Number of channels
Mitex has a policy of continuous improvement which determines our right
to change specification or design and function without notice.
Battery Save
The transceiver will switch to battery save mode when it hasn’t received
any signal or hasn’t been operated for more than 10 seconds. When the
transceiver receives an incoming signal or is used to transmit, the battery
saver mode will switch off automatically.
Low Battery Alert
If the battery is low, the red LED will come on and an alert tone will sound.
If this happens, the radio will not transmit. You must then recharge the
batter pack or insert a fresh battery.
Moniter
You can use the Monitor key to listen to weak signals that you cannot
hear during normal operation and to adjust the volume when no signals
are present on your selected channel.
CTCSS and DCS
CTCSS and DCS are used for privacy and to avoid receiving unwanted
radio transmissions from other radio operators. Radios that do not
transmit the correct CTCSS or DCS will not be heard. This means that
you will be able to communicate with the people you want to without
having to listen to other people who may also be sharing the same
channel.
These codes are pre-set and programmed by Mitex (www.mitexuk.co.uk)
VOX Function
VOX is programmed into the unit as standard. This enables a user to
transmit and call other users (When using a VOX enabled headset)
without having to first press the PTT button.
