REPEATER OR TALKAROUND 
MODE
Talkaround Mode enables you to communicate 
with another radio when either:
• the repeater is not operating
—or—
• your radio is out of the repeater’s range but 
within communicating distance of another 
radio.
Press the preprogrammed Repeater/
Talkaround button (see page 14) to toggle 
between Repeater mode and Talkaround 
Mode.
SETTING TIGHT OR NORMAL 
SQUELCH
Use this feature to filter out nuisance 
(unwanted) calls and/or background noise. 
However, tightening squelch could cause calls 
from remote locations to be filtered out as well. 
In this case, normal squelch may be more 
desirable.
Press the preprogrammed Squelch button 
(see page 14) to toggle between tight and 
normal squelch.
SETTING THE POWER LEVEL
Each channel in your radio has a predefined 
transmit power level that can be changed.
• High power allows you to reach a radio that 
is farther away.
• Low power conserves the battery’s charge.
Press the preprogrammed Power Level button 
to toggle between low and high power.
