16LOW BATTERY WARNINGLow Battery Warning alerts you when the battery needs to berecharged or replaced.While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomeslow, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LEDindicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack.CHANNEL ANNUNCIATIONWhen changing the channel using the Channel selector, anaudio voice will announce the selected channel number, afteryou stop changing the channel. (Channel Annunciation canbe activated or deactivated by your dealer.)QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling onyour transceiver channels. A QT tone/DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear) callsfrom other parties who are using the same channel.When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code,squelch will only open when a call containing a matching toneor code is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit willonly be heard by parties whose QT/DQT signalling matchesyour transceiver.If a call containing a different tone or code is made on thesame channel you are using, squelch will not open and youwill not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear)these calls. Although it may seem like you have your ownprivate channel while using QT/DQT, other parties can stillhear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the sametone or code.
