newly selected zone and channel are assigned as the new revert zone and channel.
The transceiver âtalks backâ on the current receive channel.
⢠Priority 1: If your dealer has programmed a Priority 1 channel, this channel is the
revert zone and channel.
⢠Priority 1 + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority 1 channel, this channel
is the revert zone and channel. The transceiver âtalks backâ on the current receive
channel.
⢠Priority 2: If your dealer has programmed a Priority 2 channel, this channel is the
revert zone and channel.
⢠Priority 2 + Talkback: If your dealer has programmed a Priority 2 channel, this channel

SIGNALING
Note: Signaling can be used only in Conventional FM Operation.
QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver
channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to
ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open
when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that
you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your
transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you are
using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. Although it may seem
like you have your own private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can
still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
Your dealer can activate a variety of transceiver functions to perform without any
additional operation on your part.
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The Time-out Timer is used to prevent any caller from using a channel for an
extended period of time.
If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed
time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop
the tone, release the microphone PTT switch. Your dealer can program the TOT
time in the range of 15 seconds to 20 minutes.
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound before the timer expires.
Also, if programmed by your dealer, you may have to wait for a short duration
before you can continue to transmit. If you press the microphone PTT switch
before the timer has been reset, an alert tone will sound and the transceiver will
not enter transmit mode.

has been programmed by your dealer, transmitted signals are compressed before
being sent and received signals are expanded when they arrive.
⢠Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and the receive side in
order for the compander to operate.
This background feature allows higher clarity of signals, avoiding excessive noise
and interference. This feature is not used on digital channels, as they are not
susceptible to noise and interference.
35
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
If set up by your dealer, you will be unable to transmit on a conventional channel

OUT OF RANGE
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate when it
is out of range. When it can no longer communicate with any site, an out of range
tone sounds and âOUT OF RANGEâ appears on the display.
SITE TRUNKING
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate a
network condition on the registered site. When the transceiver receives a network
disabled message, âSITE TRUNKâ appears on the display.
CONTROL CHANNEL HUNT
On Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a control channel. While
searching for a control channel, no signals can be received. The search begins
automatically when you change to a Trunking channel.
PTT ID
PTT ID is a unique transceiver ID code which is sent each time the microphone
PTT switch is pressed.
Note: PTT ID can be made only in FM Operation.
If Beginning of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press the
microphone PTT switch.
If End of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you release the
microphone PTT switch.
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press and release the
