SELECTING AN OUTPUT POWER
It is a good idea to select lower transmit power if communications
is still reliable. This lowers the risk of interfering with others on
the band. When operating from battery power, you will enjoy
more operating time before a recharge is necessary.
Press [LOW] to select high (H), medium (M), or low (L) power.
•
You can program different power settings for bands A and B.
Note: When the transceiver overheats because of ambient high temperature
or continuous transmission, the protective circuit may function to lower transmit
output power.
MASKING A BAND
If you have no plans to use band A or B, you can hide the
frequency display on the unused band. This saves power
consumption and makes it simpler to read the information you
need.
1 Turn the transceiver power OFF.
2 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] + Power ON.
•
The band mask display appears.
3 Rotate the Tuning control to select the band you want to hide
(or return to normal).
4 Press the Tuning control to set the selected band.
5 Rotate the Tuning control to set the band to select USE or
MASK.
•
USE allows you to see and use the band as normal. MASK
hides the band on the display.
6 Press the Tuning control to set the selection.
7 Press the [ESC] to exit.
Note: You cannot operate the masked band nor use it to receive or transmit.
