Selecting a CTCSS
Privacy Code
CTCSS (Continous Tone Coded Squelch
System) is an advanced tone coding system
allowing you to select one of 38 privacy codes
to reduce interference from other users on the
channel. (
NOTE:
If you are using a privacy
code, both radios must be tuned to the same
channel and privacy code to communicate.
Each channel will remember the last privacy
code you selected.) To select a privacy code:
1.
After selecting a main channel, press and
release the MODE button. A small number
will flash next to the channel in the LCD.
2.
Push the CHANNEL SELECT button up or
down to select a privacy code. You can hold
the button up or down for fast advance.
3.
When your desired privacy code is displayed,
press and release the LOCK button or press
the MODE button to enter selection and go
to the next function.
Calling Another Person
To alert another person that you are calling:
1.
Press and release the CALL button. The other
person will hear a 2-second ringing tone.
You cannot send or receive transmissions
during the 2-second call tone. (See page
13 for instructions on how to select between
5 call tone settings.)
