control for a comfortable listening level.
If the incoming signal is encoded with a CTCSS or DCS tone matching the one set in your radio, the LED
indicator will light orange and you will be able to hear the signal in the speaker. If the LED indicator lights
green and ashes but you cannot hear the signal, it is likely that the incoming signal is using a dierent
CTCSS or DCS tone to that selected in your radio (see Menu options for more details on setting CTCSS/
DCS tones).
If no further signals are received, the unit will return to standby mode after a few seconds.
