PTT ID

Each radio can be allocated with a 15 digit ID consisting of digits 0-9 or 
A,B,C or D. The PTT ID recognition signal can be set per channel or the side 
key can be programmed to activate / deactivate it. The radio can be 
programmed to send the ID either at the beginning and/or end of a 
transmission. The PTT ID or automatic number identification (ANI) is used to 
connect with a repeater or telephone system, or for a control centre’s 
communication management to identify this caller’s ID using other radios 
equipped with a DTMF Decode function.

Begin of Tx: 

The radio will send out the ID first before allowing voice 

communication once the PTT key is pressed.

End of Tx: 

The radio will send out the ID at the end of a communication once 

the PTT key is released.

Both: 

The radio will send out the ID first before and after the PTT key is 

pressed. 

Scramble

Scrambler can be set per channel or the side key can be programmed to 
activate / deactivate it. Scrambling technology use a coded algorithm to 
invert the audio signal and make it unintelligible unless the other radio also 
has the same descramble function. This function is used to achieve extra 
privacy on the same channel.

Compander

A compander can be set per channel or the side key can be programmed to 
activate / deactivate it. The compander will make communication more clear 
by improving the ‘Signal to Noise Ratio’ using compression and amplification 
technology and decrease the noise when receiving a signal.

Power Selection (only in dealer license version)

Maximum communication range is achieved when the transceiver is set to 
high power mode, whilst lower power settings will save battery life. The 
power can be set on low (500mW) or High (4W). 
Factory programmed on low 500mW.z

delay time can be chosen to suit your style of speaking and avoid the 
message breaking up.

SK2 is Factory programmed on VOX, sensitivity level 7 of 9 with a delay 
of 1.5 seconds.

Battery Capacity Indication

Either side key can be programmed to enable this function. The remaining 
charge on the battery will be voice indicated using a number 1-4. This is 
useful in determining when to charge the radio.

100-40% 

3 – Medium

Low Battery Alert

When the battery capacity is getting low and indicates a level of “1”, the radio 
will alert you with a message “please charge the battery” every 5 seconds 
unless the radio is recharged.
Note: If the Voice Announcement function is disabled, the radio will sound a 
double beep “di di ” sound when going flat.

Call Ring

The side key can be set to transmit a loud 3 second call ring tone to alert 
other radios. 

SK1 is Factory programmed on Call Ring, Hold in to activate.

Emergency Alarm

Either side key can be programmed with a siren alert as an emergency 
notification. When pressed, the siren will be sounded on both the sending 
and receiving radios. The siren will stop once the side key is pressed again, 
the sending radio is switched of or the time-out timer limit is reached. 

Announce Voice Channel

As the channels are changed, a voice announces the specific channel. This 
is useful when using the radio at night. Either side key can be programmed to 
activate / deactivate this function.
