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 preprogrammed Squelch button (see page 6) to toggle between tight and normal squelch.
SETTING THE POWER LEVEL
Each channel in your radio has a predefined transmit power level that can be changed:
•High power allows you to reach a radio that is farther away.
•Low power conserves the battery’s charge.
•Auto power 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
Note: Be aware that a message received from a nearby radio might change your radio’s power level to low. This may cause radios that are farther away not to receive your transmis- sions.
Press the preprogrammed Power Level button (see page 6) to toggle between low and high power.
