4. Hi/low power selection (only in PMR446 chan-
nels)
1. To select the power level, press the MENU button till the display shows
Pr.
2. Use ▲▼ to select L (low power) or H (high power).
3. To confirm your selection, push PTT or wait for 5 seconds.
When the batteries are fully charged, the high power is 500 mW (ERP), while
the low is 10mW (ERP).
If your radio has to operate within a short range, you can select the low power
and therefore extend the battery life.
On LPD channels the output power is always 10 mW (ERP).
• PMR446 channels: The selection of high or low power influences the use
of the PTT key. If you choose “H” (high power), by pressing the PTT key,
regardless of what part of it, the transceiver transmits with high power. If
you choose “L” (low power), by pressing the big PTT, the transceiver will
transmit with low power; while by pressing the small PTT it will transmit
with high power.
• LPD channels: the high/low output power selection is not available on LPD
channels; so the two PTT transmit always with high power.
WARNING: to optimize the battery consumption, it is necessary to set the Ou-
tput power of the menu as “L-low”. In this way, pressing the Boost PTT, you send
with high power only when you really need. As by default the Output power is “H-
high”; so it is really recommended to change this parameter to “L-low”.
