7.5. Alarm
With the programming software the side key can also be programmed with an alarm tone. This
alarm tone can be used to warn people in the direct vicinity it will not be broadcast to other radios.
7.6. Battery Saving
The battery saving function will decrease the amount of power used during operation. When no
transmission is being received or sent for more than 10 seconds, Battery Saving function will
automatically turn ON (if activated by programming software).
7.7. Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)
Busy Channel Lock-out function can be turned ON/OFF on every channel.
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may be using the same
channel that you have selected. Pressing the PTT button while the channel is in use will cause your
transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release
the PTT button to stop the alert tone and return to receive mode.
7.8. Time-Out-Timer
The Time-Out-Timer prevents that a radio is accidentally blocking a channel. The timer can either be
off or a time between 30 and 300 seconds, selectable in 30 seconds steps. Once the user presses
the PTT, the timer counts down and when the time runs out, transmission is interrupted.
7.9. Voice Announcement
To activate the Voice Announcements, select channel 10, press and hold the PTT and Monitor
buttons and then switch on the transceiver.
You can select between voice announcements in English or Chinese language. To change the
language, select channel 15, press and hold the PTT and Monitor buttons and then switch on the
transceiver.
7.10. CTCSS/DCS
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) / DCS (Digital Coded Squelch)
CTCSS is a sub-audible tone while DCS is a digital system. There are 38 CTCSS tones and 83
DCS codes available.
You may sometimes want to hear calls from only specific persons or groups. In this case, use the
CTCSS or DCS function which allows you to ignore unwanted calls from other persons who are
using the same frequency.
