4.0 OPERATION
4.1 Installation and Progr am ming
As the KG510 can be installed to operate as either a Base Station or as a Repeater, some of the
instructions in t his document may apply to one application only, some may apply in bot h cases, while
others may only apply if the particular f unctio n has been enabled during pr ogr amming of the KG510.
The KG510 must be progr ammed before it will oper ate corre ctly. This is best done by the eq uipme nt
supplier or a competent radio trades man. They will r eq uire t he Kyodo 51 BS pr ogr ammi ng sof tw ar e t o
do this correctly.
It is important that t he KG 510 be correct ly installed at its working location. It is recomme nded that this
be done by a competent radio tradesma n.
As a mini mum, it is necessary to:
Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Reg ul ated DC Power supply t hat
•
has sufficient capacity. ( Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct) .
Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas. (Ensure that the VSWR of the
•
antennas is correct) .
Insert the Kyodo KD561 Microp hone into the microp hone connector on the front panel.
•
4.2 Basic Operation
4.2.1 Switch On
Switch the KG510 "ON" by pressi ng the knob (12) and then check that the LED indicator ( 13)
is illuminated.
4.2.2 Adjust the Volume Setting
Rotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until the
audio level from the speaker is suitable.
4.2.3 Adjust the Squelch Setting
Rotate t he Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise positio n) s lowly until t he
background noise ca n no l onger be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further in t he
clockwise direction (so that variations in the background noise level do not "break" the
squelch setting and cause annoying squelch noises to be heard fr om the speaker).
4.2.4 Select the Channel
Select the required channel by pressing the [SHIFT] key followed by the channel number
keys within two seconds. E.g. [SHIFT] + [0] + [1] to select channel #1. The LCD Display
should now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name:
"CH01 Kyodo-co".
4.2.5 Receiving
You sho uld now be able to hear any radio traf fic t hat occurs on cha nnel #1 on the KG510. It
may be necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening
requirements.
4.2.6 Transmitting
Dependi ng on the lega l requirements i n your country, and the operating r equirements w ithin
your orga nisatio n, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will probably be
necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start of your
transmission.
Whe n transmitting, it is necessary to hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouth
and speak clearly into the grill of the m ic rophone.
It is also necessary to press and hold the Press To Talk (PTT) bar on the side of the
microphone depress ed w hile speaki ng into the microp hone.

not
been programmed into the KG510.
4.4 Signalling
The KG510 includes some very sop histic ated signalling capab ilities. We suggest that you have your
radio supplier conduct some tr ai ning on the use of these capabilities prior t o using t hem.
While it is possible to use these signalling capabilities in both repeater mode, and in base station
mode, many will o n ly b e use ful i n pr a c tice whe n the KG510 is used in base station configuratio n.
The KG510 supports the 5-Tone sequential, and/or the DTMF, and the Single Tone sig nall ing for mats.
The required sig nalling format( s ) must be enabled whe n the KG510 is programmed.
4.4.1 5-Tone Signalling
4.4.1.1 Available Tones
5-Tone signalling is commonly referred to as Selective Calling (or Selcall) and usually
comprises of a series of 5 tones sequentially transmitted or received in accordance with
certain international standards. It is possible to use longer sequences to enhance the
signalling capabilit ies and to provide further functions.
Accordingly, the KG510 will e ncode up to sixteen (16) tones and decode up to eight (8)
tones.
These tones can be any of the following:
[0] - [9], and [A] - [D]
The most recently entered tone can be recalled and deleted by pressing the [ ] key
repeatedly.
4.4.1. 2 Enteri ng a 5-To ne Encode Sequence
When switched "ON", the KG510 carries out its self-test routine, and then waits ready to
accept 5-Tone e ncode numbers. Accordingly, it is only necessary to enter the required 5Tone digits directly usi ng t he keypa d, and then pressing the [#] key to transmit the 5-Tone
sequence. (Up to sixteen digits can be entered) .
If it is necessary to enter t he "R" number seq uence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] ke y
must be pressed bef or e pressing the [#] key .
