Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.

CODE SQUELCH (ID CODE) Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns the transceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the DTMF code that has been set up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct code will not be heard.
