LOW BATTERY WARNING
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack.
CHANNEL ANNUNCIATION
When changing the channel using the Channel selector, an audio voice will announce the selected channel number, after you stop changing the channel. (Channel Annunciation can be activated or deactivated by your dealer.)
QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling on your transceiver channels. A QT tone/DQT code is a sub- audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/DQT signalling matches your transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own private channel while using QT/DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
