Transmitting at low power
If you are using your radio in conditions where signal
strength is high, you can reduce the drain on your
vehicle battery by transmitting at low power.
When low power transmit is turned on, appears on

than at the programmed power setting.
Some channels may always transmit at low power.
To turn low power transmit on or off for all channels:
Using the Main Menu
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Low power tx.
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select. (The current
setting is highlighted.)
The message Low power tx activated
(or deactivated) appears on the display.
Using a function key
1 Press the function key programmed for low-power
transmit to transmit at low power on your current
channel.
The message Low power tx activated appears
briefly, and the low-power transmit icon appears
on the display.
