SETTING THE POWER LEVEL B
Each channel in your radio has a predefined transmit power level that can be changed.
•High power (S) allows you to reach a radio that is farther away.
•Low power (R) conserves the battery’s charge.
•Auto power (Conventional operation only) automatically sets the optimal power level based on the strength of the signal received. If the received signal is weak, the transmit level will be set to high, and vice versa.
