transmission. This will only allow you to ignore all traffic on a

Transmit Power Selection Mode
This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level to high
or low. When operating on FRS only channels (8-15), no power selec-
tion is possible or is displayed. Using low power, the unit will have a
lower transmit range, but battery life will be increased.
To access the transmitter power selection function:
- From GMRS/FRS standby mode (shared channels 1-7 or GMRS only
channel (15-22) selected), press the MODE Button three times until
the power HI or Lo indication appears with a flashing Po indication
on the display.
- Press the Up or Down button to toggle between the High and Low se-
lections.
- Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection.

sensitivity of 1 is the least sensitive and should be used in a noisy sur-
rounding.
To set the VOX sensitivity level:
- Press the MODE button 4 times (3 times for FRS) until the V

numeral 1, 2 or 3.
- Press the Up or Down button to select the 1-3 VOX level sensitivity.
- Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm the VOX selection.
- The VOX icon will disappear from the display unless VOX mode is
enabled.
