Here is how you would turn V995’s
AutoMute feature off.
1 Enter the Program Mode by holding
both the CITY and BRT buttons down for 2
seconds. V995 will beep twice and display
Program.

will scroll through the categories, starting
with Display (Pilot), then Voice(Voice),
then Power-On sequence (PwrOn), then
Signal Strength Meter (Meter), and then
AutoMute (aMute).

shows the AutoMute item. Since the
factory setting is for AutoMute to be on,
V995 will display aMute ON.
(If you accidentally don’t release the
Review button in time, and V995 goes to
the next category, hold the RVW button
down again, and after V995 scrolls
through all categories, it will begin again
at the top of the list.)
