Squelch Off Squelch Off Momentary Battery Strength Indicator Channel Lock Note See Glossary for definitions of Momentary, Monitor and Scan. Advanced Operations The following functions are programmable by your dealer. CTCSS/CDCSS Set up talkgroups with unique CDCSS/CTCSS to prevent unwanted conversations on the same frequency. If CTCSS/CDCSS is set on the current channel, CTCSS/CDCSS match is required for the radio to unmute to an incoming signal.
Power Adjust A press of the programmed Power Adjust key switches the transmit power level between high and low power. Time-out Timer (TOT) Limits the amount of time the radio user can continuously transmit on a channel. This can also protect your radio from damage due to excessive transmission. If the user holds down the PTT longer than the preprogrammed limit, the radio automatically stops transmitting, and generates a warning tone until the PTT is released.
