Companding is a feature that allows further
improvement of voice quality. It compresses your
voice at transmission and expands it when receiving
while simultaneously reducing extraneous noise.

receiving radios must have this feature activated.
Battery Charge Status
You can check battery charge status if your dealer
has preprogrammed one of the programmable
buttons. Hold down the preprogrammed Battery
Indicator button. The charge status is shown by the
color of the radio’s LED indicator.
