DCS Privacy Codes
DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) is an advanced digital coding system allowing you to select one of 83
privacy codes to reduce incoming transmissions from other users on the channel.
NOTE: If you are using a DCS code, both radios must be turned to the same channel and DCS privacy
code to communicate. Each channel will remember the last code you selected.
To Select a DCS Privacy Code:
1. After selecting a channel, press and release the MODE button until the DCS icon flashes on the
display. In addition to the DCS icon, either OFF or the small numbers next to the channel
number will flash on the display.
2. If DCS and OFF are flashing, press the CHANNEL UP or CHANNEL DOWN button to exit OFF and
proceed to select a privacy code; or, if DCS and the small numbers next to the channel number are
flashing, press the CHANNEL UP or CHANNEL DOWN button to select a privacy code.
3. When your desired privacy code is displayed, choose one of the following:
a. Press the MODE button to enter the new setting and proceed to other functions.
b. Press the LOCK button to enter the new setting and return to LISTENING MODE.
c. Do not press any buttons for 15 seconds to enter the new setting and return to LISTENING MODE.
Voice Activated Transmit (VOX)
In VOX Mode, your microTALK ® radio can be used “hands-free,” automatically
transmitting when you speak. You can set the VOX sensitivity level to fit the
volume of your voice and avoid transmissions triggered by background noise.
To Turn VOX Mode On or Off:
1. Press the MODE button until the VOX icon flashes on the display. The current On or Off setting is displayed.
