TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP
D
Tone squelch and DTCS squelch
The tone squelch (CTCSS) or DTCS squelch opens only
when receiving a signal that includes a matched CTCSS tone
or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for calls
using the same tone or code. Separate tone frequencies can
be set for repeater and tone squelch/pocket beep operation.
D
Pocket beep
The pocket beep function uses subaudible tones or DTCS
codes for calling, and can be used as a “common pager” to
inform you that someone has called while you were away
from the transceiver.

DTMF MEMORY
The transceiver has 3 methods of transmitting a DTMF code
sequence. Select a desired option in the Set mode.
q Push [FUNC](M), and then [SET](8) to enter the Set mode.
w Push [] or [] to select the DTMF TX key item (dmt).
e Rotate [VOL] to select a desired option.
• dmt.k : Transmits the appropriate DTMF code assigned to the
pushed key.
• dmt.m :
Transmits the programmed DTMF code sequence in the
DTMF memory channel assigned to the pushed key.
• dmt.t : No DTMF code can be transmitted. However, while
pushing and holding [PTT], pushing either the [] or
[] transmits a 1750 Hz tone burst signal.
r Push [# ENT] to exit the Set mode.
D Manual DTMF code transmission
First, set the DTMF TX key to
“dmt.k” in the Set mode.
➥ While pushing and holding [PTT], push the desired keys
to transmit a DTMF code sequence manually.
• Push [0]–[9] for “0”–“9,” [MONI] for “A,” [] for “B,” [] for “C,”
[VFO/MR/CALL] for “D,” [M] for “M,” and [# ENT] for “#.”
D Using a DTMF memory channel
First, set the DTMF TX key to
“dmt.m” in the Set mode.
➥ While pushing and holding [PTT], push one of the keys
to transmit the programmed DTMF code sequence in the
DTMF memory.
• Pushing [0] to [9], [MONI](A), [](B), [](C), [VFO/MR/CALL]
(D),
[
M
]
(E), or
[
# ENT
]
(F) transmits a DTMF code channel (d0–
d9, dA, dB, dC, dD, dE or dF) respectively.
D 1750 Hz tone
To access some European repeaters, the transceiver must
transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst signal.
• This tone can be used as a ‘Call signal’ in countries out of Europe.
First, set the DTMF TX key to
“dmt.t” in the Set mode.
➥ While pushing and holding [PTT], push and hold either
the [] or [] for 1 or 2 sec. to transmit a 1750 Hz tone
burst signal.
• While pushing and holding the key, the tone is transmitted.

ing 38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may re-
ceive interference from adjacent tone frequencies.

SET MODES
■ Initial Set mode items
D Key-touch beep
Turns the key-touch beep ON (the beep level 1 to 3) or OFF.
• When changing the beep level, beeps sound at the level.
(default: bEP. 2)
D Time-out timer
To prevent accidental prolonged transmission, the trans-
ceiver has a time-out timer. This function cuts transmission
OFF after 1–30 min. of continuous transmission.
To turn the function OFF, select “tot.OF.”
• tot.OF : Turns the function OFF. (default)
• tot. 1–30 :
If continuous transmission exceeds the selected period,
the transmission will be cut off.
D Auto repeater
The Auto Repeater function automatically turns ON or OFF
the duplex operation and the tone encoder. The offset and
the repeater tone are not changed by the function. Reset
these settings, if necessary.
• RPt.OF : Turns the function OFF.
• RPt.R1 : Activates for only duplex. (default)
• RPt.R2 :
Activates for both duplex and tone.
D Auto power-OFF
The transceiver can be set to beep and automatically turn
OFF, when no key operation occurs during a specified period.
• POF.OF : Turns the function OFF. (default)
• POF.30/1H/2H :
The transceiver is automatically turned OFF when
no operation occurs during the selected period.
NOTE: The setting is maintained even after the trans-
ceiver is turned OFF by the auto power-OFF function. To
cancel the function, select “POF.OF.”

