In the radio CPS under configuration / TX power you should be able to set the high and low power settings. Then in the conventional personality you have to choose high / low power.

No lower than 10 watts any lower can cause instability, spurious signals and transmitter transistor overheating.

This is why they are rated 10 to 25 watts.
