Transmit Power Selection Mode

This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level to high or low. When operating on FRS only channels (8-15), no power selec- tion is possible or is displayed. Using low power, the unit will have a lower transmit range, but battery life will be increased.

-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 Po indication on the display.

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

-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 3 is the most sensitive, and should be used in a relatively quiet surrounding. A VOX sensitivity of 1 is the least sensitive and should be used in a noisy sur- rounding.

To set the VOX sensitivity level:

-Press the MODE button 4 times (3 times for FRS) until the VO icon appears on the display accompanied by the flashing VOX icon and the numeral 1, 2 or 3.

-Press the Up or Down button to select the 1-3VOX level sensitivity.

-The VOX icon will disappear from the display unless VOX mode is enabled.
