The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by
reducing transmit power when a very strong signal from
an apparently nearby station is being received. Caution
is advised when using this feature, as your transmission
power could degrade the audio heard by the receiving ra-
dios in your communication path.
Disabling the Transmit Battery saver by pressing (or press
and holding) the PF key is recommended if you are op-
erating in a location where high power is almost always
required.
Press again, (or press and hold again), the assigned PF
key, the Transmit Battery Saver activates to reduce the
transmit power when a very strong signal from an appar-
ently nearby station is being received.

The CH Selector knob, Programmable keys, and PTT

In order to prevent accidental channel changes or inad-
vertent transmissions, various aspects of the CH Selec-
tor knob, Programmable keys, and PTT switch may be
locked. The precise lockout configuration is programmed
by your Authorized Motorola Solutions dealer.
To activate the locking feature, first turn the radio off.
Then, press and hold the PTT and SIDE-2 key while turn-
ing the radio on again.
To cancel the key locking, repeat this process.

This system is designed to inform the operator when you
and another ARTS™-equipped transceivers and stations
are within communication range using the DCS Encoder/
Decoder.
During ARTS™ operation, when the radio receives an
incoming ARTS™ signal, a short beep will sound twice.
If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your
radio senses that no signal has been received, causing a
short triple beep to sound. Moving back into communica-
tions range, a short beep will sound twice again as the
ARTS™ signal transmission from another transceiver or
station is back in range.
