changes to when you press the PTT switch to
transmit during Scan.
Your dealer can program the type of revert channel
to be used by your transceiver from the following
choices:
•Last Called (Default): Changes back to the last
channel you received a call on, even if scanning has
resumed.
•Last Used: Changes back to the last channel you
transmitted on. However, if you press the PTT switch
while you are on a different channel, but you are
receiving on that channel and scanning has not yet
resumed, you will transmit on the new channel.
•Selected & Talk Back: Changes back to the channel

SIGNALLING
■2-Tone Signalling
Note:
◆
This transceiver is only capable of decoding 2-Tone signals. It
cannot encode a 2-Tone signal.
◆
A 2-Tone call will be cancelled if you change the channel or turn
Scan ON.
2-Tone Signalling is either activated or deactivated
by your dealer. Using this function, you will only hear
calls that are intended for you to hear.
When you receive a call with a 2-Tone signal that
matches the two tones set up in the transceiver,
squelch opens and you will hear the call.
• When a correct 2-Tone signal is received, the CALL
LED (orange) will flash and the display will alternate
between “CALL” and the current channel number (or
name).
While responding to the call by pressing the PTT
switch and speaking into the microphone, the TX
LED (red) will light, and only the channel number (or
name) will appear on the display.
• When you release the PTT switch, the LED will flash
either red or orange, and the display will either alternate
between “CALL” and the channel number (or name) or
it will only display “CALL”. This depends on how your
dealer sets up 2-Tone Signalling.
• If your dealer programmed Transpond for 2-Tone
Signalling, your transceiver will automatically send an
acknowledgment signal to the station that called you.
• If your dealer programmed Tone Alert for 2-Tone
Signalling, a tone will sound when the correct 2-Tone
signal is received.
20
■DTMF Signalling
Note: A DTMF call will be cancelled if you change the channel or
turn Scan ON.
DTMF Signalling is either activated or deactivated by
your dealer. Using this function, you will only hear
calls that are intended for you to hear.
When you receive a call with a DTMF code that
matches the code set up in the transceiver, squelch
opens and you will hear the call.
• When a correct DTMF code is received, the CALL LED
(orange) will flash and the display will alternate
between “CALL” and the current channel number (or
name).
While responding to the call by pressing the PTT
switch and speaking into the microphone, the TX
LED (red) will light, and only the channel number (or
name) will appear on the display.
• When you release the PTT switch, the LED will flash
either red or orange, and the display will either alternate
between “CALL” and the channel number (or name) or
it will only display “CALL”. This depends on how your
dealer sets up DTMF Signalling.
• If your dealer programmed Transpond for DTMF
Signalling, your transceiver will automatically send an
acknowledgment signal to the station that called you.
• If your dealer programmed Tone Alert for DTMF
Signalling, a tone will sound when the correct DTMF
code is received.
21
■Dead Beat Disable (DBD)
Depending on how your dealer programs your
transceiver, when you receive a call containing a
DBD code you may not be able to transmit.
• When a DBD code is received, a tone will sound.
DBD is cancelled when you receive a call with a
DBD reset code.
■PTT ID
PTT ID is either activated or deactivated by your
dealer. Using this function, you can send a DTMF
tone when you press the PTT switch, release the
PTT switch, or both.
• When the PTT BOT is activated, a DTMF tone is
automatically transmitted with your call when you press
the PTT switch.
• When the PTT EOT is activated, a DTMF tone is
automatically transmitted when you release the PTT
switch.
22
QUIET TALK (QT) AND DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
QT and DQT tones are encoded tones that help to
relieve you of unwanted calls. Calls that are received
on your channel that do not have the proper tone will
not be heard. You will only hear calls that are received
if they carry the tones that match those set up in your
transceiver.
Likewise, other persons will not hear your transmissions
unless their transceivers have a QT/DQT tone that
matches yours.
Your dealer will program tones onto the channels.
However, you can change those tones by following the
instructions below.
Note: Depending on dealer programming, if you change the channel, or
turn the transceiver power OFF and then back ON, your tones may
revert back to the original tones set up by your dealer.

■Time-out Timer (TOT)
The TOT is used to automatically inhibit transmission
after a specified time elapses. If the PTT switch is
held down for longer than the programmed time, the
transceiver will stop transmitting and a tone will
sound. Release the PTT switch, then press it again
to continue transmitting.
• A warning tone will sound before the TOT expires if
programmed by your dealer.
Note:
◆
TOT settings are programmed by your dealer. The default
transmit inhibit time is 60 seconds.

Depending on dealer programming, you may have to wait for up
to 60 seconds before you can resume transmitting after
transmission is inhibited.
◆
Depending on dealer programming, to prevent the TOT from
expiring, you may have to stop transmitting for up to 15 seconds
before resuming. If you resume too soon, the TOT will not reset;
the timer will continue counting down from where it left off.
■Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)

to transmit while their is a signal present on the
current channel. You must either select a different
channel or wait until their is no signal present in

the current channel, a tone will sound and you will not
be able to transmit.
• To determine if there is a signal present on your
channel, press a key programmed with one of the
following functions: Monitor; Monitor Momentary;
Squelch OFF; or Squelch Momentary.
