BATTERY SAVING
The Battery Saving function decreases the power con-
sumption when no signal being received and no operation
being performed (no keys are being pressed , and no
switches are being turned .)
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Low battery warning alerts you, when the battery needs
to be recharged while transmitting. If the battery power
goes below a certain value , the LED light will blink red,
and the radio will stop transmitting .
MONITOR
When there is no signal received , the squelch circuit
on the radio automatically mutes the speaker, so you will
not hear background noise. To manually deactivate the
squelch, press the Monitor key, which is useful when
you want to adjust the volume level or when you need
to receive a weak signal.
OFF
When this function is selected, no operation is performed.
MONITOR TOGGLE
When this key is pressed once, the green lamp lights and
squelch un-mutes if a carrier is present, regardless of the
specified Signalling (including Option Signalling). If pressed
again, the green lamp turns off and squelch mutes.
Note: If you press this key while Option Signalling is
matched, Option Signalling is reset.
MONITOR MOMENTARY
While pressing this key, green lamp lights and the squelch
un-mutes If a carrier is present, regardless of the specified
Signalling (including Option Signalling). If released, the green
lamp disappears, and the squelch mutes.
Note: If you press this key while Option Signalling is decoding,
Option Signalling is reset.
SQUELCH OFF
Press this key to force the squelch to un-mute, and the
green lamp lights. If this key is released, the squelch mutes
and the green lamp disappears.
Note: If you press this key while Option Signalling is decoding,
Option Signalling is reset.
CTCSS&DCS
1.Some channels may have preprogrammed CTCSS
/DCS. A CTCSS/DCS is a subaudible tone which allows
you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are
using the same channel.
2.You will not receive the signal that has a tone different
from the one set in your radiol. Likewise, signals that you
transmit will only be received by parties whose CTCSS/DCS
are the same as yours.
Note: Though you use a CTCSS/DCS channel which can
prevent you from receiving unwanted signals, it does not mean your
calls will be private.
