Canceling Signal Squelch

Squelch will not open when operating in the paging mode when the paging codes do not match. It is possible to
reprogram the transceiver so that squelch will open regardless of the incoming page code.
Even when signal squelch is canceled, a beep sounds and the individual code of the local station is displayed when
the proper code is received.
Canceling signal type squelch
1) Press and hold the F key for longer than one second, then press the CALL key.
2) To return signal squelch to the original state, repeat step 1.

7 Locking Out Codes

You can lock a Paging function code only during reception. The Paging code will be transmitted even if it's locked
out. The squelch unlocks if an individual code is stored in memories A and 1 through 6 and the codes match.
This remains true even if one local station communicates with another and the code is not locked out. Locking out
codes is desirable when you call another group member, but don't want to receive communications between other
individuals in the group.
To Lock Out Codes
1) Enter the code setting mode (page 31) and use the tuning control to display the memory channel number to be
locked out.
2) Press the F key, then press the 0 key. The Η indicator displays and memory locks out.
3) To cancel, repeat steps 1 and 2.
