Changing Channels
The Terrain 850 has 8 available channels, and to communicate with other PMR users within range, you must all have your
PMRs tuned to the same channel.

NOTICE
Setting the CTCSS sub-channel
Each channel also has 38 sub-channels to let you set up a group of users within the same channel for more private
communication. If you have set a sub-channel, you can only communicate fully with other PMR users tuned to the same
channel and sub-channel, although PMR users just on the same channel and with no sub-channel set will be able to hear
you.
To turn the sub-channel function off, simply set the sub-channel to 0 (zero). You can communicate with any PMR user
set to the same channel who also turns off the sub-channel operation (or whose PMR unit does not have this feature).
• Press the MENU button twice, the current CTCSS sub-channel number flashes on the LCD screen.
• Press the UP or DOWN button to select one of the 38 CTCSS sub-channels.
• Press the PTT button to confirm the sub-channel setting.
Setting the DCS advanced digital code
Each channel also has 83 digital codes to let you set up a group of users for more secured private communication.
• Press the MENU button 3 times. The current DCS code flashes on the LCD screen.
• Press the UP or DOWN button to select the desired DCS code.
• Press the PTT button to confirm the DCS code setting.
