Note: when battery voltage becomes too low, transmission will stop and radio LED flashes
red. Please refer to “Low Battery Alert” for more details.
Time-Out-Timer (TOT)
The Time-Out-Timer (TOT) is used to prevent someone from using the same channel for
a long time and to prevent the radio from damage due to continuous transmission.
If the transmission exceeds the preset time (it’s set by your dealer), transmission will be
inhibited and a beep tone will sound. To stop the beep tone, release the [PTT] key. Press
the [PTT] key again to resume transmitting.
■ TOT Reset Time
When this feature is activated, TOT won’t reset until the preset TOT Reset Time (it’s set by
your dealer) expires, even if you have released the [PTT] key.
■
TOT Rekey Time
TOT Rekey Time is the duration that transmission is resumed after being inhibited by TOT.
When this feature is activated, transmission will remain inhibited until the preset TOT
Rekey Time (it’s set by your dealer) expires, even if you have pressed the [PTT] key.
14
■ TOT Pre-Alert
Your dealer can program a TOT Pre-Alert feature to alert you just before the TOT expires.
When this feature is activated, the radio will sound an alert tone at the preset TOT
Pre-Alert time (1-255s before the TOT expires). Transmission will be inhibited by TOT
after this time.
Battery Save
The Battery Save feature is enabled by your dealer to minimize the power consumption.
When there is no activity on the channel and no operation is performed for 10 seconds,
the Battery Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is received or an
operation is performed, the Battery Save feature is automatically deactivated.
Low Battery Alert
Low Battery Alert alerts you to recharge or replace the battery. During transmission, when
the battery voltage goes below a preset value, the LED indicator will flash red. When the
alert tone sounds, the radio stops transmitting. Please recharge or replace the battery.
Monitor
This feature is enabled/disabled by your dealer. In receive mode, press the
preprogrammed MONI key to monitor activities on the current channel. This operation is
especially useful for adjusting volume level or receiving a weak signal. The LED indicator
glows green in monitor mode.
Programmable Function Key
This key can be programmed as a shortcut to Monitor or High/Low Power feature, or set
inactive through the programming software. 3 types of key pressing can be defined:
● Short Press—quickly press and release the key within 1 second
● Long Press—press and hold the key for more than 1 second
● Press—press the key in any manner
15
High/Low Power
This feature is enabled/disabled by your dealer. In receive mode, press the
preprogrammed High/Low Power key to toggle between high and low power. Three beeps
alternating from high tone to low tone indicate that the transmit power is switched from
high to low; and three beeps alternating from low tone to high tone indicate that the
transmit power is switched from low to high.
Compatible Channel Bandwidth
The dealer can select wideband or narrowband channel bandwidth via PC programming
software.
2-Tone Encode & Decode
When 2-Tone signalling is set, press the function key while holding down the [PTT] key to
transmit the 2-Tone code. 2-Tone decode and CTCSS/DCS decode can be set to one of
the two signalling logics (“AND”/ “OR”) to achieve Selective Call feature (set by your
dealer). Parameter settings are made through PC programming software.
DTMF ANI
This feature is enabled/disabled by your dealer. DTMF ANI is encoded by PTT ID. Each
radio is assigned with one ANI code consisting of BOT ID (Beginning of Transmission) and
EOT ID (End of Transmission). Each channel can be programmed by PC programming
software to transmit/not transmit ANI code in transmit mode.
CTCSS/DCS Signalling
CTCSS/DCS may have been programmed on a channel to ignore unwanted calls from
other parties on the same channel. When CTCSS/DCS signaling is set, user will receive
the calls on the same channel only when the received signals contain the matching
CTCSS/DCS code; otherwise, the user receives all the calls on the same channel within
communication range.
16
The dealer can preset CTCSS/DCS signalling on all or just certain channels.
Note: Although using CTCSS/DCS enables you to avoid hearing unwanted calls, it does
not mean your calls will be private.
Signalling AND/OR Logic
Signalling "AND"/"OR" sets the audio unmute condition for any channel programmed with
2-Tone or CTCSS/DCS.
2-Tone AND CTCSS/DCS:
The squelch opens only when both 2-Tone and CTCSS/DCS are received and matches
the preset one on selected channel.
2-Tone OR CTCSS/DCS:
The squelch opens when either 2-Tone or CTCSS/DCS is received and matches the
preset one on selected channel.
Channel Scan
■ Priority Channel Scan
Any programmed channel may be set as the priority channel. The radio will check the
priority channel periodically while stopping on a non-priority channel. When there is any
activity on the priority channel, the radio will automatically switch to the priority channel for
communications.
■ Scan Revert Channel
If the radio is scanning and you press the [PTT] key, it will transmit on the preprogrammed
revert channel. The revert channel can be programmed by your dealer.
Busy Channel Lockout
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature is enabled by your dealer, it will prevent you from
talking on a channel that is already in use. When you press the [PTT] key, the radio will
sound a beep tone and will not transmit. Release the [PTT] key to stop the beep tone.
Wait until the channel is not in use before you again try to transmit.
