In this case, we recommend youturn the Beat Shift function ON.1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 108.2 Set the Beat Shift to ON or OFF.SELECTING AN OUTPUT POWERIt is a good idea to select lower transmit power ifcommunications is still reliable.

When operating frombattery power, you will enjoy more operating time before arecharge is necessary.Press [LOW] to select high (H) (K, E types only), medium(M), or low (L) power.• You can program different power settings for bands A and B.Note: When the transceiver overheats because ofambient high temperature or continuous transmission,the protective circuit may function to lower transmitoutput power.TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a singletransmission to a specific maximum time. You may usethis function to prevent repeater time-outs when accessingrepeaters, or to conserve battery power.When TOT times out (default is 10 minutes), thetransceiver generates beeps and automatically returns toreceive mode. To resume transmitting, release and thenpress the microphone [PTT] again.1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 109.2 Set the timer to 3, 5, or 10 minutes.MICROPHONE SENSITIVITYThe input level to the microphone can be configured.1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 111.2 Set the Microphone Sensitivity to HIGH, MEDIUM orLOW.Note: The higher the input level to the microphone is configured, theeasier to gain the surrounded sounds.
