Signal Strength Meter

visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer

Auto Squelch/Maximum Range
•
Your microTALK radio is equipped with Auto Squelch, which
automatically shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise

received and extend the maximum range of your radio.
To briefly turn off auto squelch:
– Press the Light/Max Range button
for less than five seconds.
If you hear two beeps, you have turned
the maximum range extender on (see below).
To turn maximum range extender on:
– Press and hold the Light/Max Range button
for at least five seconds until you hear
two beeps which indicates the maximum
range extender is on.
To turn maximum range extender off:
– Press and release the Light/Max Range
button or change channels.
