SCRAMBLER
Although the scrambler function does not offer complete
privacy with your calls, it does prevent others from easily
listening in on your calls. When activated, the transceiver
distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your call will
be unable to clearly hear what you are saying.
In order for members of your own group to clearly hear your
call while you are using the scrambler, all other members
must also activate the scrambler functions on their
transceivers. This distorts everybodys voice while
transmitting and corrects the voice message on your own
transceiver when you receive the call.
To activate the scrambler, press the key programmed as
Scrambler.
The icon appears on the display while the scrambler is active.
To deactivate the scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.
Note: There are 2 options for using the scrambler. Your dealer can
activate or deactivate the built-in scrambler function of the
transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler board
to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.
