QT Noise Filtering

The QT noise-filtering feature helps to ensure uninterrupted communication with other Motorola radios that have this feature. This feature filters out unwanted transmissions from other radios. This is useful in places where there is heavy radio traffic, such as amusement parks or ski resorts.

1.Short press MENU until QTdisplays. The current setting On/Off will flash.

2.Press + or to turn noise filtering On or Off.

3.Press PTT to confirm your selection or MENU to continue set up.

1.Select the same channel and Interference Eliminator Code as the other radio.

2.Press to send a call tone. This allows your voice to pass through the QT noise filter on the receiving radio.

3.Press PTT and speak normally.

Note:If you skip step 2, the beginning of your message may not be heard on the receiving radio. For a 320-second period, starting after the last transmission, all transmissions received on the selected channel and code will pass through the QT noise filter.
