calls from other irrelevant parties who are using the same channel. When you receive a signal that
has a tone different from the one set on your radio, you will not hear the signal. Likewise, signals
that you transmit will only be received by parties whose QT/DQT tones are the same as yours.
Note:
* Using a QT/DQT channel doesn’t mean your calls are private. If other parties’ QT/DQT tones
are identical with yours, they can hear your calls.
* Set the battery saving mode to be “Off” or “1:1” if the QT/DQT decoding time is long.
6.6 Talkaround
You can expand the communication range of your network through a repeater. If the radio is

a) Press the button set as “Scan” to start scanning. While in scanning, the radio checks every
channel in the scan list and stops on which a signal is detected until that signal disappears. If
interval between signal disappearing and continuing scanning has been preset, the radio will
remain on that channel.
b) Priority Scan:
One channel in the scan list can be set as the priority channel, which enables it to have the
highest priority during scanning. The radio will scan a non-priority channel firstly, then the
priority channel, and then the next non-priority channel, and then the priority channel again, and
the scan goes on like this.
If the priority channel and the “lookback time” have been set for the scan list, when the radio
is receiving signals on a non-priority channel, and the scanning is paused, the radio will check the
priority channel at the preset intervals. If there are signals in the priority channel, it will stay at the
priority channel; if there is no signal, it will return to the original channel.
c) The revert channel (Tx channel) during the scan can be designated by the dealer. There are
following options available:
Selected Channel: When pressing the PTT button, the radio will transmit from the first channel of
the scan list.
Selected Channel + Currently Working Channel: When pressing the PTT button during
scanning, the radio will always transmit from the first channel in the scan list. When pressing the
PTT button during the scanning pause, the radio will always transmit from the currently working
channel.
Priority Channel: The radio will transmit from the priority channel in the scan list when pressing
the PTT button.
Priority Channel + Currently Working Channel: When pressing the PTT button during
scanning, the radio will always transmit from the priority channel. When pressing the PTT button
during the scanning pause, the radio will transmit from the currently working channel.
Last Called Channel: When pressing the PTT button, the radio will transmit from the last
channel that received a call.
Last Used + Currently Working Channel: When pressing the PTT button during the scanning,
the radio will transmit from the last channel that transmits signals. When pressing the PTT button
during the scanning pause, the radio will transmit from the currently working channel.
