The temperature sensor may not display the correct temperature when

6.19 ENABLING S.O.S STROBE OPERATION
The S.O.S. STROBE feature utilizes the high-intensity strobe LED on the front

) at a rate of
5 words per minute. This can be very useful in summoning help from rescuers
who may not be able to communicate with you via radio.
1. Hold down the [
MEM
] key while turning the radio on to activate the emer-
gency S.O.S. Strobe. Once the radio comes on, the
TX/BUSY
LED will
flash the Morse Code S.O.S. message repeatedly.
2. The S.O.S. strobe function is interrupted when a signal is received or if the
squelch control is turned so audio is heard from the speaker.
3. To disable the S.O.S. strobe function, turn the radio off and back on again.
