4.6 DTMF Function and Privacy Protection

The TD-H3 supports DTMF functions, including a privacy protection feature:

• Kill Code: Set a 5-digit Kill Code via Odmaster. Any radio on the same frequency can dial this code to lock your H3. The radio will remain inactive until the same digits followed by "#" are sent. Example: 12345 to kill, 12345# to wake.
• Stun Code: Similar to the Kill Code, a Stun Code limits your H3 radio to receive signals only, preventing transmission.
