Customizing Radio Settings
This section describes ways of customizing the radio.
These features are common to radios operating in either trunked or conventional mode.
This section covers:
Adjusting the Display Contrast
Changing the Volume of all Audible Indicators
Changing the Volume of Keypress Tones
Extending Battery Life on Shift
Turning On Active Noise Cancellation
Extending Battery Life on Shift
The radio's power consumption can be reduced (thereby extending the life of the battery during a shift) in the following
ways:
• Transmit at low power (if the radio is not already configured to do this).
• Ensure that backlighting automatically turns off when no radio activity is detected (see
).
Turning low power transmit on or off
If the radio is being used in conditions where signal strength is high, the battery's shift life can be extended by trans-
mitting at low power.
When low power transmit is turned on,
appears in the display and calls are made at low power rather than at the pro-
grammed power setting.