CLONING
■ Cloning operation
Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the
programmed contents from one transceiver to another.
D Transceiver-to-transceiver cloning
q Turn the transceiver’s power OFF, and then connect an
optional OPC-474 cloning cable to the [SP] jacks of the
master transceiver and the sub transceiver.
• The master transceiver is used to send data to the sub trans-
ceiver.
w While pushing [FUNC](M) and [], turn the master trans-
ceiver ON to enter the cloning mode.
• “CLONE” appears
e Turn the sub transceiver ON.
r Push [PTT] on the master transceiver.
• “CL Out” appears on the master transceiver’s display, and the
signal indicator shows the data is being transferred to the sub
transceiver.
• “CL In” appears on the sub transceiver’s display, and the signal
indicator shows the data is being received from the master
transceiver.
t
When cloning is finished, turn both the transceivers OFF.
Then turn them ON again to exit the cloning mode.
NOTE: DO NOT push [PTT] on the sub transceiver dur-
ing cloning. This will cause a cloning error.
D Cloning using a PC
The CS-V80 cloning software is also used to clone/edit con-
tents with a PC (for Microsoft® Windows® 2000/XP or Win-
dows Vista®) using ICF format files.
Refer to the INSTRUCTIONS and the Help file that come
with the CS-V80, for details.

quency, VFO settings, and Set modes contents) with-
out clearing the memory contents, use the partial reset.
q Push and hold [ ] for 1 sec. to turn the power OFF.
w While pushing and holding [VFO/MR/CALL], push and
hold [ ] for 1 sec. to turn the power ON.
NOTE: No message appears on the display after the par-
tial reset is done.
D All reset

OPTIONS
■ VOX function
The transceiver has a VOX function, which allows hands-free
operation.
An optional HS-94, HS-95 or HS-97 headset and the
OPC-2004 plug adapter cable are also required for operation.
• The VOX (voice operated transmission) function starts transmis-
sion when you speak into the microphone, without needing to
push [PTT]; then, automatically returns to reception when you stop
speaking.
D Optional unit connection
q Push and hold [ ] for 1 sec. to turn the power OFF.
w Remove the jack cover. (p. 2)
e Connect the optional HS-94, HS-95 or HS-97 and
OPC-2004, as illustrated below.
D Turning the VOX function ON or OFF
q Connect an optional headset and plug adapter cable to
the transceiver, and then turn the power ON.
w Push
[FUNC](M), and then [VOX](2)
to turn the VOX func-
tion ON or OFF
.
•
“VOX” appears when the VOX function is ON.
NOTE:
• When using the VOX function, adjust the microphone gain
and the VOX-related settings (p. 53) to suit your operating
environment (including your headset performance).
• Set the microphone gain before setting the VOX gain in
the Set mode (p. 41). We recommend setting the micro-
phone gain to 3.
•
When the TX permission is set to “OFF” in the Set mode,
you cannot transmit using the VOX function. (p. 41)

delay (VXd), or the VOX time-out timer (Vto) item.
t Rotate [VOL] to select a desired option.
y Push [# ENT] to exit the Set mode.
The VOX function does not activate transmission while in
the Set mode.
• VOX gain
The VOX gain level can be adjusted between 1 (minimum) and
10 (maximum), or turned OFF. Higher values make the VOX
function more sensitive to your voice.
(default: VOX.05)
➥ While speaking into the head-
set microphone, adjust the
VOX gain until “On” continu-
ously appears on the LCD.
If “On” is intermittent, be sure the VOX delay is set long
enough to allow normal pauses in speech, but keep the
VOX ON until you finish speaking.
✔ CONVENIENT!
While transmitting using the VOX function, you can adjust
the VOX gain simply by rotating [DIAL].
• VOX delay
Sets the VOX delay to between 0.5 and 3.0 sec. (in 0.5 sec.
steps). The VOX delay is the amount of time the transmitter
stays ON after you stop speaking. (default: VXd.10)
The VOX delay is set to
1 sec.
The VOX delay is set to
3 sec.
• VOX time-out timer
Sets the VOX time-out timer to between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and
15 min. to prevent accidental prolonged transmission for the
VOX function.
To turn the function OFF, select “Vto.OF.” (default: Vto.03)
