Scrambler
The scrambler is designed to protect communications.
This feature prevents parties from other networks from hearing and un-
derstanding voice communications.
To enable/disable the scrambler:
1. Press the MENU button;
2. Turn the Encoder knob until “SCRM” is displayed;
3. Push ENT to enter the function;
4. Turn the Encoder knob to activate/deactivate the SCRAMBLER: “ON”
(to activate it), or “OFF” (to deactivate it);
5. Confirm your selection with ENT.
When the scrambler is enabled, it is not possible to clearly receive com-
munications. Therefore, before enabling it, it is necessary to make sure
that all the radios you wish to communicate with have enabled this fea-
ture, otherwise you won’t be able to talk with them.
The scrambler of the transceiver does not fully guarantee the safety of
communications.

lasts a few seconds.
OFF: back light off.
ON: backlight always on. Attention: in this mode the power save is
off, therefore the battery consumption will increase.
