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 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 transmis-
sions.
