CRAMBLER
Although the scrambler function does not offer complete privacy with your calls, it
does prevent others from easily listening in on your calls. When activated, the
transceiver distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will
not be able to clearly hear what you are saying.
In order for members of your own group to clearly hear your call while you are
using the scrambler, all other members must also activate the scrambler
functions on their transceivers. This distorts everybody’s voice while transmitting
and corrects the voice message on your own transceiver when you receive the
call.
To activate the scrambler, press the key programmed as Scrambler.
• The icon appears on the display while the scrambler is active.
To deactivate the scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.
Note: There are 2 options for using the scrambler. Your dealer can activate or deactivate the built-in
scrambler function of the transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler board to your
transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.

built-in clock. The time will display momentarily when the transceiver power is
turned ON. Additionally, you can view the clock any time by pressing the key
programmed as Clock.
Note: Removing the transceiver power for extended periods will cause the clock time to clear.
