Each channel is programmed with either high or low output
power by your dealer. You can change the output power of
only channels programmed as high.
When you can reliably communicate with other parties without
using high power, select low power by pressing the key
programmed as
RF Power Low . Each time you press RF
Power Low , the output power toggles between high and low.
• Using low power conserves battery power and reduces the risk of
interfering with other communications.
Note:
◆
Pressing RF Power Low while using a channel programmed with
low power causes an error tone to sound.
◆
When changing a channel from high power to low power, all
channels programmed with high power are changed to low.
