Hi/low power selection (only in PMR446 band)

To select the power level, press the

MENU button till the display shows Pr. Use ▲▼ to select L (low power) or H

(high power). To confirm your selection, push

PTT or wait for 5 seconds.

When the batteries are fully charged, the high power is 500 mW (ERP), while the low is 10mW (ERP).

If your radio has to operate within a short range, you can select the low power and therefore extend the battery

life.

On LPD channels (only for G9 Dual band version) the output power is always 10 mW (ERP).

PMR446 channels: The selection of high or low power influences the use of the PTT key.

If you choose “

H” (high power), by pressing the PTT key, regardless of what part of it, the transceiver transmit

with high power.

If you choose “

L” (low power), by pressing the big PTT, the transceiver will transmit with low power; while by

pressing the

small PTT it will transmit with high power.

LPD channels: the high/low output power selection is not available on LPD channels; so the two PTT transmit

always with

high power (note for G9 Dualband version).

! WARNING: to optimize the battery consumption, it is necessary to set the Output power of the menu

as “L-low”. In this way, pressing the Boost PTT, you send with high power only when you really need.

As by default the Output power is “H-high”; so it is really recommended to change this parameter to

“L-low”.
