Other Options
•
For the UHF-Handy to work correctly with the variometer it must
not
be in
Scan
mode, instead the
band and channel must be explicitly set, as explained above. In
Scan
mode any small transmission
interruption by the vario will cause the UHF-Handy to restart the scan, which will cause a long break
in vario reception.
•
The
Squelch
sensitivity can be set in the menu option
SQ
.
The unit is most sensitive when all four
bars are shown (default adjustment).
•
The keyboard can be disabled (indicated by displaying a
key
symbol on the display in field
C
) by
almost simultaneously pressing the right key and then the upper arrow key. Unlock the keyboard by
repeating the key combination.
VOX
mode must be deactivated, or loud sounds will switch the walkie-talkie into transmit mode. When
VOX
is active a microphone symbol is shown on the display in field
A

Important note
