Selecting high or low transmission power (PMR band)
Batteries are drained more quickly during transmission. In order to extend the bat-
tery life you can select the low power when transmitting over short distances.
To activate the low power:
1. Press the MENU button for 4 times and “Pr H” will be displayed.
2. Select “L” using the scroll buttons ▲/▼.
3. Press PTT to confirm, or wait for 5 seconds.
If you want to transmit over a longer distance repeat the above procedure to select
the high power. At step 2 select “H”. When the batteries are in good conditions,
high power is 500mW, whereas low power is 10mW.
A low battery level during transmission will reduce the performance of your device.
