* SQUELCH LEVEL
The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals are present. With the squelch correctly set, you will only hear sound when a signal is present.
* TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The TOT limits the length of a users transmission. The purpose of the TOT is to prevent transmitting for a long period of time, causing thermal damage to the radio. And alert will sound when the limit for that transmission has been reached.
* VOX (Voice Operated Transmit)
VOX eliminates the need for using the PTT key to transmit. The transmitter is keyed when the VOX circuit senses you are speaking into the microphone. Emergency Alarm When the user is in an emergency or unexpected situation, a single press of the alarm button will immediately activate the intercom. Voice Activation The TX button can be activated by voice alone. This is known as voice activation or VOX.
* BATTERY SAVER
Reduces the battery power used when not receiving a signal. Battery saver turns on automatically 10 seconds after no signal is received and no operation is being performed.
* BATTERY LOW ALERT
Reminds you that battery needs recharging. Alert tone will sound and Red LED will blink.
* MONITOR
When no signal is being received, Press and Hold the MONI. This is helpful for adjusting volume level and receiving weak signals.
* BUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCL)
BCL prevents you from transmitting on a channel if a signal is present. Pressing the PTT switch while a channel is in use will emit an alert tone and inhibit the transmitter.
* CTCSS / DCS
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) or DCS (Digital Coded Squelch).
You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specific persons or groups. This option allows you to ignore unwanted calls from others on the same frequency. These tones are sub-audible (cannot be heard) and are selectable via software.
Note: These tones do NOT cause your conversation to be private or scrambled. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.
Note
Antenna Type: Compatible with SMA-Female Antenna
Earpiece & Programming Type: Compatible with K-plug earpiece/cable
