AUTO-SQUELCH

Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you won’t hear anything on a channel un- less someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel. To turn off auto-squelch (so you can hear weaker, distant transmis- sions), hold down MON (monitor). Release MON to turn auto-squelch back on.

AUTO POWER SAVE

The automatic power save feature extends battery life by reducing the power the radio uses until it receives a signal or you press a key. Because the receiving radio might be in this mode, wait about 1 second after pressing PTT to allow the receiving radio to come to full power before speaking into the microphone.

FCC INFORMATION

Important: Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is illegal to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments made to your radio must be made by a qualified technician using the proper test equipment. To be safe and sure:

• Never open your radio’s case.
