pofung BAOFENG F8 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 6

The higher is the level, the louder will be the Squelch. By
default, the Squelch level of F8 is set on level 4. Make sure
you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in
this case you may not be able to receive weaker signals.
On the other hand an excessively low Squelch value could
enable the Squelch even when no signals are present.
Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are
present. The Time Out timer is settable from 30 sec to 270
sec. only through the programming software. This feature is
disabled by default.
CTCSS/DCS tones
CTCSS and DCS tones are similar to access codes and
enable the radio to communicate only with the users that
are tuned on the same channel and have set the same
code. For each channel, you can set up to 50 CTCSS tones
and 210 DCS codes. The CTCSS/DCS tones are a sort of
"access codes" and enable the radio to communicate only
with the other users set on the same frequency and on the
same CTCSS/DCS tone. Undesired signals coming from
other stations set on the same frequency but with different
CTCSS/DCS tones won't be received.
Flashlight
With F8 turned on, shortly press the Side key 2 to turn
on/off the flashlight at the top side of the radio.
Prompt voice switch settings
The encoder is selected to the 10th channel. Press and
hold the PTT and Side Key 1 to turn on the radio, and turn
the prompt voice on or off.
Turn on the prompt voice function, and there will be voice
prompts when the encoder is turned on or operated. If you
turn off the prompt voice function, there is only a "beep"
prompt when you turn on or operate the encoder.
Vox
The VOX feature enables hands free conversations without
using PTT: just speak in the direction of the microphone and
the communication will be automatically activated. The VOX
sensitivity can be adjusted in 5 different levels (1...5)
through the programming software:
Level 2 is set by default and has the lowest VOX sensitivity,
5 is the lowest one.
