Radio functionality tips.
Features and tips:
Poor and no signal issues:
Note: When in a weak signal environment and with poor call quality,
you can choose power save mode or normal mode. The call quality
will be improved, but the machine also consumes more power.
Automatic screen shutdown:
If there is no button operation within the set time, the radio
will automatically shut down the screen.
Transmit prompt sound:
After enabling this function, press and release the PTT key
will emit a "beep" prompt sound, which will improve the call
experience. When this function is turned off, pressing the
PTT key will result in no prompt sound.
