The Titan Base Repeater must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This should be done by the equipment supplier or a qualified radio tradesman. They will need the Titan Base Repeater programming soitware to do this correctly. It is important that the Titan Base Repeater be correctly installed at its working location by a qualified radio technician. As a minimum, it is necessary to: 0 Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that has sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct). 0 Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas (ensure that the VSWFt of the antennas is correct). 0 Insert the microphone into the microphone connector on the front panel. _____—-—_——— Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual “ Basic Operation 0 Switch On Switch the Titan Base Repeater "ON' by pressing the knob (12). Then check that the LED indicator (13) is illuminated. 0 Adjust the Volume Setting Rotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until the audio level from the speaker is suitable. - Adjust the Squelch Setting Rotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (irom the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until the background noise can no longer be heard. It is wise to rotate the knob slightly further in the clockwise direction so that variations in the background noise level do not "break" the squelch setting and cause annoying squelch noises to be heard from the speaker. . Select the Channel Select the required channel by pressing the CH key lollowed by the channel number key. The channel number keys must be selected within two seconds. For example, [OH] + [0] + [1] to select Channel 1. The LCD Display should now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name: ‘CHOt NAME". 0 Receiving You should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel #1 on the Titan Base Repeater. It may be necessary to adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening requirements. - Transmitting Depending on the legal requirements in your country. and the operating requirements within your organization, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign. In addition, it will probably be necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start of your transmission. When transmitting, it is necessary to hold the microphone about 3 inches from your mouth and speak clearly into the front of the microphone. It is also necessary to press and hold the “Press To Talk” (PTT) bar on the side of the microphone while speaking into the microphone. Front Panel Operation This section describes most signaling and other advanced leatures that are available on the Titan Base Repeater. The availability of some features is dependent on the programming of the transceiver and installed options. You may find it worthwhile to discuss these features in detail with your radio supplier to obtain a full understanding of their benefits. Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual e Keypad Operation The Keypad is the interface between the user and the Titan Base Repeater. It is used to enable or disable various lunctions and to enter the required data for signaling purposes.

For example: To select Channel 8, press [CH] [0] [8] To select Channel 99, press [CH] [9] [9] Note that it is always necessary to entertwo digits for the Channel Number. The channel it location displayed in the LCD will become blank as soon as the [CH] key is pressed. The cursor will blink at the location of the channel number, and display the new numbers as they are entered. It is also possible to change channels by using the [CH], [A] and [B] keys instead of entering the channel numbers. Pressing [CH] then the {A} key will advance the channel to the next higher programmed channel, while pressing [B] will advance the channel to the next lower programmed channel. Note that this action will ignore channels that have not been programmed into the Titan Base Repeater. Accordingly, the LCD display may appear to advance more than one channel if the missed channel is not programmed into the Titan Base Repeater. Slgnallng The Titan Base Repeater includes some very sophisticated signaling capabilities We suggest that you have your radio supplier conduct some training on the use ol these capabilities prior to using them. While it is possible to use these signaling capabilities in both repeater mode, and in base station mode, many will only be uselul in practice when the Titan Base Repeater is used in base station configuration. The Titan Base Repeater supports the 5-Tone sequential, and/or the DTMF, and the Single Tone signaling formats The required signaling formatts) must be enabled when the Titan Base Repeater is programmed. . 5-Tone Signaling Available Tones 5-Tone signaling is commonly relerred to as “Selective Calling“ (or Selcall) and usually comprises of a series of 5 tones sequentially transmitted or received in accordance with certain international standards. It is possible to use longer sequences to enhance the signaling capabilities and to provide additional functions. Accordingly, the Titan Base Repeater will encode up to sixteen (16) tones and decode up to eight (8) tones These tones can be any of the following letter/number combinations: [0] - [9], and [A] - [D] The most recently entered tone can be recalled and deleted by pressing the [*] key repeatedly. 