4-3 DTMF AUTODIAL

• Code

Enter up to a 24-digit DTMF code for simple and quick DTMF code transmission.

The usable characters are 0–9, A–F (#/ used as F/E).

These codes may be used for control codes depending on signaling system.

When these special codes are used for the 1st digit code, the 1st Timer as above has priority over this setting.

The programmed continuous tone combinations can be used for temporary or permanent encoder and/or decoder operation.

Temporary operation;

Push [C. Tone CH Ent] switch, then select a continuous tone memory channel via [▲] or [▼] switch.

Permanent operation;

Select a continuous tone memory channel via [▲] or [▼] switch, while pushing and holding [C. Tone CH Ent] switch.

4-5 SCAN FUNCTION

• Mode

Selects scanning mode from the Mode 1, 2, 3 and OFF. Mode 1 : Normal scan. Scans all ‘Tag (Inh)’ or ‘Tag (Ena)’ selected channels. The scan proceeds in sequence from lower to higher

channel number.

Mode 2 : Priority scan. The priority channel is monitored every fixed time period during scan

(depending on version), or every specified time period programmed in the Stop Timer in this screen, as at right, during pause. The busy or paused channel is retained when scan is cancelled.

Mode 3 : Priority scan. Same scanning sequence as Mode 2 above. The priority channel is retained when scan is cancelled.

OFF : Scan function cannot be controlled from the transceiver keypad.

The scanning channels, ‘Tag (Inh)’ or Tag ‘(Ena)’, are selected in Scan in 4-1 MEMORY CH (p. 7).

The priority channel is selected in CH Atr in 4-1 MEMORY CH (p. 5).

Go to Scan Go to CH Atr

• Text

Enters up to a 7-character text to indicate messages, etc. during scanning.

When no text is programmed, scanning channel text or number is scrolled.

The usable characters are A–Z (uppercase), 0–9, $, ‘, (, ), –, /, <, =, >, @, [, \, ], _, |, ~.

• PWR Save

Selects power save capability during scanning.

Total scanning speed is decreased when the function is turned ON.

• Stop Timer

Enters time period for scan pausing on a busy channel (watching interval) when receiving a signal in scan mode 2 or 3 (priority scan), specified in Mode as at above left.

• Resume Timer

Enters time period for resuming scanning after signal disappears.

• PWR ON Scan

Selects automatic scan start capability at power ON from ON and OFF.

Also, automatically restarts scanning even once scanning is cancelled for call transmission or reception, etc., after a specified time has passed when the signal disappears or key operation is finished when ON is selected.

When SmarTrunk ON/OFF is selected in CH Atr in this screen (p. 5), “OFF” must be selected.

The scanning restart condition is selected in Auto Reset in 4-1 MEMORY CH (p. 7), and the time period is programmed in the Auto Reset— Timer A, Timer B in 4-7 COMMON (p. 17).

Go to CH Atr Go to Auto Reset

Go to Auto Reset— Timer A, Timer B

4-6 2TONE CODE CH

• Group Call

Selects which tone digit,1st or 2nd, is used for the group code.

• Text

Enter up to a 7-character text into the column directly.

The programmed text appears when a matched 2-tone code signal is received.

The usable characters are A–Z (uppercase), 0–9, $, ‘, (, ), –, /, <, =, >, @, [, \, ], _, |, ~.

• Bell

Selects the bell indicator condition when receiving a matched 2-tone from ON, Blink, Null, and OFF.

ON	: The bell indicator appears until operation of
	key.
Blink	: The bell indicator blinks until operation of
	key.
Null	: The bell indicator condition is not changed
	even when a matched code is received.
OFF	: The bell indicator goes off.

• ANS

Turns the answer back function ON and OFF.

The function transmits a 1 kHz single tone for 2 sec. when receiving a matched 2-tone.

• Beep

Selects beep type when matched 2-tone code is received from Pi, PiPi, PiRo, Pi/R, PiPi/R, PiRo/R, Null

and OFF.
Null	: Beep emission (or non emission) is retained
		even when matched 2-tone is received.
OFF	: Repeated beep emission is turned OFF.
Pi	:	1 high beep once.
PiPi	:	2 high beeps once.
PiRo	:	1 high and 1 low beep 3 times.
Pi/R	:	1 high beep repeated at the specified time
		period.
PiPi/R	:	2 high beeps repeated at the specified time
		period.
PiRo/R:		1 high, 1 low beep 3 times, repeated at the
		specified time period.

The repeating time period is programmed in the Beep Repeat Timer (p. 16) in this screen.

Go to Beep Repeat Timer

• Stun

Selects transceiver’s basic condition when matched 2- tone code is received from Kill, Stun and OFF.

Kill	: The transceiver cannot be used. Cloning is
	necessary to activate the transceiver.
Stun	: A message, “SORRY”, appears and trans-
	ceiver cannot be used. To use the transceiv-
	er, turn power OFF and ON again. At this
	time, password input is necessary if the
	power ON password is programmed in User
	Password in 4-7 COMMON (p. 17).
OFF	: The transceiver can be used continuously.
	Go to User Password

• Scan

Selects scanning condition when a matched 2-tone code is received from Cancel, Start and Null.

Cancel : Cancels the scan.

Start	: Starts the scan.
Null	: Scan condition is unaffected.

The cancelled or started scan type and conditions are specified in 4-5 SCAN FUNCTIONS (p.14), and the scanning can be restarted or cancelled via [Scan] switch, assigned in 4-2 KEY & DISPLAY ASSIGN (p. 9).

• Beep Repeat Timer

Enters beep emission repeating time period.

When “Pi/R”, “PiPi/R” or “PiRo/R” is selected in Beep in this screen (p. 15), beeps are repeated at this period.

Go to Beep

• Group Timer

Enter time period for group tone decoding.

The transceiver reads the tone as a group code in the case that the received tone is longer than the programmed time period.

• 2nd Tone Length

Enter time period for 2nd digit tone decoding within 0–2.55 sec.
