You may communicate with an unlimited number of PMR 446 handsets in conference. aTTENTION: All the handsets must be tuned to the same channel and the same CTCSS code to intercommunicate. When using the handset, take care when communicating confidential information, as another PMR 446 handset near your FX-100 which is tuned into the same channel may listen to your conversation. Communication takes place alternately: if another handset is transmitting, you must wait for the transmission to end before speaking (pressing the PTT communication button on the left side of the handset and holding it down) and vice versa. Your handset can communicate on one of the 8 channels available. For every channel it is possible to set even just one of the 38 CTCSS codes: you will hear only the conversations of the PMR 446 handsets tuned to the same channel and CTCSS code. All other conversations will be filtered, If you choose 0 as your CTCSS code, the CTCSS filter will be deactivated and you will only hear the communications of the channel chosen. NOTE: If another user on the same channel uses a PMR 446 without CTCSS codes or with the code deactivated, he may listen to your transmissions, even though you cannot listen to his. Press the MENU button again, the number of the CTCSS code will start flashing. To return to stand-by, press and immediately release the PTT communication button; the parameters set up to now will be saved. If no button is pressed for 6 seconds during programming, the handset will automatically return to stand-by and the changes will be confirmed.
