[. . . ] If there is activity on the selected channel, change to another channel that is clear. To change the basic channel, - In the standby mode, press the Up Button (10) briefly to move to the next higher main channel number. - Press the Down Button (11) briefly to move to the next lower main channel number. CTCSS Mode (Sub Channel Selection) Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) with 38 Sub-Frequencies. This feature allows you to utilize the coded squelch tones (00 ~ 38) within a main channel. This enables you to communicate with another party on the same main channel using the same sub-code. This filters out unwanted transmissions (transmissions without the same coded squelch tone). To change the CTCSS Sub-channel, - Press the Mode Button until the sub channel number or frequency is displayed. Once a value is entered the Icon (CTC) appears and flashes in the LCD panel. - Press the Up Button or Down Button to choose the desired sub-channel to use. NOTE: To communicate with other GMRS units, they must be switched to the same channel and CTCSS sub code. To communicate with other GMRS units that do not have sub codes, switch your unit to the same channel with the sub code set to 00 or 000. 0 depending on the CTCSS mode display. The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from hearing your 11 transmission. This will only allow you to ignore all traffic on a given channel not using the same subcode. CTCSS Mode Display This feature allows you to display the CTCSS tone in either a channel number or frequency. To change the display of the CTCSS tone to either a channel number or frequency, -Turn on the transceiver ON while pressing the Mode Button. -Press the Up Button or Down Button to select the code number display or the frequency number display. - If there is no activity and you want to leave the scan mode, press the Scan Button momentarily (SC off) will appear on the LCD panel and unit will return to normal operation and (Scan) indicator will disappear from LCD panel. 13 NOTE: If S[ Err appears on the display when activating the scan mode this indicates that there are no channels on the scan list.

The bell icon will display in standby mode whenever the beep tones are activated. Busy Channel Lock Out (BCLO) Selection Mode This feature inhibits transmission whenever the unit detects another conversation is on the same channel. To access the Busy Channel Lock Out selection menu, - Press the Mode Button until the (BCLO) icon flashes on the LCD panel. - Press the PTT Button to confirm your selection.
