To change the CTCSS sub-channels, press the MENU button twice until the CTCSS sub-channel number flashes on the LCD Screen, then press the UP or DOWN button to change the CTCSS sub-channel.

Why is the range limited on my Binatone Terrain 550?
- A
  Andrew AyalaAug 20, 2025
  If the range of your Binatone Radio is limited, it could be due to weak batteries or the surrounding environment. If the charge level indicator is low, replace the batteries with new ones. Also, the maximum range depends on the terrain, so try changing the location of the radio.

What to do if my Binatone Radio has sound distortion problems?
- H
  Heidi GutierrezAug 27, 2025
  Sound distortion problems with your Binatone Radio may occur if the radios are too close or too far apart, or if obstacles interfere with transmission. When transmitting, speak in a normal tone of voice, about 5 cm away from the microphone. If you are receiving, lower the volume to a comfortable level. Ensure radios are at least 2 meters apart; increasing the distance might help.
