MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

ular feature operates, contact your system operator. The only user-
programmable feature of this transceiver is the seven telephone numbers
(if your transceiver is equipped with the optional telephone keypad).
However, even that may not be user programmable if the location has
been locked by your system operator (see “Storing and Recalling
Numbers From Memory” on page 18).
Setting Volume Level
This transceiver does not have a squelch control that can be turned to
enable background noise for use in setting the volume level. However, if
the key press tone is enabled, any key can be pressed and a beep will
sound that is representative of the current volume level. The index on the
volume knob can also be used to determine the current volume setting.
