KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #8 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.0 OPERATION4.1  Installation and ProgrammingAs the KG510 can be installed to operate as either a Base Station or as a Repeater, some of theinstructions in this document may apply to one application only, some may apply in both cases, whileothers may only apply if the particular function has been enabled during programming of the KG510.The KG510 must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This is best done by the equipmentsupplier or a competent radio tradesman. They will require the Kyodo 51BS programming software todo this correctly.It is important that the KG510 be correctly installed at its working location. It is recommended that thisbe done by a competent radio tradesman.As a minimum, it is necessary to:•  Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply thathas sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct).•  Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas. (Ensure that the VSWR of theantennas is correct).•  Insert the Kyodo KD561 Microphone into the microphone connector on the front panel.4.2 Basic Operation4.2.1 Switch OnSwitch the KG510 "ON" by pressing the knob (12) and then check that the LED indicator (13)is illuminated.4.2.2  Adjust the Volume SettingRotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until theaudio level from the speaker is suitable.4.2.3 Adjust the Squelch SettingRotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until thebackground noise can no longer be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further in theclockwise direction (so that variations in the background noise level do not "break" thesquelch setting and cause annoying squelch noises to be heard from the speaker).4.2.4 Select the ChannelSelect the required channel by pressing the [SHIFT] key followed by the channel numberkeys within two seconds. E.g. [SHIFT] + [0] + [1] to select channel #1. The LCD Displayshould now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name:"CH01  Kyodo-co".4.2.5 ReceivingYou should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel #1 on the KG510. Itmay be necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listeningrequirements.4.2.6 TransmittingDepending on the legal requirements in your country, and the operating requirements withinyour organisation, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will probably benecessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start of yourtransmission.When transmitting, it is necessary to hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouthand speak clearly into the grill of the microphone.It is also necessary to press and hold the Press To Talk (PTT) bar on the side of themicrophone depressed while speaking into the microphone.
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #9 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.3  Front Panel OperationThis section describes most signalling and other advanced features that are available on the KG510Transceiver. The availability of some features is dependent on the programming of the transceiver.You may find it worthwhile to discuss these features in detail with your radio supplier to obtain a fullunderstanding of their benefits.4.3.1 Keypad OperationThe Keypad is the interface between the user and the KG510 and is used to enable ordisable various functions, and to enter the required data for signalling purposes.(5-Tone) or (DTMF) shown after the described feature indicates that the described featureapplies to the particular signalling format.The following keys are used for these purposes:[0] - [9] Entering new channel numbersEntering the "KILL" passwordEntering signalling encoding numbers (5-Tone) (DTMF)Entering DTMF numbers (DTMF)[A] Advancing the KG510 to the next higher channelEntering the signalling "A" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "A" Tone (DTMF)[B] Advancing the KG510 to the next lower channelEntering the signalling "B" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "B" Tone (DTMF)[C] Entering the signalling "C" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "C" Tone (DTMF)[D] Entering the signalling "D" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "D" Tone (DTMF)[ ] Displays the previously entered encode numbers (5-Tone)(DTMF)Encodes the " " -Tone (DTMF)[#] Encodes the signalling numbers that are displayed in the LCD display (5-Tone)(DTMF)Encodes the "#"-Tone (DTMF)[CH] Used with two channel numbers [0] - [9] to change the active channel on theKG510. E.g. [CH]+[9]+[0] will change the active channel to Channel 90 (providedCh 90 has been programmed into the KG510.[SCN] Used to place the KG510 into the "All-Scan" mode where the KG510 will scan allprogrammed channels. Pressing the [SCN] key again will cause the KG510 to exitfrom the "All-Scan" mode.[MON] Switches the KG510 between "Monitor ON" mode and "Monitor OFF" mode and isused to "Un-mute" the radio when using selective calling (depending on theprogramming of the KG510 transceiver).
