ADVANCED OPERATIONS SELECTING A TRANSMIT POWER Each channel is programmed with either high or low transmit power by your dealer. You can change the transmit power of only channels programmed as high. When you can reliably communicate with other parties without using high transmit power, select low transmit power by pressing the key programmed as Low Transmit Power. Each time you press Low Transmit Power, the transmit power toggles between high and low. • The icon appears while using low transmit power. • Using low transmit power conserves battery power and reduces the risk of interfering with other communications. Note: Pressing Low Transmit Power while using a channel programmed with low transmit power causes an error tone to sound. TALK AROUND You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power failure, etc.). During such an occurrence, you can continue communication by using the Talk Around feature. Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers, without the use of a repeater. However, if the station you want to contact is too far away, or there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact the station. Toggle Talk Around ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as Talk Around. • The icon appears on the display while Talk Around is active. • When using Talk Around, the receive frequency is used for both transmitting and recieving, and the decode signaling is used for both encoding and decoding. 38
