Triple watch setting
Triple Watch mode monitors emergency channels 35 and 5 for a signal while
you listen to the currently selected channel.

Repeater function
The repeater facility is a third party facility that is only available in some local
areas. When the repeater function is on, the REP icon will be illuminated on
the LC display. Only use this function for extending your communication
range when you know the channel of the repeater facility in your area.
• Press and hold the
C
(Call) button to activate the repeater function.
• Press and hold the
C
(Call) button again to release the repeater function.
• Unless it is necessary, avoid operation on locally used repeater input
channels (channels 31-38 and 71-78) or locally used repeater receiving
channels (channels 1-8 and 41-48).
Sending a call tone
• With the unit in normal mode, press the
C
(Call) button briefly. The
microphone will be muted and the unit will transmit the current call tone
to other users with the same channel and CTCSS code. The TX icon will
be displayed on the LC display and the red LED indicator illuminates.
• A call tone can only be transmitted once (not more than three seconds) in
any 60 second period, no matter how often you press the
C
(Call) button.
CTCSS code setting
The radio has 38 CTCSS private codes available. Different CTCSS tones may
be associated to different channels. To choose the desired CTCSS code:
• Press the
MENU
button
once
(1x) until the CTCSS code number blinks
on the LC display: the CTCSS code indicates that no CTCSS tone is
programmed on that channel.
• Press the
or
button to select the desired CTCSS code number.
• Press and hold the
or
button to move faster through the selection.
Selecting a CTCSS code will disable the CTCSS feature.
