from level 1 to level 9 you will have different levels of noise reduction – the higher is the level, the
louder will be the squelch. By default, the squelch level of radio is set on level 4. Squelch must always
be adjusted when no signals are present. The Time Out timer is settable from 30 to 270 sec. only

An additional – disabled by default – function is the Time Out Timer (TOT), the value of which can be
set between 30 and 270 seconds, however only with the help of programming software. It allows the
device's power to be automatically turned off when not in use for a specified period of time.
