SET MODE 5 D Battery voltage indicator "bt" This function controls display or non-display settings of the connected battery pack's voltage when the power is ON. • The voltage of the connected battery pack is displayed for 2 sec. after power is turned ON. Push Battery voltage indicator OFF (default) Battery voltage indicator ON D Signal strength indicator "Sl" The signal strength indicator displays received signal strength like an "S-meter". This function is convenient to check the signal strength visually. • The strength is displayed at 4 steps. • The antenna mark and 3 bars appear when receiving strong signals. • The antenna mark only appears when receiving no signal when the signal strength indicator is ON. Signal strength indicator OFF (default) Push Signal strength indicator ON D Squelch sensitivity function "SS" When this function is turned ON, blocking against noise is improved. Therefore the squelch is not easily affected by noise. 5 Push Squelch sensitivity OFF (default) Squelch sensitivity ON D VOX gain "ga" (Available for on-board use only) Adjusts the VOX gain level (from 1 to 6) when speaking into the optional headset. • Setting the VOX gain to 1 increases the sensitivity. • Setting the VOX gain to 6 reduces the sensitivity. Push VOX gain 3 (default) VOX gain 6 14

D
Battery voltage indicator
“bt”
This function controls display or non-display settings of the
connected battery pack’s voltage when the power is ON.
The voltage of the connected battery pack is displayed for 2 sec.
after power is turned ON.
D
Signal strength indicator
“Sl”
The signal strength indicator displays received signal strength
like an “S-meter”. This function is convenient to check the sig-
nal strength visually.
The strength is displayed at 4 steps.
• The antenna mark and 3 bars appear when receiving strong signals.
• The antenna mark only appears when receiving no signal when the
signal strength indicator is ON.
D
Squelch sensitivity function
“SS”
When this function is turned ON, blocking against noise is im-
proved. Therefore the squelch is not easily affected by noise.
D
VOX gain
“ga”
(Available for on-board use only)
Adjusts the VOX gain level (from 1 to 6) when speaking into
the optional headset.
• Setting the VOX gain to 1 increases the sensitivity.
• Setting the VOX gain to 6 reduces the sensitivity.
