Transmit Power Selection Mode (GMRS Channels Only)
This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level to high
or low when using channels 1-7 and 15-22. Using low power, the unit
will have a lower transmit range, but battery life will be increased.
NOTE: You will find that for the majority of your needs, the low-power
setting will provide adequate communications on all channels;
there should seldom be any need to use high power, except in
situations where you need absolute maximum range. Using low
power will greatly extend battery life. We suggest you experi-
ment with switching between low and high power.
To access the transmitter power selection function:
- From GMRS standby mode, press the MODE Button 3 times until the
Po indication appears flashing on the display with a steady Hi or Lo
indication.
- Press the Up or Down button to toggle between the Hi and Lo se-
lections.
- Press the PTT button to confirm selection.
The display will indicate the current setting in standby mode.
Roger Beep Tone
The Roger Beep is a tone which is automatically transmitted whenever the
PTT button is released and the tone is enabled. This tone alerts the
receiving party that the transmission has been terminated intentionally.
