3.9 Increasing the maximum range
The radios are equipped with a so-called Auto-Squelch system, by
means of which weak transmissions and undesirable noises are
automatically filtered out during use. This Auto-Squelch system can be
temporarily switched off in order to increase the range.
Press and hold the
AUTO-SQUELCH
button on the left-hand side.
The automatic suppression will be switched off and it will now be
possible for even very weak signals to be received. If the
AUTO-
SQUELCH
button is kept pressed until a signal tone sounds, the
Auto-Squelch will be switched off completely. To switch the Auto-
Squelch on again, press the
AUTO-SQUELCH
button once more.
3.10 Automatic energy saving mode
The radios are designed with a power saving mode. If no
transmissions take place within a certain time, the unit switches itself
off automatically. The time can be set to 1, 2 or 3 hours. In setting 0,
energy saving mode is switched off.

buttons.
Energy saving mode is switched off with the setting 0.
3.
Confirm the selection with the talk button on the left-hand side.
The
indicator appears in the display when the energy saving
mode is switched on.
