Non-selective calling

BASIC OPERATION

Call procedure

When your system uses tone signaling (except CTCSS and DTCS), a call procedure may be necessary prior to voice transmission� The tone signaling employed may be a selective calling system, enabling you to call only specific stations and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you�

1� Select a channel according to your system

operator’s instructions�

L This may not be necessary, depending on the

presetting�

2� Push [Call]� 3� After transmitting, the remainder of your

communication can be carried out in the normal way�

audio output level to a comfortable listening level�

NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the transceiver may automatically transmit the microphone audio for the preset period of time when a matched 2-Tone signal is received (Auto TX function)�

DTransmitting

1� Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference� 2� Hold down [PTT] to transmit�

L When a tone signaling system is used, the call

procedure described to the right may be necessary�

3� Release [PTT] to receive�

IMPORTANT:

To maximize the readability of your signal: 1� After pushing [PTT], pause briefly before you

start speaking�

2� Hold the microphone 5 ~ 10 cm (2 ~ 4 inches)

from your mouth, then speak at your normal voice level�

DTransmitting notes

Transmit inhibit function

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

• The channel is in the Inaudible mode�

• The channel is busy� However, depending on the presetting, you can transmit when a call is received that includes a non-matching (or matching) CTCSS (DTCS)�

• The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel�

Time-Out Timer

If continuous transmission exceeds the preset Time-Out Timer time, the transmission is cut off�

Penalty timer

After the Time-Out Timer cuts off the transmission, the transmission is further inhibited for a preset penalty period of time�

ADVANCED OPERATION

Emergency call

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the dealer

sets up an Emergency channel to provide a reliable Emergency call operation�

NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the following functions may be automatically activated�

Auto TX function

After transmitting an Emergency call, the transceiver transmits the microphone audio for a preset period of time�

Auto RX function

After transmitting an Emergency call, the transceiver stands by in the Audible mode for a preset period of time�

TIP: A user can transmit the Emergency call using 2-Tone or MDC 1200�

DTransmitting an Emergency call

When the transceiver enters the Emergency mode, a countdown starts� The transceiver counts down during the Reminder Timer set time� Before the Reminder Timer set time expires, the transceiver transmits an Emergency call once, or repeatedly*, on the specified Emergency channel� If no Emergency channel is specified, the Emergency call is made on the previously selected channel�

* Depending on the presetting�

L The transceiver automatically transmits a repeat

Emergency call until it receives an acknowledgment, or until a user turns OFF the transceiver�

L If the transceiver is set for the Silent operation, it

transmits an Emergency call without a beep sounding or the status indicator lighting�

The transceiver enters the Emergency mode through the following functions:

The [Emergency] key

When a user holds down [Emergency] for the Emer SW ON Timer preset time�

L If a user holds down [Emergency] for the Emer SW OFF

Timer set time before the Reminder Timer expires, the Emergency mode is canceled�
