transceiver will continue scanning after an adjustable time delay if the PTT switch
is released and no further signal is received.
11
■Scanning Trunked Systems
When scanning trunked systems, the revert groups and the groups not locked
out of the scanning sequence are scanned. See “GROUP SCAN”, below.
■Scanning Conventional Systems
When scanning conventional systems, the revert groups and the groups not
locked out of the scanning sequence are scanned. See “GROUP SCAN”,
below.
■Scan Lockout
If a programmable auxiliary key is programmed with Scan DEL/ADD, each
system can be locked out of the scan sequence manually. The delete
indicator ( ) will appear in the display when the selected system is locked
out.
■Scan Revert
You can select revert systems and groups using the System and Group keys.
Four types of Scan Reverts which can be programmed by your dealer are
available:
•Last Called Revert: The last system/ group received is assigned as the
new revert system and group.
•Last Used Revert: The last system/ group responded to is assigned as
the new revert system and group.
•Selected: The last system/ group selected is assigned as the new revert
system and group.
•Selected + Talkback: If the system/ group has been changed during
Scan, the newly selected system/ group is assigned as the new revert
system and group. The transceiver “talks back” on the current receive
group.
GROUP SCAN
Group Scan is available for both trunked and conventional systems. This feature
is useful when more than one group is programmed in a system. Group Scan is
set by your dealer on request. It scans the revert groups as well as groups that
are allowed to be scanned.
When a call is received, the group indicator shows the group number, and that
group becomes the revert group. Simply press the PTT switch to respond to the
call.
You can also perform Group Scan while using a priority channel. Please contact
your dealer for information concerning Priority Scan.
12
CONVENTIONAL FORMAT (TK-780 series and TK-880 series only)

(If the Scan function has been programmed, you can switch it ON or OFF
as desired.)
2When you hear the dispatcher’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary.
13
SCAN
If the Scan function is programmed, groups or channels can be scanned by
pressing the key programmed as Scan. Scan can be used as either Single Scan
or Multi Scan. Single Scan monitors only the channels of a single group. Multi
Scan monitors all channels of every group. When the Scan key is pressed, the
SCN indicator and “-SCAN-” or the revert group/ channel number, appear on the
display 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. The
transceiver will continue scanning after an adjustable time delay, if the PTT
switch is released, and no further signal is received.
When the displayed group is not locked out of the scanning sequence, the add
indicator ( ) will appear on the display.
■Priority Scan
The priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to
function.
The transceiver will automatically change to the priority channel when a signal
is 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 SIGNALLING
2-Tone Signalling is either activated or deactivated by your dealer.
2-Tone Signalling only opens the squelch when the transceiver receives two
tones 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 key
programmed as Monitor will cancel the connection.
If your dealer programmed Transpond for 2-Tone Signalling, your transceiver will
automatically send an acknowledgment signal to the station that called you with
a correct 2-Tone signal. Transpond does not function when you are called as a
Group call.
If your dealer programmed Tone Alert for 2-Tone Signalling, your transceiver will
emit 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-Tone
Signal.
14
FleetSync™: ALPHANUMERIC TWO-WAY PAGING FUNCTION
FleetSync™ is an Alphanumeric Two-way Paging Function, and is a protocol
owned by KENWOOD Corporation. FleetSync™ enables a variety of paging
functions on your transceiver, some of which depend on dealer programming.
KEY FUNCTIONS
1Depending on how your dealer programmed the transceiver, Selcall Mode may be skipped or the
transceiver may exit Selcall Mode automatically (as shown by the dash arrow).
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Short Messages: Received short messages (maximum of 48 characters) are
displayed the same as Status messages {page 16}, however only 4 short
messages can be stored in the stack memory. “M” (Message) and the message
number appear with the message.
GPS Report: If a GPS unit (NMEA-0183 format) is installed on the transceiver
and the Send GPS function is programmed onto a key by your dealer, you can
press the programmed key to send your location data.

DTMF (DUAL TONE MULTI FREQUENCY) CALLS
MAKING A DTMF CALL
Note: To make a DTMF call, you must have an optional microphone with a DTMF keypad. Ask your
dealer for more information.
There are two methods of making a DTMF call:
•Manual dialing
•Store and sending
To 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 number
has not been sent.
•If your dealer has activated the Keypad Auto PTT function, you need not hold down
the PTT switch while pressing the keys on the keypad. The DTMF code will be
sent 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 DTMF
code is transmitted after pressing the PTT switch.
•If you are using the transceiver in a Trunking system, the DTMF code is transmitted
after a connection is established. Releasing the PTT switch before a connection is
established 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 is
established. If you press the key programmed as Auto Tel instead of the PTT
switch, the call will automatically connect to the repeater, and the DTMF code will
be 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 an
error tone to sound.
◆In store and sending mode, if you switch the power OFF before sending the number, the number
will be cleared from memory.
19
DTMF SIGNALLING
Your dealer can program a group or channel with DTMF signalling. When you
receive a call with a code that matches yours, the signalling indicator ( ) will
flash 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 your
signalling reset code.
When making a call on a group or channel programmed with a DTMF signalling
code, the signalling indicator will light and the squelch will open.
If your dealer programmed Transpond for DTMF signalling, your transceiver will
automatically send an acknowledgment signal to the station that called you with
the correct DTMF code.
DBD (DEAD BEAT DISABLE)
Depending on how your dealer programs your transceiver, when you receive a
call containing a DBD code, either transmit mode or receive and transmit modes
will 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.
20
AUDIBLE USER FEEDBACK TONES
The transceiver emits various tones to indicate the transceiver’s operating status.
Please contact your dealer for further information on these tones.
Note: Only the TK-780 series and TK-880 series transceivers support the tone for Conventional
Format.
