When the transceiverreceives a call containing a stun code, either transmit mode will be disabled, orboth receive mode and transmit mode will be disabled. The stun code iscancelled when the transceiver receives a call with a revive code.
16QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiverchannels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you toignore (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 openwhen a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signalsthat you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matchesyour transceiver.If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you areusing, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you toignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your ownprivate channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if theyset up their transceiver with the same tone or code.OPERATOR SELECTABLE TONE (OST)You can change the preset encode and decode tones for the selected channel.Up to 40 tones can be pre-programmed by your dealer.1Select your desired channel.2Press the key programmed as Operator Selectable Tone.•“ ” or the OST name or number appears on the display.3Press the <B and C> keys to select the desired OST name/ number.4Use the transceiver the same as in a regular call; press the PTT switch totransmit and release it to receive.5To exit OST mode and return to the preset encode and decode tones, pressthe S key.
17CODE SQUELCH (ID CODE)Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns thetransceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the DTMF ID code that has beenset up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct code willnot be heard. Consequently, you can communicate with a specific party withoutlistening to other parties using the same channel.Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is usefulwhen you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask yourdealer for details.Note: Code Squelch cannot be used on this transceiver if Selective Call {page 18} or DTMF NumberDisplay {page 23} have been programmed.RECEIVINGWhen you receive a signal containing the correct ID code, the squelch opensand you will hear the call.•The icon appears on the display and blinks.•The TX/RX indicator flashes orange.•To mute the speaker after the squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor.•Your dealer can program the transceiver to mute the speaker after a specified timeperiod elapses.•If Transpond is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the callingstation. Transpond does not function when you are called with a Group code.Transpond can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code, or autodial memory locationnumber 1 (refer to “STORING DTMF NUMBERS” on page 14).•If Call Alert is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct ID code isreceived.TRANSMITTING1Press and hold the PTT switch.2Enter the ID code of the transceiver you want to call or enter a Group code onthe microphone keypad.3Use the transceiver the same as in a regular call; press the PTT switch totransmit and release it to receive.•The icon appears on the display.•When you release the PTT switch, the squelch opens. If no signal is received for apre-determined time, the speaker will mute.•Pressing the key programmed as Monitor at any time will mute the speaker.
18SELECTIVE CALLSelective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar toCode Squelch {page 17}. The differences from Code Squelch are:•You can send or receive Status codes containing up to 5 digits.•Selective Call opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives a predeterminedDTMF code in the correct sequence (3-digit or 4-digit ID code — 1-digit Intermediatecode — Status code of up to 5 digits).Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is usefulwhen you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask yourdealer for details.Note: Selective Call cannot be used on this transceiver if Code Squelch {page 17} or DTMF NumberDisplay {page 23} have been programmed.RECEIVINGWhen you receive the correct ID and Intermediate codes, the squelch opens andyou will hear the call. If a Status code is also received, the code will appear onthe display. For example, if the Status code “12345” was received, “ ”appears on the display. (“ ” appears in place of “ ” for group calls.)•The icon appears on the display and blinks.•When no Status code is received “ ” appears on the display.•You can clear the Status code by pressing any key or returning the microphone to its hook.•To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor.•Your dealer can program the transceiver to mute the speaker after a specified timeperiod elapses.•If Transpond is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the callingstation. Transpond does not function when you are called with a Group code.Transpond can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code, or autodial memory locationnumber 1 (refer to “STORING DTMF NUMBERS” on page 14).•If Call Alert is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct code is received.TRANSMITTING1Press and hold the PTT switch.2Enter the ID code (or Group code) and Intermediate code of the transceiveryou want to call on the microphone keypad.•If desired, you can also enter a Status code of up to 5 digits.•You can send codes the same way you make DTMF calls {page 14}.3Use the transceiver the same as in a regular call; press the PTT switch totransmit and release it to receive.•The icon appears on the display.•When you release the PTT switch, the squelch opens.

26BACKGROUND OPERATIONSTIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channelfor an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of timethat exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and analert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.The default TOT duration is 1 minute. Your dealer can set the duration to lastfrom 15 seconds to 20 minutes.Your dealer can also program a warning function to alert you before the TOTexpires. Continuously transmitting for the time specified by your dealer willcause this warning tone to sound, allowing you to finish your transmission beforethe TOT expires.BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or deactivated by your dealer.When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who maybe using the same channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while thechannel is in use will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone andtransmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch tostop the tone and return to receive mode.BEGINNING/ END OF TRANSMIT SIGNALYour dealer can enable or disable the Beginning/ End of Transmit identificationsignals. These signals are used to access and release some repeaters andtelephone systems.A Beginning of Transmit (BoT) Signal is sent when you press the PTT switch.An End of Transmit Signal (EoT) is sent when you release the PTT switch.
