• You may need to adjust the volume more precisely while communicating with another party.

Note: If your dealer programmed Monitor A or Monitor B onto a PF key, you can press that key to hear background noise while adjusting the volume level (refer to “MONITOR” on page 19).

SELECTING A GROUP OR CHANNEL

Select the desired group or channel using the keys programmed as Group Up/ Down or Channel Up/Down.

• If a group or channel has not been programmed, it cannot be used.

Note:

◆

Group Up/Down cannot be used on the TK-762G/ TK-862G transceivers.

◆

TK-760G/ TK-860G features 128-channel capacity. In order to manage 128 channels easily, one or more programmed channels can be bundled together as a group.

◆

Your dealer may have programmed both Group Up/Down and Channel Up/Down keys. In this case, select the desired group and channel number. Please consult your dealer for details.

PLACING A CALL

1 Make sure no parties are currently transmitting on your selected channel. 2 Press the PTT switch, then speak into the microphone in your normal

speaking voice.

• For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone approximately

1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.

3 Release the PTT switch to receive.

RECEIVING A CALL

Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signalling on your transceiver. If your selected channel is programmed with one of these features, you will hear calls only when another party in your system makes a call. All other calls will not be heard.

If your selected channel is not set up with QT or DQT, you will hear calls made by any party (not just those in your system).

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel, and only stops on a channel if a signal is present.

The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and scan resumption. If a signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.

Note:

◆

You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least 2 channels on the transceiver . Also, there must be at least 2 channels not locked out of Scan.

◆

Ask your dealer for an explanation on how Channel Scan functions when using Code Squelch, Selective Call, or 2-T one signalling.

• Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends through the channel numbers.

• The SCN icon and “SCAN” appear on the display.

To end Scan, press the Scan key again.

PRIORITY SCAN

If your dealer set up a priority channel on your transceiver, the transceiver will continuously monitor that channel while receiving a signal on another channel. When a signal is received on the Priority channel, the transceiver immediately switches to that channel. (“P” appears on the display.)

The transceiver remains on the Priority channel until the signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and scan resumption.

CHANNEL LOCKOUT

If programmed by your dealer, you can select channels to lock out of the scanning sequence. Perform the following steps while not in Scan mode.

1 Use the keys programmed as Channel Up and Channel Down to select the

channel you want to lock out of Scan.

2 Press the key programmed as Scan Del/Add.

to receive.

• When you release the PTT switch and the 2-Tone Encode key, squelch turns OFF and the LED indicator flashes orange (depending on dealer programming). When you receive a signal, the LED indicator alternates between green and orange. When the signal drops out, the LED indicator flashes orange again. If no signal is received for a pre-determined time, squelch turns back ON.

• Pressing the key programmed as Monitor at any time will turn the squelch back ON.

Note: The code for the TK-762G series/ TK-862G series transceiver is not selectable. You cannot change the tone in step 2 by using the Channel Up and Channel Down keys.

2-TONE SIGNALLING

TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time.

If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.

Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you before the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for the time specified by your dealer will cause the warning tone to sound.

BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)

The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or deactivated by your dealer. When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may

be using the same channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone and transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to stop the tone and return to receive mode.

TALK-AROUND

You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power failure, etc.). During such an occurence, you can continue communication by using the Talk-Around feature, if it has been programmed by your dealer. TalkAround allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers, without the use of a repeater. However, if the station you want to contact is too far away, or there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact the station.

Toggle Talk-Around ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as Talk- Around.

• TK-760G/ TK-860G only: “T” or “TA” appears on the display while Talk-Around is active.

• TK-760G/ TK-860G only: AUX flashes orange.

• When using Talk-Around, the “receive” frequency is used for both transmission and reception, and the QT/DQT “decode” signalling is used for both encoding and decoding.

HORN ALERT

When a call is received that has correct DTMF codes or 2-tone signalling, Horn Alert causes the vehicle horn or some other external alert to sound. This function notifies you of a received call when you are out of your vehicle.

Toggle Horn Alert ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as Horn Alert.
