RADIO CALL INFORMATION

RADIO CALL INFORMATION

REPEATER OR TALKAROUND MODE

Talkaround Mode enables you to communicate with another radio when either:

• the repeater is not operating

—or—

•your radio is out of the repeater’s range but within communicating distance of another radio.

Press the Repeater/Talkaround button (only available if programmed by your dealer) to toggle between the two modes. A positive indicator tone indicates that the radio is in talkaround mode, while a negative indicator tone indicates that the radio is in repeater mode.

SETTING TIGHT OR NORMAL SQUELCH

Use this feature to filter out nuisance (unwanted) calls and/or background noise. However, tightening squelch could cause calls from remote locations to be filtered out as well. In this case, normal squelch may be more desirable.

Press the Squelch button (only available if programmed by your dealer) to toggle between tight and normal squelch. A positive indicator tone indicates that the radio is operating in tight squelch, while a negative indicator tone indicates that the radio is operating in normal squelch.

SETTING THE POWER LEVEL

Your radio has a predefined transmit power level that can be changed.

•High power allows the radio to transmit over greater distances.

•Low power conserves the battery’s charge.

Press the Power Level button (only available if programmed by your dealer) to toggle between low and high transmit power level. A positive indicator tone indicates that the radio is in high power mode, while a negative indicator tone indicates that the radio is in low power mode.
