switch/ Volume control, PTT and MON still function normally.
THE select the super lock setting:
SETTING MODE
Many functions on this transceiver are selected or configured hrough the Menu instead of physical controls.
- With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the MENU key while turning the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).
- Press the key to select your desired Setting menu.
- Press the MENU key then press to select your desired value for the Setting menu.
- Press the MENU key to exit the selection.
- Press the PTT, MON, or CALL key to exit Setting Mode.
Setting Menu
CHANNEL FREQUENCY SETUP
You can change the default frequency of each channel.
- Enter the Setting Mode {page 25}.
- Press the key to select a channel.
- The current frequency table number appears beside the channel number.
- Press the MENU key then press to select the frequency table number for the channel.
- Press the MENU key to exit the selection, then repeat steps 2 and 3 to set additional channels.
- The marked CH numbers are the default channel settings.
SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When
scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops
if a signal is present.
If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and K>pens the
squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT does not match, the call
is ignored and scanning continues.
Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it is activated. You can
turn the scan function (the ability to perform scan) ON K>r OFF in Setting
Mode.
4 To end the scan at any time, press and hold the key for 1 second.
- The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before you started scanning.
REVERT CHANNEL
The revert channel is the channel from which you start scanning. So, for
example, if you are on channel 1 when you begin to scan, your revert channel
is channel 1.
During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically select he
transceiver’s revert channel (in the above example, channel 1) and you will
begin transmitting. However, if you are currently paused on another channel
after having received a signal (for example, channel 2), pressing the PTT
switch will allow you transmit on that channel, rather than returning to the
revert channel. Scanning will resume after 5 seconds, unless a signal is
present on the channel.
SQUELCH LEVEL
VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to
use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not
function with the built-in microphone. For best operation conditions, we
recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone
on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
VOX OPERATION
-
Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 5 {below}.
-
To transmit, speak into the headset microphone.
You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. The LED lights red. -
To stop transmitting, stop speaking.
Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop speaking. You can select the delay time as described on page 30. -
To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to “ (VOX function off).
Vox GAIN LEVEL
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you transmit. Due to
the automatic switching between transmission and reception, we recommend you
set the VOX gain level such that it will not activate when in an area with
excessive ambient noise.
- While adjusting the VOX Gain level, speak into the microphone. When an appropriate level is reached, the LED lights orange.
- Setting the VOX gain level to OFF deactivates VOX. In order to transmit with VOX turned off, you must use the PTT switch.
VOX DELAY TIME
If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after you start
speaking, the end of your message may not be transmitted.
To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time that allows your entire
message to be transmitted. However, do not make the delay overly long.
While adjusting the VOX Delay Time, speak into the microphone to simulate transmitting. The LED lights are orange while speaking, but no signal is transmitted at this time.
RANSMIT INHIBIT WHILE RECEIVING
while using VOX, you can set the transceiver to detect when the channel is in
use (in place of using the Monitor function).
With this function turned on, VOX will not allow you to transmit while the
channel is being used. You can transmit only when the channel is free. Setting
up the proceed tone function {page 32} will notify you when the channel is
free.
VOX PROCEED TONE
You can set the transceiver to sound an alert tone when you are able to
transmit (transmission is no longer inhibited).
- You can speak into the microphone at this time to simulate transmitting. The LED lights orange while speaking if your voice is at an appropriate level, but no signal is transmitted at this time.
CALL KEY FUNCTION
CALL KEY SETUP
You can set up the transceiver CALL key to perform the Call Alert function, or
you can turn the CALL key off (unused):
Call Alert: Pressing the CALL key before making a call will send your call
alert tone to your party members, identifying yourself before speaking.
CALL ALERT TONE
Call alert tones are used to identify yourself to your party members. You can
set up a call alert tone to one of types. If each party member uses a
different call alert tone, it is easy to know who is making the call. Pressing
the CALL key before making a call will send your call alert tone to your party
members.
CALL ALERT SIDE TONE
When the CALL key is pressed, the call alert tone will sound through your own
speaker as well.\
TO turn the Call Alert Side Tone on or off, on your own transceiver:
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
DISPLAY BACKLIGHT
You can set the display backlight to remain off, remain on, or Turn on when
you press any key other than the PTT switch (auto). When set to auto, the
backlight remains on for 5 seconds after pressing a key, before turning off
again.
MIC SENSE
You can adjust the sensitivity level of the transceiver microphone.
To select the mic sense:
TIME-OUT TIMER
The Time-out Timer prevents you from using a channel for extended durations.
This function is useful, for example, when out accidentally keep the PTT
switch pressed. Additionally, by limiting the amount of time you can
continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on battery power
consumption.
If you continuously transmit for 3 minutes (default value), the transceiver
will stop transmitting and a tone will sound. To stop he tone, release the PTT
switch. You can press the PTT switch again to resume transmitting.
To change the default value of 3 minutes:
This transceiver is also equipped with a pre-alert tone which lasts 10 seconds before the Time-out Timer expires. This will allow you time to finish your message before the transceiver automatically stops transmitting.
BATTERY SAVER
This transceiver has been designed to give you the most out of your battery
power. The battery-saver function decreases the amount of power used when a
signal is not being received and no operations are being performed.
While using the transceiver, the battery saver will automatically switch ON
after 5 seconds have elapsed with no operations or received calls. Operating
the transceiver or receiving a call will switch this feature OFF until 5
seconds of non-operation occurs again.
Note :
While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flash green when receiving a
QT/DQT signal that does not match the QT/DQT tone/code set up in your
transceiver.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
When turned ON, the battery level indicator on the display lets out know
approximately how much battery life is remaining.
When turned OFF, the battery level indicator will not be displayed.
When the battery voltage becomes too low while transmitting, he transceiver
stops transmitting, a tone sounds, and the LED blinks red until you release
the PTT switch. Recharge or replace
INCOMING CALL NOTIFICATION
Note:
To use Incoming Call Notification, you must set up a QT tone or a DQT code
{page 19}.
Incoming Call Notification is used to inform you of when a call is being
received. When activated, a tone is emitted when a busy signal is received and
the QT/ DQT signaling matches.
-
The tone will sound for 15 seconds before turning off.
-
While the tone sounds, you will not hear any audio from the speaker. Press any key to turn the tone off and listen to the received call.
After the call is finished, the transceiver will wait for 10 seconds before resetting. If you receive a new call within those 10 seconds, the tone will not sound. If no call is received within 10 seconds, Incoming Call Notification will reset so that the next time a call is received, the tone will sound again. To turn Incoming Call Notification on or off:
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
This function is used in order to prevent transmitting on a channel that
somebody else is currently using. When turned ON, a beep sounds when you press
the PTT switch while another party is using the channel, and you cannot
transmit.
BEEP TONE
When you press a key, a beep will emit from the transceiver.
Turn the beep tone on or off:
MODE RESET TIMER
This function returns the transceiver to the channel display after the preset timer expires while in Setting mode.
SELECTABLE POWER ON TONE
You can set up a tone to sound during power on to one of 3 ypes.
To set the power on tone type:
RESETTING THE TRANSCEIVER
At some point in time, you may desire to reset the transceiver settings to
their default values. (Default values are listed on pages 25 ~ 26.)
To reset the transceiver:
Note :
Reset will function even if Super Lock has been activated.
