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
Lock/Mode button until the small
numbers next to the channel number
flash on the display.
2. Press using the Channel Up or Channel Down
button to select a privacy code. You can hold
the
Up or Down button for fast advance.
3. When your desired privacy code is displayed,
choose one of the following:
a. Press the Lock/Mode button to enter the
new setting and proceed to other functions.
b. Press the Hi•Low/Enter 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.
