channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may
nonetheless assign Channel 2 as the “User-assigned”
Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.
The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life
by reducing transmit power when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station is being received. Under some circumstances, though, your
hand-held radio may not be heard well at the other
end of the communication path, and high power may
be necessary at all times.

ARTSTM (AUTO RANGE TRANSPOND SYSTEM)
DTMF PAGING SYSTEM
This system is designed to inform you when you and
another ARTSTM-equipped station are within communication range.
This system allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences.
During ARTSTM operation, when the radio receives
the correct ARTSTM signal, a short beep will sound
and the “In” (meaning “In Service”) notation will be
displayed on the sub-LCD. If you move out of range
for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no
signal has been received; three short beeps will sound,
and “Out” (“Out of Service”) will be displayed on
the sub-LCD. If you subsequently move back into
range, as soon as the other station transmits, a short
beep will sound and “In” will be displayed again on
the sub-LCD.
: Except on Non-LCD version.
When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone
sequence which matches yours, your radio’s squelch
will open and the alert will sound. The three-digit
code of the station which paged you will be displayed
on your radio’s LCD.
LOCK
In order to prevent accidental channel change or inadvertent transmission, various aspects of the
CH Selector knob, Programmable keys, and PTT
