VOICE function
With this function, you activate a voice that informs you about any operation/se-
lection you are doing.
To activate it, follow these steps:
1. Press the MENU button;
2. Turn the Encoder knob until "VOICE" is displayed;
3. Push ENT to enter the function;
4. Turn the Encoder knob to activate/deactivate the function: "ON" (to activate
it), or "OFF" (to deactivate it);
5. Confirm your selection with ENT.
C-CDC / R-CDC / T-CDC
The CTCSS tones can be added to the channels for creating new private channels.
They are similar to access codes and enable the radio to communicate only with the
users that are tuned on the same channel and have set the same code. For each
channel you can set up to 50 CTCSS tones and 105 DCS codes.
To select a CTCSS tone:
1. Press the MENU button;
2. Turn the Encoder knob till "C-CDC"(in TX and RX); "R-CDC"(only in RX) or
"T-CDC" (only in TX) appears on the display;
3. Push ENT to enter the function;
4. Turn the Encoder knob and select the desired CTCSS tone
5. To confirm, press the ENT button.
The setting of a CTCSS tone disables all DCS codes, because these functions cannot be
used simultaneously.
If you want to use and select a DCS code, instead of a CTCSS tone, follow these steps:
1. Press the MENU button;
2. Turn the Encoder knob till: "C-CDC"(in TX and RX); "R-CDC"(only in RX) or
"T-CDC" (only in TX) appears on the display;
3. Push ENT to enter the function;
4. Press the Function key 1;
5. Turn the Encoder knob and select the desired DCS code;
6. Confirm the selection by pressing the ENT button.
The setting of a DCS code disables all CTCSS tones, because these functions cannot be
used simultaneously.
Name - Nome
It is possible to choose and set a name that will appear on the display instead of the
channel number.
