![124PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS114PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS‘‘GeneralIn the following explanations, programmable function names arebracketed, the specific switch used to activate the function dependson programming.DDKEYPAD LOCK FUNCTIONThis function locks access to all programmable switches (except theswitch assigned the lock function).:Push and hold the [LOCK] switch for 1 sec. to toggle the lock func-tion ON and OFF.• “ ”appears while the lock function is ON.• This function may be inhibited on some channels.DDPRIORITY CHANNELThis function is used to select a pre-programmed channel at thepush of a switch.Push the [PRIORITY] switch to select the priority channel.• “PRIO” appears briefly, then the priority channel is automaticallyselected.DDSCAN FUNCTIONThe scan function allows you to search a pre-programmed groupof channels for signals.Push the [SCAN] switch to start/stop scan.• Scan pauses on a channel when receiving a signal.• Depending on programming, a message may appear while scan-ning.• “Lockout SCAN” (pre-programmed list SCAN) or “Priority SCAN”can be pre-programmed.• When the “Power-save function” is activated, the transceiverchecks all pre-programmed channels then returns to the “Power-save function” again.DDHIGH/LOW POWER OUTPUTThis function selects high or low power for a channel.Push the [HIGH/LOW] switch to toggle between high and lowpower.• “LOW” appears when low output power is selected.DDSCRAMBLER FUNCTION (optional UT-109 #01* or UT-110 #01*is required.)This function provides higher communication security.UT-109: Non-rolling type. 32 code numbers are available.UT-110: Rolling type. 1020 (4 group ×255) code numbers are avail-able.Push the [SCRM] switch to toggle the function ON and OFF.NOTE: NEVER use #02 High AF level version, as they are notcompatibleDDBEEP FUNCTIONThis function provides confirmation beep tones when pushingswitches.Push the [BEEP] switch to toggle the function ON and OFF.IC-F3GT(A6)1111 99.11.12 9:44 AM Page 14 (1,1)](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F3G-1/User-Guide-83087-Page-8.png)
![144PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS134PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONSDDMONITOR AUDIBLE FUNCTIONThe monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelchmanually to check whether a channel is busy or not.The transceiverhas 2 conditions for receive standby:Audible condition:This condition mutes audio ONLY whenno carrier is present. You can receive (ormonitor) any signals on a channel.• Push and hold the [MONI/AUDI], switchto select the audible condition.Any audio mute functions are cancelledwhile pushing the [MONI/AUDI] switch.Inaudible condition:This condition mutes ALL signals exceptthose directed to you. Therefore youshould check a channel’s condition (busyor not) with the monitor function beforetransmitting.• Push the [MONI/AUDI] switch momen-tarily to select the inaudible condition.DDTALK AROUNDThe talk around function changes duplex channels to simplex chan-nels.• Duplex allows you to contact your base station, repeaters, etc.• Simplex allows you to contact other portable transceivers directly(portable-to-portable contact).Push the [TALK AROUND] switch one or more times to toggle thefunction ON and OFF.DDDTMF TRANSMISSIONThis function allows you to send a pre-programmed DTMF code tocontrol a repeater, open another transceiver’s squelch, etc.Manual transmission:Push desired digit keys in sequence while pushing [PTT].• Pushing [PTT] may not be necessary depending on programming.Automatic pre-programmed transmission:qPush the [DTMF] switch to select DTMF autodial mode thenpush [Y] or [Z] to select the desired channel.wPush the [DTMF] switch once more to send a DTMF code.DD DTMF RE-DIAL FUNCTIONThis function allows you to transmit the last-used DTMF code at thepush of a key.Push the [DTMF RE-DIAL] switch momentarily to activate the func-tion.• The previously transmitted DTMF code is automatically transmit-ted.• If no code has been transmitted since turning the power ON, thisfunction does not activate.DDEMERGENCY FUNCTIONThe emergency function allows you to send your ID quickly andeasily to your Base Station, etc. in case of emergency.Push and hold the [EMERGENCY] switch for 1 sec. to activate theemergency function.• The transceiver selects a pre-programmed channel, then sendsan emergency signal to your Base Station.• The pre-programmed channel remains selected until a control sig-nal is received from the Base Station or power is turned OFF.All signals arereceived2345678901P0P1P2P3Only signals containing the propertone arereceived2345678901P0P1P2P3IC-F3GT(A6)1111 99.11.12 9:44 AM Page 16 (1,1)](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F3G-1/User-Guide-83087-Page-9.png)
