CTCSS/CDCSS CDCSS/CTCSS can be used to prevent unwanted conversations at the same frequency. If CTCSS/CDCSS is set on a certain channel, you can only receive voice calls from radios with matching CTCSS/CDCSS. Otherwise you will receive voice calls from all users operating at the same frequency. You may request your dealer to program corresponding parameters; alternately, you can program them manually through your radio by yourself. For more information, please refer to the section “RX CTC/CDC” and “TX CTC/CDC” in Manual Program on page 29. Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) Methods to transmit DTMF signaling: 1. Enter the menu Call List, select your desired contact entry, and press PTT to transmit; or 2. Press the programmed Call1-Call5 key to transmit; or Note: To enable this feature, DTMF signaling must be enabled on current channel via programming software by your dealer. 3. Enter the DTMF code on the home screen, and then press PTT to transmit. Note: The DTMF code is comprised of 0-9, A-D, * and #. During transmission, the LED glows red solidly; after transmission, it solidly glows orange within the auto reset time (programmed by your dealer). Decoding DTMF signaling: When a channel is programmed to receive DTMF signaling, the radio will decode matching DTMF signaling only. When the radio is receiving DTMF signaling, the LED glows green solidly; after it successfully receives the signaling, the LED keeps flashing orange for a predefined time period.  When an Emergency alarm is received The radio will sound a fixed Emergency alert tone when it receives an Emergency Alarm (an Emergency ID should be programmed at first).
30  When an individual call is received The radio will sound a personalized alert tone when it receives an Individual Call (an Individual Call ID should be programmed at first).  When a group call is received The radio will sound a personalized alert tone when it receives a Group Call (a Group Call ID should be programmed at first).  When calls of other types are received If the radio is programmed to display IDs, such IDs will be displayed on the LCD when calls of other types are received.  Types of Response Your radio may be set to give any of the following types of response, when it receives an individual call or group call: 1) The radio gives no response. 2) Silent Alert: The LCD will display “Alert Call Received”, but no sound alert will be given. 3) Sound Alert: The LCD will display “Alert Call Received” with sound alert, and only the sound alert will automatically reset. 4) Select Call Alert: The LCD will display “Select Call Received” with sound alert. Both the sound alert and displayed text will automatically reset.  ACK (Acknowledge): If the ACK feature is enabled, the radio will send back a single tone or its PTT ID to the calling party when it receives an individual call or group call. Note: Please request your dealer to program the individual call ID, group call ID and emergency call ID, as well as response method, ID display feature and ACK feature of DTMF decoding.
