5.2 One-Key Frequency Match (Frequency Copy)

This feature allows you to quickly identify and save a transmitting frequency from another radio.

1. Hold down the '1' key on the radio.
2. The radio will identify the frequency when another radio transmits.
3. You can then save this frequency directly to a new channel. (Refer to Menu 47 for On/Off settings).

5.4 DTMF Lock (Privacy Protection)

The DTMF Lock feature provides privacy protection by allowing you to remotely lock or stun a radio using DTMF codes.

• Kill Code: Setting a Kill Code on the Odmaster app allows another radio with DTMF functionality to send a code to lock your TD-H3, rendering it unusable until unlocked.
• Stun Code: Setting a Stun Code limits your TD-H3 radio to only receive signals.
• Codes should be at least 5 digits. For example, a Kill/Stun code could be 12345, and the unlock code would be 12345#.
