MON/SCAN
Monitor function
When this feature is activated, the radio can receive very low and weak signals.
This is very useful when you need to talk but the distance is as far as the ma-
ximum range possible; with the monitor feature you can extend the coverage
of the radio.
The disadvantage is the reception of loud background noises.
Activation: Keep pressed MON/SCAN till the display shows “Rx”.
Deactivation: Do the same procedure or switch o the radio
SCAN function
The SCAN mode monitors the busy channels.
It is used to check the trac radio on all the channels before transmitting and
allows the unit to stop on a channel that someone is talking on. When the radio
stops on a busy channel, the scan will resume after about 5 seconds.
To activate the SCAN function
Push briefly MON/SCAN.
To deactivate it:
Press MON/SCAN or PTT.
Automatic power save
XT10 is supplied with an automatic current economy circuit. If the transceiver
receives no signal for more than 10 seconds, the “power save function” auto-
matically activates. The battery life may increase by up to 50 %.
