Channel number (1-14)

Using the Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) Privacy Codes

This feature allows you to ignore transmissions from other trans- ceivers that are using the same channel. One of 38 privacy codes may be selected. The same code must also be selected on those transceivers which you desire to communicate with. When in use, the transciever will play only strong signals from other FRS units set to the same code number. Keep in mind, however, that this feature does not prevent others from listening to your transmissions. To activate or deactivate the CTCSS mode, press and hold the call button for 2 seconds, this will toggle the mode on or off. Upon acti- vation the current privacy code number will be displayed to the right of the current channel number on the LCD and will flash for 5 sec- onds to allow its adjustment. If no CTCSS number is displayed this indicates that the system is off.

To select a CTCSS code number, activate the system as described above and use the up or down keys to adjust the code number. If the CTCSS mode was already active, a momentary press of the call button will cause the current CTCSS number to flash on the LCD, allowing its adjustment. The FR-314 will return to its standby state if no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds, or if the call or PTT buttons are pressed. See the table at the end of this manual for the CTCSS frequency assignments
