Signal Strength Meter

Your microTALK radio has a Signal Strength
Meter

and outgoing transmissions. The ascending bars
next to the signal strength indicate the strength
of the signal. The greater the number of bars
visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer
number of bars visible, the weaker the signal.

Using Your Radio

Auto Squelch/Maximum Range

Your microTALK radio is equipped with Auto Squelch, which
automatically shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise
due to terrain and conditions. This slightly reduces the Maximum
Range
at which signals can be heard.
You can turn off auto squelch to allow all signals to be
received and extend the maximum range of your radio.

To briefly turn off auto squelch:
Press the Light/Max Range button

for less than five seconds.

If you hear two beeps, you have turned
the maximum range extender on (see below).
To turn maximum range extender on:
Press and hold the Light/Max Range button

for at least five seconds until you hear
two beeps which indicates the maximum range
extender is on.

To turn maximum range extender off:
Press and release the Light/Max Range

button or change channels.

Lock Feature

The Lock feature locks the Channel, Mode, Hi•Lo and Power
buttons to prevent accidental operation.

To turn the lock feature on or off:
Press and hold the Lock/Enter button for

two seconds.

A double beep sound is used to confirm your
lock on or off request. When in Lock mode,
