•
lf the microphone is too sensitive, the transceiver can begin transmitting already when
there is only some noise in the background.
•
lf it is not sensitive enough, it will not pick up your voice when you start speaking. Be
sure to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to allow smooth
transmission.
•
On channel 1-5, press and hold the MONI and PTT, then switch on the transceiver, thus
to activate the VOX functions ON/OFF.
Automatic Battery Save circuit
The battery save function will decrease the amount of power used when a signal is not being
received and no operations are being performed (no keys are being pressed, and no switches are
being turned for a certain time).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for more than 10 seconds, Battery
Save turns ON.
When a signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Saver turns OFF.
BATTERY LOW ALERT
Battery Low Alert reminds you to recharge the battery when it becomes discharged.
When the battery power is very low, an alert tone will sound and the LED indicator will blink red.
Please recharge or replace the battery pack.
MONITOR
When you are receiving and no signals are present, the squelch function can mute the speaker,
so you can not hear the background noise. If you want to switch the squelch function OFF, press
and hold [MONI] button. It is very helpful when you want to adjust the volume level and receive
weak signals.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCL)
Busy Channel Lock-out function can be turned ON/OFF with PC program software on every
channel.
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may be using the same
channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use will cause your
transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release
the PTT switch to stop the tone and return to receive mode.
CTCSS/DCS (depends on PC programming or default setting)
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) / (Digital Coded Squelch)
You may sometimes want to hear calls from only specific persons or groups. In this case, use the
selective call which allows you to ignore unwanted calls from other persons who are using the
same frequency.
