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.

make any internal adjustments. Your radio
is set up to transmit a regulated signal on
an assigned frequency. It is illegal to alter
or adjust the settings inside the radio to
exceed those limitations. Any adjustments
made to your radio must be made by a
qualified technician using the proper test
equipment. To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio’s case.
