A software switch can reduce the disturbing noise which happens after a distant party stops
transmission and releases the PTT button. The elimination function can be enabled among

transmission stop will be delayed for about 400 mseconds after releasing the PTT button.
The effect will be optimized together with CTCSS use.

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1. Your Communicator unit’s 8 channels are shared on a “take turns” basis. This means other
groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common code of ethics/courtesy is to
switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already
using the channel you first selected.
2. Your Communicators have been designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that you do not use
the units closer than 5 feet apart.
3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from the
Microphone (#9) and speak slowly in a normal voice.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
Clean your unit with a damp (never wet) cloth. Solvent or detergent should never be used.
•
Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
•
Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as
fluorescent
lamps or motors.
