■
Transmit power selection
The transceiver has two output power levels to suit your op-
erating requirements. Low output power during short-range
communications may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations and will reduce current consumption.
➥
Push and hold
[LOW](3)
for 1 sec. to toggle the transmit
output power between High and Low.
• “LOW” appears when the low power is selected.
WARNING! NEVER
continuously transmit the transceiver for long periods of time. When the transceiver is used for continuous
prolonged transmission at high power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from overheating and transceiver’s chassis
will become hot. This may cause a burn.
AVOID
operating the transceiver in a situation that will obstruct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver is operated with
an external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected, and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the trans-
ceiver.