If a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [#] k ey is pr ess ed, t hen the KG510
will reca ll the mos t re c e nt 5 -Tone n u mbe r and t ransmit it .
128194 Page #11 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000
Page 12
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL
4.4.1. 3 Recalling t he last encode seque nce
Pressing the [ ] will recall the most recent 5-Tone encode sequence and display the
seque nce i n t he LCD disp lay. Further pres ses of t he [ ] key will dele te the las t digit of the
seque nce unt il all d igit s ar e dele ted . I n prac tic e users will us ually de let e the last o ne or tw o
digits before entering the new digits.
4.4.2 DTMF Signalling
4.4.2.1 Available Tones
The followi ng DTMF tones can be used:
[0] - [9], [A] - [D], [ ], and [#]
NOTE:
Tone [B] is NOT availab le if the "Attach Decode No" field in the DTMF Encode Menu
has been set to "ON".
Up to sixteen (16) DTMF digits can be encoded in one calling sequence.
4.4.2. 2 DTMF Tone Entry
There are two methods of entering DTMF tones. The specific tone encoding format is
selected during the programming of the KG510 transceiver in the <Main Menu><Encode
Set>< DTMF Encode><At t ach Decode No.> field.
4.4.2. 2.1 Attac h Decode No. "OFF" for mat
Pressing the PTT lever first automatically selects the DTMF encoding format and allows
direct entry of DTMF tones.
Hold t he PTT lever on t he microp ho ne depressed while pressing the required DTM F tones .
The tones w ill b e tra nsmitted a s the keys a re being pres s ed .
4.4.2. 2.2 Attac h Decode No. "O N" format
Attach Decode No. "O N" automatical ly encodes the users DTMF decode number after the
encode number. This ca n be used for ANI purposes.
Enter the req uired DTMF tones (up t o sixt een tones except "B" tone) and then transmit the
total tone sequenc e (incl udi ng t he users decode number) by pressing the [#] key . All tones
will be tr ansmitted in one conti n uo us s eque n c e a fte r pr e s s ing t he [ # ] key .
Pres s ing the [ ] ke y will dele te t he las t ente r e d nu mbe r.
Always conf irm t hat the LCD is cle ar before proc eeding as it may take up to 5 seconds for
the tones to be sent.
e.g. Assume that your decode number is 12345, and that you wish to encode number
12346. You will i np ut 12346, and then press the [#] k ey. The KG510 will e ncode
12346B12345. The call ed r adio w ill d is pla y 12 3 45 in the ir LCD i ndicati ng the
calling party's number is 12345.
NOTE: The "B" tone is used as the delimiter in this encoding format and t herefor e CA NNOT
be used as a DTMF tone.
Pres s ing the [S HIFT] ke y a nd t hen t he [ #] w ill e ncod e ONLY the encode number (and not t he
decode number).

4.4.4 KILL Signalling
The KG510 has the ability t o transmit a specially coded signalli ng sequence that w ill disab le
("KILL") another radio. This feature is particularly useful when transceivers become
misplaced, are stolen, if they are used in an incorrect manner, or if they are used for the
wrong purposes.
To prevent accidental or mischievous "KILLI NG" of radios, several security features are in
place.
Firstly, the KG510 must have this functio n enabled d uri ng program ming.
Secondly, the user must know the req uired passw ord and e nter it cor rectly into t he KG510,
and,
Thirdly, the user must know the required "KILL" number ( of the r adio to be "KILLED", and
enter it correc t ly into the KG510.
The "KILL" password has four numerica l digits. [0] to [9].
With 5-Tone signalling systems, the "KILL" number for a particular radio comprises of the
radio's decode number + D + the radio's KILL number.
With DTMF signalling systems, the "KILL" number for a particular radio comprises of the
radio's decode number + A + the radio's KILL number. I n the case of DTMF signalling, both
the decode number and the KILL number must have more than four digits.
4.4.4. 1 Kill Signalling Oper at ion
