Transmit Power Selection Mode

The CTCSS mode can be turned off by selecting the oF icon as the set- ting.

NOTE: To communicate with other GMRS/FRS units, they must be switched to the same channel and CTCSS subcode. To commu- nicate with other GMRS/FRS units that do not have subcodes, switch your unit to the same channel with the subcode set to oF. The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from hearing your transmission. This will only allow you to ignore all traffic on a given channel not using the same subcode.

This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level to high

or low. When operating on FRS only channels (8-14), no power selection is possible or is displayed. Using low power, the unit will have a lower transmit range, but battery life will be increased.

To access the transmitter power selection function:

-From GMRS/FRS standby mode (shared channels 1-7 or GMRS only channel (15-22) selected), press the MODE Button three times until the power HI or LO indication appears with a flashing Pr indica- tion on the display.

-Press the Up or Down button to toggle between the High and Low selections.

-Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection.

VOX Sensitivity Level Selection

This selection enables you to set the sensitivity level to compensate for ambient noise in your immediate area. A VOX sensitivity of 2 represents high sensitivity, and should be used in a relatively quiet surrounding.

A VOX sensitivity of 1 represents low sensitivity and should be used in a noisy environment.

To set the VOX sensitivity level:
