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