Transmitting

Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference.

Take the microphone off-hook. q

• While scanning, the scan stops.

Wait for the channel to become clear. w

• The channel is busy when the LED indicator lights green.

While holding down [PTT], speak at a normal voice e
level.
Release [PTT] to receive. r

NOTE:

To maximize the readability of your signal:

1. After pushing [PTT], pause briefly before you start
speaking.

2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)
from your mouth, then speak at your normal voice
level.

Transmitting notes D

• Transmit inhibit function

The transceiver has several inhibit functions which re­strict transmission under the following conditions:

- The channel is busy.

- An unmatched CTCSS tone or DTCS code is re­ceived, depending on the presetting.

- An unmatched or matched RAN code is received,
depending on the presetting.

- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.

• Time-out timer (TOT)

After continuous transmission for a preset time pe­riod, the time-out timer causes the transceiver to stop
transmitting.

• TOT Rekey timer

Once transmission is cut OFF, it is further inhibited for
a period determined by the TOT Rekey timer.

• MDC 1200 system operation

The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your trans­ceiver’s capabilities. It allows PTT ID signaling.
When you push or release [PTT], the transceiver
sends your unit ID, if preset.

ID 0001

each channel and stops when a signal is received.

Push [Scan] each time to start or stop a scan. ➥

• “ ” appears while scanning.

• When the transceiver detects a signal, the scan pauses

on the channel. The transceiver remains on the busy

resumes.

SCAN

While scanning

NOTE: Two or more channels must be programmed
to start a scan.

For your reference:

Before starting a scan, set the following items:

• Set 3 scan types in the transceiver: Single, Multi or

List.

• Set the scan type in both the conventional and trunk­ing zones.

• Set Priority channels, but only in conventional type

zones.

When you select a conventional zone, trunking zones
are not scanned.
When you select a trunking zone, conventional zones
are not scanned.

Select the desired zone to start scanning.

• Single: The transceiver scans the preset target

channels or GIDs in only the selected zone.

For a Priority scan, all Priority channels will

also be scanned, even if they are in other
conventional type zones.

• Multi: The transceiver scans the preset target

channels or GIDs in only the preset target
zones.

For a Priority scan, all Priority channels will

also be scanned, even if they are in other
conventional type zones.

• List: The transceiver scans the preset target

channels or GIDs in only the zones that are
preset on the Scan List.

For a Priority scan, all Priority channels will

also be scanned, even if they are in conven­tional type zones that are not on the List.

NOTE:

NXDN system operation

NXDN is a “Common Air Interface” (CAI), the name for
over-the-air methods by which transceivers and repeat­ers communicate. NXDN defines the next-generation
digital protocol.

The NXDN system has two operating modes, conven­tional and trunking.
In an NXDN conventional system, you should manually
search for a clear channel.
In an NXDN trunking system, the repeater automati­cally searches for a clear channel, and sends the infor­mation to the transceivers.
In addition, Type-C requires a Control Channel repeat­er.

If you use an NXDN transceiver, you can transmit and
receive Individual Calls, Group Calls, Status Messages,
Short Messages, and so on.

Memory Stack

The transceiver has a Memory Stack. When the trans­ceiver receives a Status Message or a Short Message,
the received content is stored in the transceiver’s Mem­ory Stack.
If you turn OFF the transceiver’s power, the contents
will be cleared.

The stored messages are displayed using the following
indication.
