CTCSS Privacy Codes
•
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) is an advanced
tone coding system allowing you to select one of 38 privacy codes
to reduce interference from other users on the channel.
If you are using a privacy code, both radios must be tuned
to the same channel and privacy code to communicate. Each
channel will remember the last privacy code you selected.
To select a privacy code:
1. After selecting a channel, press the Mode/
Power button until the small numbers next
to the channel number flash on the LCD.
2. Press the Channel Up or Channel Down
button to select a privacy code. You can
hold the Channel Up or Channel Down
button for fast advance.
3. When your desired privacy code is displayed:
a. Press the Mode/Power button to enter the
new setting and proceed to other functions.
b. Press the Lock button to enter the new
setting and return to Standby mode.
c. Do not press any buttons for 15 seconds
to enter the new setting and return to
Standby mode.
