Low power operation

The radio can be operated in low power mode. In this mode battery life
time is dramatically increased. Up to the first second of a received call
might be lost if this mode is selected. Refer to SLEEP on page 18.

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System

Selective squelch opening by sub-tone detection (CTCSS) can be enabled,
using the configuration mode (see CTCSS on page 21). Please note that if
the radio is operating with CTCSS on a channel, and a carrier is received,
it may not be recognized in the loud speaker if the matching sub-tone is
not detected. For this reason, be very careful not to use CTCSS
programmed channels in emergency situations. For the same reason
transmitting is prohibited (reporting "BUSY") if a (silent) carrier
containing any sub-tone is active on the channel while pressing PTT

.

Channels programmed with CTCSS will have a clear identification in the
service field, e.g. "CTCSS 22", while selected. Not all channels are allowed
for CTCSS use.

For maritime channels CTCSS is automatically disabled when

• Product is turned off

• A new channel is selected

For private channels, the feature will remain until manually removed.

1616

Operation

12

Scrambler

On channels where it is allowed, you can set up voice scrambling, using
configuration mode (see SCRM on page 22).

Please note that if the radio is operating with scrambling on a channel, it
is impossible to communicate with other radios that are not programmed
with the same scrambler code. For this reason, be very careful not to use
scrambled channels in emergency situations. Scrambled channels will
have a clear identification in the service field, e.g. "SCRM 3", while
selected. Not all regions allow the use of voice scrambling.

For maritime channels scrambling is automatically disabled when

• Product is turned off

• A new channel is selected

For private channels, scrambling will remain until manually removed.

Narrow band operation

The radio is prepared for narrow band operation. (see BAND on page 22).

Narrow band configuration is indicated with an “n” next to the channel
designator.

Note

Prior to any initiation of scrambling, the operator must always
identify the calling station in clear voice (unscrambled) on that
channel. Use of scrambling may also be restricted by national
laws.

1616

Operation

13

Alive beep

To enable “ALIVE” function do as follows:

1. Select the channel where ALIVE function is desired to be transmitted.

2. Press and hold the Hi/Lo until you see “ALIVE ON” on the radio
display. It takes approx. a second.

3. Now “ALIVE” is transmitted by a "beep" on the working channel, with
approx. 4-second intervals.

To deactivate “ALIVE” function do as follows:

• Press and hold the Hi/Lo pressed until “ALIVE ON” no longer appears
on the radio display. It takes approx. a second.

“ALIVE” function is also deactivated when

• The channel is changed.

• The radio is turned OFF and ON again.

• Watch or scanning is enabled.

• Squelch is open.

Refer to ALIVE on page 24

Channel read-out

In some use cases the display is not directly visible to the user (e.g. if the
radio is used in a belt or pocket). Consequently, when changing to a new
channel (using the Up and Down buttons) the user cannot positively
know which channel is now the current one.

The channel read-out feature, however, enables users to get audible
feedback on channel name in a connected headset (or speaker-mike)

1616

Operation

14

upon channel change (the name of the new channel will be announced
in the headset).

Please note that this feature is disabled as default and can be enabled
either through the Portable Radio Service Tool or the menu settings in
the radio (see chapter 4 for more information).

Please also note that this feature requires external equipment with a
speaker, hence, although the feature is enabled the new channel will not
be announced in the speaker of the radio.

Please also note that if the Monitor function is enabled, the new channel
will not be announced in the speaker of the radio or the head-set
although the channel read-out feature is enabled and a head-set is
connected.

Connecting external equipment

Connect the dedicated interface cable between the external equipment
and the top connector on the radio.

When external equipment is connected
to the radio, the right side of the display
will show a headset.

Impact on radio operation

The external equipment can have a built-in PTT button, speaker and
microphone. Thus a connection has per default the following impact on
the radio operation:

• If a speaker or earpiece is built into the detected external equipment,
the sound device of the external equipment is used, and the internal
radio speaker is disabled.

Battery life guidelines

Battery (rechargeable)

During daily use, always keep the battery fully charged and away from
hot areas.

Keep the battery terminals dry and clean.

Never discharge beyond the specifications of the battery.

Operation/Standby time depends on usage. Generally, the more the radio
is transmitting, the faster it will drain the battery. Also, the “Hi” power
setting will drain the battery faster than the “Lo” setting.

Approximate figures are:

• A battery can be stored for 4 to 6 month at 25°C if charged to 40%.

• The battery will normally last for 5 to 9 hours of use on a fully
charged battery.

Note

New batteries should be placed in the charger CH3505, CH3507
or CH3508 for minimum 12 hours first time.
