of time. During transmission, the Call icon will appear on the display and a Call Paging Tone is also locally generated for
confirmation of operation. The radio will return to standby mode following completion of the Call Tone sequence.
Voice Operated Transmission (VOX)
Your FW-13 radio is equipped with a user selectable Voice Operated Transmitter (VOX) that can be used for automatic

2. Press the Up or Down button to toggle between On and Off function of the VOX. When VOX feature is on, the VOX
icon will appear on the LCD display.

Your FW-13 radio is equipped with an automatic squelch system which automatically shuts off weak transmissions and
unwanted noise due to terrain conditions and range limitations.
Automatic Power Save
Your FW-13 radio has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of the batteries. If there is no transmission
within 5 seconds, your radio switches to the power save mode. The radio still receives transmission in this mode.

The display automatically lights up with any key press. The LCD display illuminates for 5 seconds before turning off.
