CTCSS Privacy Codes

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) is an advanced
tone coding system allowing you to select one (1) of 38 privacy
codes to reduce interference from other users on the channel.

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 channel, press the Mode

button until the small numbers next to the
channel number flash on the display.

2. Press the Channel Up or Channel Down

button to select a privacy code. You can hold
the Up or Down button for fast advance.

3. When your desired privacy code is displayed,

choose one (1) of the following:

a. Press the Mode button to enter the new

setting and proceed to other functions.

b. Press the Lock button to enter the new

setting and return to Standby mode.

c. Do not press any buttons for 15 seconds 

to enter the new setting and return to
Standby mode.
