Using a CTCSS Frequency

Follow these steps to set your transceiv- er to a CTCSS frequency and then acti- vate or deactivate CTCSS.

1.Turn VOLUME fully counterclock- wise to make sure power is turned off.

2.Remove the battery compartment cover (see “Installing the Battery Pack” on Page 8). You do not have to remove the battery pack.

3.Choose a CTCSS code from the table on the right. Then use a pointed object such as a straight- ened paper clip to set the position of each DIP switch inside the battery compartment to 1 (up) or 0 (down) corresponding to the setting for that CTCSS code.
