buttons if they are pressed and held for a few seconds. These additional functions are displayed at the bottom of the screen:

On this screen:

Long pressing the Up button shows the Call Log screen
Triple pressing the Up button shows the Config profiles screen
Long pressing the Down button shows the PTT Destination Settings screen
Triple pressing the Down button toggles between the currently configured connector and the Null connector so you can quickly disconnect from the current network and call.

Pressing and holding the Down button while turning on the device enables the M1KE’s access point (AP) mode.

Volume Up/Down Buttons

These buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the device.

PTT (Push-To-Talk) Button

This button is used to transmit. Start speaking when the status LED becomes red, indicating that the transmission has started.
