3.7 Range of the radios
The radios have a range of up to
5
km. This maximum range can be
reduced under certain circumstances. You can achieve maximum
range in open, flat conditions. If there are buildings or trees in the
signal path then the range will be reduced. The range is even further
reduced in hilly terrain.
3.8 Increasing the maximum range
The radios are equipped with a so-called AUTO-SQUELCH system,
by means of which weak transmissions and undesirable noises are
automatically filtered out during use. This AUTO-SQUELCH system
can be temporarily switched off in order to increase the range.
Press and hold the
MONITOR ON/OFF button for one second until
you hear a signal tone. The automatic suppression will be switched
off and it will now be possible for even very weak signals to be
received.
To switch the AUTO-SQUELCH on again, press the
MONITOR
ON/OFF button once more for one second.
3.9 Selecting a call tone
You can transmit a call tone to the other radios using the CALL button
when you want to begin a call. 5 different melodies are available for
this purpose.
1.
Press the MENU button briefly twice. The CHAN indicator will
flash.
2. You can now choose one of 5 different call tones using the
!
and
"
buttons.
3. Confirm the selection with the PUSH TO TALK button on the left-
hand side or wait for 10 seconds until the display returns to the
normal operating mode once more.
