Advanced Features Your new Model KGZDB contains many advanced features that may be used to suit your individual system needs. Some are available at all times while others may be programmed as needed. Your system administrator may provide additional instnrctions about specific features used in your system, Channel Name During programming, each channel may be assigned a name to assist you in channel selection. For example, channel 1 may be REPEAT, channel 2 may be POLICE, channel 3 may be PRIVATE, etc. When the channel is selected, the actual channel number will appear in the display. After a short time, the channel name will appear. Up to 8 alphanumeric characters may be used. Note that the radio normally is capable of up to 200 channels. If the Channel Name feature is used, only 100 channels may be programmed due to the additional memory requirements. Transmit Tlme Limiter (TTL) This feature limits the length of each transmission to a preprogrammed time (5 to 255 sea). This prevents long transmissions, either accidental or intentional. If the time limit is exceeded, the radio will stop transmitting and return to the receive mode. You must release the FTI' button for five seconds before you can resume transmitting. Alert Tones The radio may be programmed to emit a beep at the beginning of each transmission, at the end, or both. This will alert the operator that he has begun and/or ended his transmission. Tones may also be programmed to signal when keypad buttons are pressed. Power-off Timer If this program feature is programmed, the radio will automatically turn off after a period of time with no activity (1 to 15 hours). This will prevent 14 the vehicle battery from going dead when the radio is not in use When the radio turns off, the display will show PW OFF. To ratum to normal operation. turn the radio OFF, then ON Transmit Inhibit During programming. different conditions may be selected to prevent transmitting, such as channel is busy, improper CTCSS tone, etc. It the selected condition exists, the radio erI not transmit and you may hear a beep when you press the PTT button. Voice Scrambler This feature may be programmed for any channel or channels. It scrambles the voice so that it cannot be understood by another radio unless it also has the scramble feature, This feature may be programmed into a several radios to permit private communications between those radios. Others in the group will not understand the messages. This feature is useful for police and military operations. ANI (Automatic Number Identification) It this feature is programmed. the radio will transmit a unique ANI number each time the PTI' button is pressed. This number may be sent at the beginning of the transmission, at the end or the transmission, or both. When the number is being sent, a small ‘ icon vw'II appear in the lower right of the display, If this appears at the beginning of your message, your voice may be covered by the tones and will not be heard by others. Vou should practice pressing the P'l‘i' and waiting for one second before beginning to speak. If the control point is using another KG208, it may be programmed to display the AMI of any radio on the channel, Vlfith another type of base station. equipment is available to display the ANI. In either case, the operator at the control point will know which radio is transmitting. Kill Mode If this feature is programmed, the radio may be disabled or “killed" by another operator in me system that knows the proper kill code and kill password. This feature may be used if the radio or vehicle is stolen or lost. The radio must he tumed on and the kill code must be sent on the selected channel. When the kill code is properly received, the radio will answer back (transpond) with its ANl number. than become disabled and the display will show F. If the radio is turned off, out of range or on a different channel, the Kill feature will not operate and the transpond will 15 not be heard. After entering the kill mode, the radio is totally disabled and must be rammed to a service center for reprogramming. information regarding kill procedures may not be made available to all users. Emergency Alarm (Man Down) If this feature is programmed, the radio will be capable of sending an alarm when the user is in danger or injured. To activate the alarm, press SHIFTI P'I'I' and any keypad button, all at the same time. Also, the radio may be equipped with a momentary ALARM switch on the floor of the vehicle. The radio will switch to an ememency channel, transmit the radio Emergency ANl, then stay in the transmit mode for 10 or 20 seconds to alert others. The display will show E, During the time the transmitter is activated, the microphone is active so that other users may monitor activity in the vehicle, This is followed by a period of silence (no transmit), if programmed to do so, the radio will send a beep—beep— beep sound as an audible alert during the transmit period. A timer is also programmed which turns off the alarm after 1 to 15 hours. The radio may be silenced by sending is H" code from another radio during the period when it is not transmitting (see Kill Mode on previous page). Vlfith proper display equipment, the operator at the control point will know which radio is transmitting and that an emergency exists. User Password (PIN Number) if this feature is programmed, you must enter the proper Personal Identification Number (up to 6 digits) before the radio will operate. Upon switching on the radio, the display will show PLS PIN (please enter PIN). The operator must press ' to clear the display. then enter his password. If the correct number is not entered in a certain number of attempB, the radio will enter the kill mode (see above) and must be returned to a service center for reprogramming. Selective Call Operation (sol call) If this feature is programmed, selective call may used to call individual or groups of users within the system. Each radio is assigned a specific "phone number'. The radios are normally muted until their specific number is called. The radio supports DTMF and 5Tone, encode and decode formats. Before using selective call you must first select the desired tone format using SHIFT, 0 for 2 seconds. A memory is included to store up to 10 frequently called numbers (see SHIFT 3 below). These numbers may contain any of the 16 keypad digits in any sequence. 16 Placing a Call, DTMF Mode In DTMF mode, digits are transmitted as they are entered. Only digits 1 through 9, D and A may be used as the first digit. Keys B, C & D have specific functions when entered alone, After the first digit, any of the 16 digits may be used. Up to 16 total digits may be entered. If the digits are entered quickly. the other radio may transpond (send an acknowledge tone) after the last digit is entered. However, it may be necessary to send the number again. Press SHIFT, then D. A J‘ icon will appear in the display indicating that the tones are being transmitted. To redial, press D. If the call is received, the other radio will answer back (transpond) with a short tone, then “ring” several times to signal the operator. That operator may then answer the call. After a number is sent, a new number may be entered. it is not necessary to clear the display. Placing a Call, 5Tone Made In 5Tone mode, enter the digits in the field indicated by the arrow at the top of the display, To clear the display, hold the SHIFT key and press the PTT. However, it is not necessary to clear the display, New numbers entered will replace existing digits. Only digits 1 through 9, 0 and A may be used. Other keys have specific functions when entered alone or with the SHil—"I' key, Due to the four-second delay of the SHlFT function, entry of B, C, or D will cause undesired results. When entering digits, the pointer will advance automatically as numbers are entered or it may be advanced during entry using the CHANNEL knob. After the complete number is entered, press D (no SHIFT) to send the number. A I~ icon will appear in the display indicating that the tones are being sent. If the other radio receives the call, it will automatically answer back (transpond) with a short tons, then “ring” several times to signal the operator. That operator may then answer the call. If the other radio receives the call (transponds) but does not answer, you may redial by pressing D. Receiving a Call If another party calls you. your decoder will unmute the speaker and the radio will "ring” several times. To answer. press the PTT button and speak. The decoder will automatically reset after a short time. In 5Tone systems, the radio may be programmed to display the identity of the caller. 17 Special stfld Functions The main function of the keypad is to enter digits for selective calling, However, the keypad is also used to control many radio functions by pressing keypad buttons wIthir_i fggr seconds after pressing the §HIET k_gy_.