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #10 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.3.2  Keypad Operation using the [SHIFT] KeySome of the KG510's features and how it operates can be changed by using the [SHIFT]key. To make these changes, it is necessary to firstly press the [SHIFT] key followed by theother keys within a two second timeframe.The following key sequences are used for these purposes:[SHIFT]+[0] Toggles the tone system between 5-Tone signalling and DTMF signalling.[SHIFT]+[1] Switches the LCD back-light ON or OFF.[SHIFT]+[2] Toggles the transmitting power between High power and Low power.[SHIFT]+[3] Invalid Key.[SHIFT]+[4] Toggles between "Single Tone Encoding" mode and "5-Tone" or "DTMF"signalling mode.[SHIFT]+[5] Invalid Key[SHIFT]+[6] Enters the KILL mode to allow entry of the KILL password.[SHIFT]+[7] Displays the programmed information for the selected (active) channel inthe LCD display.[SHIFT]+[8] Locks or Unlocks the KG510's Keypad.[SHIFT]+[9] Toggles the KG510 between "Normal Channel Scanning" mode and "PriorityChannel Scanning" mode.[SHIFT]+[A] Restores a channel to the Channel Scanning List. (The user must firstlyselect the channel to be restored as the active channel).[SHIFT]+[B] Invalid Key[SHIFT]+[C] Indicates to the KG510 that you have entered the last number of a DTMFencoding sequence.[SHIFT]+[D] Invalid Key[SHIFT]+[ ] Deletes the active channel from the Channel Scanning List.[SHIFT]+[#] Will attach the "R-Number" data to the active encode number and transmitthe whole sequence.[SHIFT]+[CH] Will start or stop the display of the TX and RX bar graphs in the LCD display.[SHIFT]+[SCN] Will place the KG510 in the Program Scan mode or exit from the ProgramScan mode.[SHIFT]+[MON] Invalid Key.
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #11 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.3.3 Changing ChannelsTo change to another channel, simply press the [CH] key followed by the number of therequired channel within two seconds.e.g.  To select Channel # 8, press [CH] [0] [8]To select Channel # 99, press [CH] [9] [9]Note that it is always necessary to enter two digits for the Channel Number.The channel # location displayed in the LCD will become blank as soon as the [CH] key ispressed, and the cursor will blink at the location of the channel number, and display the newnumbers as they are entered.It is also possible to change channels by using the [A] and [B] keys instead of entering thechannel numbers.Pressing the [A] key will advance the channel to the next higher programmed channel, whilepressing [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 KG510.Accordingly, the LCD display may appear to advance more than one channel if the missedchannel is not programmed into the KG510.4.4 SignallingThe KG510 includes some very sophisticated signalling capabilities. We suggest that you have yourradio supplier conduct some training on the use of these capabilities prior to using them.While it is possible to use these signalling capabilities in both repeater mode, and in base stationmode, many will only be useful in practice when the KG510 is used in base station configuration.The KG510 supports the 5-Tone sequential, and/or the DTMF, and the Single Tone signalling formats.The required signalling format(s) must be enabled when the KG510 is programmed.4.4.1 5-Tone Signalling4.4.1.1 Available Tones5-Tone signalling is commonly referred to as Selective Calling (or Selcall) and usuallycomprises of a series of 5 tones sequentially transmitted or received in accordance withcertain international standards. It is possible to use longer sequences to enhance thesignalling capabilities and to provide further functions.Accordingly, the KG510 will encode up to sixteen (16) tones and decode up to eight (8)tones.These tones can be any of the following:[0] - [9], and [A] - [D]The most recently entered tone can be recalled and deleted by pressing the [ ] keyrepeatedly.4.4.1.2  Entering a 5-Tone Encode SequenceWhen switched "ON", the KG510 carries out its self-test routine, and then waits ready toaccept 5-Tone encode numbers. Accordingly, it is only necessary to enter the required 5-Tone digits directly using the keypad, and then pressing the [#] key to transmit the 5-Tonesequence. (Up to sixteen digits can be entered).If it is necessary to enter the "R" number sequence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] keymust be pressed before pressing the [#] key.If a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [#] key is pressed, then the KG510will recall the most recent 5-Tone number and transmit it.
