CAUTIONS
AWARNINGI NEVER hold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts at the
body. especially the lace or eyes. while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best it the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
away truth the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
A WARNINGI NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume 0p<
eralion. it you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mil.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment
containing a transmitter.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below 40°C (+14‘F) or above
+60“C (+140°F).

l Pocket beep operation
This function uses subaudible tones tor ceiling and can be
used as a “common pager” to inlorm you that someone has
called while you were away lrom the transceiver.

6) Push [WM] to exit set mode and start the pocket beep.
-"TSQL 6" appears in the iunction display.
(B When a signal with the correct tone is received, the trans-
ceiver emits beep tones tor 30 sec. and flashes “5.”
Push [PTT] to answer or push [V/M] to stop the beeps and
flashing.
~Tone squelch is automatically selected.
0 Calling a waiting station using pocket beep
A subaudible tone matched with the station's tone frequency
is necessary. Use the tone squelch on the previous page or a
subaudible tone encoder.
SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION 9
l Tone scan
The transceiver can detect the subaudible tone lrequency in a
received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit-
ted on e repeater input trequency, you can determine the tone
lrsquency required to access the repeater. ‘
6) Set the desired lrequsncy or memory channel to be
checked tor a tone trequsncy.
® Push [FUNC] + [A] or [V] tor 2 set: to start the tone scan.
~To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
®When the tone lrequency is decoded, the set mode con-
tents are programmed with the tone frequency.
-The tone scan pauses when a tone trequency is detected.
_ -rne decoded tone lrequency is used for the repeater tone ire
quency or tone squelch treduency. depending on the the tone
squelch ON/OFF setting.
-'ct” m "Rt" appears during tone scan when the tone squelch is in
use or not.
