If theselected group is programmed with QT (Quiet Talk) or DQT (Digital Quiet Talk), remove themicrophone from the hook to disable QT or DQT, then listen to the channel to make sure nobodyis talking on it. If the selected group is not programmed with QT or DQT, simply listen to thechannel to make sure nobody is talking on it. In this case, you need not remove the microphonefrom the hook.1Select the desired system and group using the System and Group keys.•If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free.2Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTTswitch to receive.•For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphoneapproximately 1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.3When your conversation is finished, return the microphone to its hanger.■Receiving1Select the desired system and group using the System and Group keys.(If the Scan function has been programmed, you can switch it ON or OFFas desired.)2When you hear the dispatcher’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary.SYSTEM SCANIf the Scan function is programmed, systems can be scanned by pressing the keyprogrammed as Scan. When the Scan key is pressed, the SCN indicator and “-SCAN-” or the revert system/ group number, appear on the display and scanningstarts. The systems not locked out of the scanning sequence are scanned.When a call is received, scanning stops and the system and group digits appear.Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone to respond to the call. Thetransceiver will continue scanning after an adjustable time delay if the PTT switchis released and no further signal is received.
11■Scanning Trunked SystemsWhen scanning trunked systems, the revert groups and the groups not lockedout of the scanning sequence are scanned. See “GROUP SCAN”, below.■Scanning Conventional SystemsWhen scanning conventional systems, the revert groups and the groups notlocked out of the scanning sequence are scanned. See “GROUP SCAN”,below.■Scan LockoutIf a programmable auxiliary key is programmed with Scan DEL/ADD, eachsystem can be locked out of the scan sequence manually. The deleteindicator ( ) will appear in the display when the selected system is lockedout.■Scan RevertYou can select revert systems and groups using the System and Group keys.Four types of Scan Reverts which can be programmed by your dealer areavailable:•Last Called Revert: The last system/ group received is assigned as thenew revert system and group.•Last Used Revert: The last system/ group responded to is assigned asthe new revert system and group.•Selected: The last system/ group selected is assigned as the new revertsystem and group.•Selected + Talkback: If the system/ group has been changed duringScan, the newly selected system/ group is assigned as the new revertsystem and group. The transceiver “talks back” on the current receivegroup.GROUP SCANGroup Scan is available for both trunked and conventional systems. This featureis useful when more than one group is programmed in a system. Group Scan isset by your dealer on request. It scans the revert groups as well as groups thatare allowed to be scanned.When a call is received, the group indicator shows the group number, and thatgroup becomes the revert group. Simply press the PTT switch to respond to thecall.You can also perform Group Scan while using a priority channel. Please contactyour dealer for information concerning Priority Scan.
12CONVENTIONAL FORMAT (TK-780 series and TK-880 series only)CONVENTIONAL OPERATION■TransmittingNote: Before transmitting, monitor the channel to make sure it is not already in use. If theselected channel is programmed with QT (Quiet Talk) or DQT (Digital Quiet Talk), remove themicrophone from the hook to disable QT or DQT, then listen to the channel to make sure nobodyis talking on it. If the selected channel is not programmed with QT or DQT, simply listen to thechannel to make sure nobody is talking on it; in this case, you need not remove the microphonefrom the hook.1Select the desired group and channel using the Group and Channel keys.•If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free.2Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTTswitch to receive.•For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphoneapproximately 1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth.3When your conversation is finished, return the microphone to its hanger.■Receiving1Select the desired group and channel using the Group and Channel keys.(If the Scan function has been programmed, you can switch it ON or OFFas desired.)2When you hear the dispatcher’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary.
