User manual OREGON TP329

[. . . ] If someone else is using the same channel as yours, and you do not want to hear that person, you can select another channel or use the CTCSS feature. You can talk with a person who has the same transceiver if both are tuned to the same channel and/or CTCSS code. The CTCSS is like having a sub-channel within a channel, giving you greater communication flexibility. It lets you talk and listen to other transmitters set to BOTH the same channel and CTCSS code. [. . . ] NOTE: To re-enable the transceiver after automatic shut-off, simply press PWR button. You can directly charge Ni-MH rechargeable batteries without taking batteries out from the battery compartment by using an optional 2-bay cradle charger (sold separately). You can recharge up to two radios at the same time. The LED on the cradle charger will light red when the transceivers are charging. Complete charging takes about 14 to 1 6 hours. Located inside the transceiver's battery compartment is a charging switch, which enables the recharging of batteries. The switch must be set to `ON' when rechargeable batteries are used and recharged using the cradle. If alkaline batteries are used, the switch should be set to `OFF'. Displays when the volume of radio is being adjusted higher or lower. Displays when the voice detection mode is activated. Displays when the key tone function is activated. WARNING: Do not put transceivers into the charger when using alkaline batteries. CAUTION: The cradle charger does not automatically switch off after the batteries have been fully recharged. As such, there is a danger of overcharging, which may shorten the batteries' lifespan heavily. Please observe the following safety precautions when setting up and using this product.
