Monitor button
Pressing and holding the
MON
button lets you hear white noise so you can adjust the volume
level of the radio level when not receiving a signal. The
MON
should be used to check
activity on current channel before transmitting, and in cases where the connection to another
station becomes weak and interrupted.
Time out Timer
The Time-out Timer (TOT) feature helps extend battery life by preventing accidental
continuous transmission. The radio will emit a warning tone if the PTT button is pressed
continuously for 60 seconds and the radio will stop transmitting.

Your radio has two transmit power levels, 500 mW and appr. 50 mW. To select the power
levels:

Press

Note
: Please use low power wherever it is possible. Transmitting with Hi Power will result in

more than enough to use the LOW power position (50 mW)