13SCANIf the Scan function is programmed, groups or channels can be scanned bypressing the key programmed as Scan. Scan can be used as either Single Scanor Multi Scan. Single Scan monitors only the channels of a single group. MultiScan monitors all channels of every group. When the Scan key is pressed, theSCN indicator and “-SCAN-” or the revert group/ channel number, appear on thedisplay and scanning starts.When a call is received, scanning stops and the group and channel digits appear.Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone to respond to the call. Thetransceiver will continue scanning after an adjustable time delay, if the PTTswitch is released, and no further signal is received.When the displayed group is not locked out of the scanning sequence, the addindicator ( ) will appear on the display.■Priority ScanThe priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan tofunction.The transceiver will automatically change to the priority channel when a signalis received on it, even if a signal is being received on a normal channel.The indicator appears when the displayed channel is the priority channel.2-TONE SIGNALLING2-Tone Signalling is either activated or deactivated by your dealer.2-Tone Signalling only opens the squelch when the transceiver receives twotones corresponding to those set up in the transceiver. When the squelch opens,you will be able to hear the caller without any further action.After a correct 2-Tone signal is received and the squelch opens, pressing the keyprogrammed as Monitor will cancel the connection.If your dealer programmed Transpond for 2-Tone Signalling, your transceiver willautomatically send an acknowledgment signal to the station that called you witha correct 2-Tone signal. Transpond does not function when you are called as aGroup call.If your dealer programmed Tone Alert for 2-Tone Signalling, your transceiver willemit a beep when the correct 2-Tone signal is received.Note: This transceiver is only capable of decoding 2-Tone Signals. It cannot encode a 2-ToneSignal.

18DTMF (DUAL TONE MULTI FREQUENCY) CALLSMAKING A DTMF CALLNote: To make a DTMF call, you must have an optional microphone with a DTMF keypad. Ask yourdealer for more information.There are two methods of making a DTMF call:•Manual dialing•Store and sendingTo make a call by dialing manually:1Press and hold the PTT switch.2Enter the desired digits using the microphone keypad.•The corresponding DTMF tones sound each time you press a key.•If you release the PTT switch, transmit mode will end even if the complete numberhas not been sent.•If your dealer has activated the Keypad Auto PTT function, you need not hold downthe PTT switch while pressing the keys on the keypad. The DTMF code will besent automatically when you press a key.To make a call by storing and sending:1Enter the desired digits using the microphone keypad.•The digits appear on the display as you enter them.2After entering the complete number, press the PTT switch.•If you are using the transceiver in a Conventional mode and Format, the DTMFcode is transmitted after pressing the PTT switch.•If you are using the transceiver in a Trunking system, the DTMF code is transmittedafter a connection is established. Releasing the PTT switch before a connection isestablished will stop the transmission from occuring.•If you are using the transceiver in a RIC (Repeater Inter-Connect) Trunking system,the DTMF code is transmitted after a connection with the telephone system isestablished. If you press the key programmed as Auto Tel instead of the PTTswitch, the call will automatically connect to the repeater, and the DTMF code willbe transmitted.Note:◆Store and send must first be activated by your dealer in order for it to function.◆You can only store up to 16 digits before sending. Entering more than 16 digits will cause anerror tone to sound.◆In store and sending mode, if you switch the power OFF before sending the number, the numberwill be cleared from memory.
19DTMF SIGNALLINGYour dealer can program a group or channel with DTMF signalling. When youreceive a call with a code that matches yours, the signalling indicator ( ) willflash and a tone will sound. Squelch opens and you will hear the call.Squelch will close when you receive a call with a code that matches yoursignalling reset code.When making a call on a group or channel programmed with a DTMF signallingcode, the signalling indicator will light and the squelch will open.If your dealer programmed Transpond for DTMF signalling, your transceiver willautomatically send an acknowledgment signal to the station that called you withthe correct DTMF code.DBD (DEAD BEAT DISABLE)Depending on how your dealer programs your transceiver, when you receive acall containing a DBD code, either transmit mode or receive and transmit modeswill be disabled. When a DBD code is received, a tone will sound.DBD is cancelled when you receive a call with a DBD cancel code.
