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.