11 Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual Enteran a 5-Tone Encode Sequence When switched "ON", the Titan Base Repeater carries out its self-test routine, then waits ready to accept 5-Tone encode numbers. Accordingly, it is necessary to enter the required 5-Tone digits directly using the keypad, then pressing the [if] key to transmit the 5-Tone sequence. (Up to sixteen digits can be entered). If it is necessary to enter the "F!" number sequence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] key must be pressed before pressing the [#1 key. it a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [it] key is pressed, then the Titan Base Repeater will recall the most recent 5-Tone number and transmit it. Recalllng the last encoded sequence Pressing the [*] will recall the most recent 5—Tone encode sequence and display the sequence in the LCD display. Continuing to press the [*] key will delete the last digit of the sequence until all digits are deleted In practice, users will usually delete the last one or two digits before entering the new digits. o DTMF Slgnaling Avallable Tones The following DTMF tones can be used in any number/letter combination: [01- [9], [A] ' [D], [* 1. and [it] NOTE: Tone [B] is NOT available it the “Attach Decode No“ field in the DTMF Encode Menu has been set to "ON“. Up to sixteen (16) DTMF digits can be encoded in one calling sequence. DTMF Tone Entry There are two methods at entering DTMF tones. The specilic tone encoding format is selected during the programming of the Titan Base Repeater in thefield. Attach Decode No. "OFF" iormet Pressing the P'I'I' lever first automatically selects the DTMF encoding format and allows direct entry of DTMF tones. Hold the PTI' lever on the microphone while pressing the required DTMF tones. The tones will be transmitted as the keys are being pressed. 12 vw—u. Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual “ Attach Decode No. “ON" torma! Attach Decode No. "ON“ automatically encodes the user‘s DTMF decode numberafterthe encode number. This can be used for any purpose. Enterthe required DTMF tones (up to sixteen tones, except "B" tone) and then transmit the total tone sequence (including the users decode number) by pressing the [at] key. All tones will be transmitted in one continuous sequence after pressing the [it] key. Pressing the [*] key will delete the last number entered Always confirm that the LCD is clear before proceeding, as it may take up to 5 seconds for the tones to be sent. For example, assume that your decode number is 12345, and that you wish to encode number 12346. You will input 12346, and then press the [lt] key The Titan Base Repeater will encode "12346812345". The called radio will display "12345“ in their LCD indicating the calling party's number is “12345"4 NOTE: The "B" tone is used as the delimiter in this encoding format and therefore CANNOT be used as a DTMF tone. Pressing the [SHIFI'] key and then the [it] will encode ONLY the encode number (and not the decode number) RediaIIng with DTMF If, during the programming of the Titan Base Repeater, the 1ield has been set to "OFF“, the redialing function operates as follows: Press [SHIFT], then press [#1 and the Titan Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMl= number. If, during the programming of the Titan Base Repeater, the field has been set to "ON", the redialing function operates as follows: Press [it] and the Titan Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMF numberwith the Titan Base Repeaters programmed decode number. Press [SHIFI'], then press [it] and the Titan Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMF number without the Titan Base Repeaters programmed decode numberl Restoring the last DTMF number to the LCD Dlsplay It is possible to restore the last encoded DTMF number to the LCD display. provided the field has been set to “ON" during the programming of the Titan Base Repeater. First, confirm that the LCD is NOT displaying any DTMF numbers. Then press [V] and the last encoded DTMF number will be displayed in the LCD display. It is possible to edit this number at this time by pressing the [V] key (which will erase the last number) or by pressing the required keys to add additional numbers. Encodlng DTMF numbers with the 5-Tone system enabled It is possible to enter DTMF numbers even with the 5-Tone system enabled. This function must be enabled during the programming of the Titan Base Repeater by setting the field in the <5Tone Encode Menu> to "ENABLE". To enter a DTMF number (with 5-Tone signaling enabled), the user must press the PTT lever while entering the first DTMF number. Second and subsequent numbers do NOT require the P'I'I' lever to be pressed, provided all numbers are entered within a few seconds (before the display reverts to 5vTone mode and displays "5TON" in the LCD display) Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual - Single Tone Encodlng The Titan Base Repeater has the ability to encode one of six single tone frequencies tor 1, 2, 3, or 4 seconds.

The calling (Emergency) radio must encode its emergency data in the following format: "000" + the calling radio's ID (decode number). This format applies to both 5-Tone and DTMF signaling systems. When the Titan Base Repeater receives an emergency call, it will sound a warning tone from the speaker. The LCD will display “EMG" (flashing) in the fourth line, and display the emergency radio's lD to the right of ‘EMG' as shown below: RX TX CH01 EMG 12346 Upon receipt of an emergency call, the Titan Base Repeater will automatically respond to the emergency radio by sending the emergency radio‘s ID number to it. If the Titan Base Repeater user presses the [#] key, the Titan Base Repeater will resend the emergency radio's ID number. While the Titan Base Repeater is in the Emergency Mode, all keys (except the [if] key) on the keyboard become disabled. Pressing the [SHIFT] key and the [*] key will return the Titan Base Repeater to the normal operating mode. Automatic Transmit in Repeater Mode The Titan Base Repeatercan be programmed to automatically repeat valid incoming messages. First, the active channel of the Titan Base Repeater must be programmed to operate as a repeater. It must then receive a carrier frequency on the designated channel. If the Titan Base Repeater has been programmed for CTCSS or DCS operation, it must also receive a valid CTCSS or DOS tone. It will then automatically retransmit any received signals. When the Titan Base Repeater ceases to receive a carrier frequency, or a valid CTCSS or DCS tone, it activates the timer. This will keep the Titan Base Repeater repeating (for up to 9.9 seconds depending on the programming of the Titan Base Repeater) and allow other users with a valid CTCSS or DCS tone to access the repeater. Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual TX Test Mode The Titan Base Repeater comes equipped with a TX (Transmit) Test Mode. When the Titan Base Repeater is placed in the TX Test Mode, it will transmit a carrier frequency modulated with a 1kHz tone on the selected active ohanneL It is possible to change channels while in TX Test Mode.
