RADIO CALLS
SETTING THE POWER LEVEL B
Each channel in your radio has a predefined
transmit power level that can be changed.
• High power (
S) allows you to reach a radio
that is farther away.
• Low power (
R) conserves the battery’s
charge.
• Auto power (conventional operation only)
automatically sets the optimal power level
based on the strength of the signal
received. If the received signal is weak, the
transmit level will be set to high, and vice-
versa.
Note: Be aware that a message received from
a nearby radio might change your
radio’s power level to low. This may
cause radios that are farther away not to
receive your transmissions.
