Basic Operation
Microphone Gain Setting
The microphone gain has been programmed at the factory to a level that should be
satisfactory for the supplied MH-48A6JA Microphone. If an after-market microphone is
used, you may wish to set a different Mic Gain level.
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “MIC GAIN
17”.
3. Press the [MHz(SETUP)] key, then rotate
the DIAL knob to select the desired microphone gain level (LEVEL 1 - LEVEL 9).
Default: LEVEL 5
4. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
one second to save the new setting and exit
to normal operation.
RF Squelch
A special RF Squelch feature is provided on this radio, which allows setting the squelch so
that only signals exceeding a pre-set S-meter level will open the squelch.
Use the following procedure to set up the RF squelch circuit for operation:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “RF SQL 27”.
3. Press the [MHz(SETUP)] key, then rotate
the DIAL knob to select the desired signal
strength level for the squelch threshold (S1 S8 or OFF).
Default: OFF
4. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
one second to save the new setting and exit
to normal operation.

Tone Search
When the CTCSS tone being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune
the radio to the incoming signal and activate tone scan to search for and identify the tone
being used.
To scan for the tone in use:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decoder operation (see the description in the box
shown below.).
“T SQ” will appear on the display.
2. Press the Programmable key on the MH-48A6JA Microphone that is assigned “CD
SRCH” (see page 4) to start scanning for the incoming CTCSS code.
3. When the radio detects the correct tone, scanning will halt on that tone, and audio will
be allowed to pass.
4. Press the assigned Programmable key of the Microphone to lock in that tone and exit
to normal operation.
Note: You may listen to the (muted) signals from the other stations during Tone Scanning
when Set Mode Item “TS MUTE 39” is set to “OFF”. See page 31 for details.
You can also change the Tone Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item “TS
SPEED 40” See page 32 for details.
CTCSS Decoder Operation
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “SQL TYPE 34”.
3. Press the [MHz(SETUP)] key, and then rotate the DIAL knob to select “TSQL”.

Advanced Operation
EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) Operation
The FTM-3100R/E includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated
microprocessor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows placing a call
to a specific station (Paging), and choosing to receive calls directed only to you (Code
Squelch).
The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS
tones, which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent until
it receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory.
The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds,
if activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair that is
stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically.
On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.
Storing CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “PAG CD-R
21” for the Receiving CTCSS Tone Pair or
“PAG CD-T 22” for the Transmitting CTCSS
Tone Pair.

3. Press the [MHz(SETUP)] key momentarily to
enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS
Tone number, which corresponds to the first
tone of the CTCSS Tone Pair.
5. Press the [SQL] or [V/M(MW)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS Tone
number, which corresponds to the second
tone of the CTCSS Tone Pair.
6. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for one second to lock in that tone and exit to
normal operation.
Note: The FTM-3100R/E does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd tone.
In other words, for example, the FTM-3100R/E considers both CTCSS pairs “05,
47” and “47, 05” to be identical.

DTMF Operation
DTMF tones (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tones you hear when dialing from a
telephone keypad. The FTM-3100R/E transceiver can transmit the DTMF codes by using
the keys on the microphone or recalling registered number strings from memories.
The maximum of 16-digit DTMF codes can be registered in up to 10 memory channels.
It is convenient to register telephone patch numbers, and network linking sequences to
the DTMF memory channels.
Note: The two combined frequencies of the DTMF tone transmitted for each key are
indicated in the following table:
1209 Hz 1336 Hz 1477 Hz 1633 Hz
697 Hz 1 2 3 A
770 Hz 4 5 6 B
852 Hz 7 8 9 C