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #12 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.4.1.3 Recalling the last encode sequencePressing the [ ] will recall the most recent 5-Tone encode sequence and display thesequence in the LCD display. Further presses of the [ ] key will delete the last digit of thesequence until all digits are deleted. In practice users will usually delete the last one or twodigits before entering the new digits.4.4.2 DTMF Signalling4.4.2.1 Available TonesThe following DTMF tones can be used:[0] - [9], [A] - [D], [ ], and [#]NOTE: Tone [B] is NOT available if the "Attach Decode No" field in the DTMF Encode Menuhas been set to "ON".Up to sixteen (16) DTMF digits can be encoded in one calling sequence.4.4.2.2  DTMF Tone EntryThere are two methods of entering DTMF tones. The specific tone encoding format isselected during the programming of the KG510 transceiver in the <Main Menu><EncodeSet><DTMF Encode><Attach Decode No.> field.4.4.2.2.1 Attach Decode No. "OFF" formatPressing the PTT lever first automatically selects the DTMF encoding format and allowsdirect entry of DTMF tones.Hold the PTT lever on the microphone depressed while pressing the required DTMF tones.The tones will be transmitted as the keys are being pressed.4.4.2.2.2 Attach Decode No. "ON" formatAttach Decode No. "ON" automatically encodes the users DTMF decode number after theencode number. This can be used for ANI purposes.Enter the required DTMF tones (up to sixteen tones except "B" tone) and then transmit thetotal tone sequence (including the users decode number) by pressing the [#] key. All toneswill be transmitted in one continuous sequence after pressing the [#] key.Pressing the [ ] key will delete the last entered number.Always confirm that the LCD is clear before proceeding as it may take up to 5 seconds forthe tones to be sent.e.g. Assume that your decode number is 12345, and that you wish to encode number 12346.     You will input 12346, and then press the [#] key. The KG510 will encode 12346B12345.     The called radio will display 12345 in their LCD indicating the calling party's number is 12345.NOTE: The "B" tone is used as the delimiter in this encoding format and therefore CANNOT be used as a DTMF tone.Pressing the [SHIFT] key and then the [#] will encode ONLY the encode number (and not thedecode number).
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #13 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.4.2.3  Redialling with DTMFIf during the programming of the KG510, the <Attach Decode No> field has been set to"OFF", the redialling function operates as follows:Press [SHIFT], then press [#] and the KG510 will redial the last encoded DTMF number.If during the programming of the KG510, the <Attach Decode No> field has been set to"ON", the redialling function operates as follows:Press [#] and the KG510 will redial the last encoded DTMF number with the KG510'sprogrammed decode number.Press [SHIFT], and then press [#] and the KG510 will redial the last encoded DTMF numberwithout the KG510's programmed decode number.4.4.2.4  Restoring the last DTMF number to the LCD DisplayIt is possible to restore the last encoded DTMF number to the LCD display, provided the<Attach Decode No> field has been set to "ON" during the programming of the KG510transceiver.Confirm that the LCD is NOT displaying any DTMF numbers, then press [✶] and the lastencoded DTMF number will be displayed in the LCD display.It is possible to edit this number at this time by pressing the [✶] key (which will erase the lastnumber) or by pressing the required keys to add additional numbers.4.4.2.5 Encoding DTMF numbers with the 5-Tone system enabledIt is possible to enter DTMF numbers even with the 5-Tone system enabled. This functionmust be enabled during the programming of the KG510 by setting the <DTMF Encode> fieldin the <5Tone Encode Menu> to "ENABLE".To enter a DTMF number (with 5-Tone signalling enabled), the user must press the PTTlever while entering the first DTMF number. Second and subsequent numbers do NOTrequire the PTT lever to be pressed provided all numbers are entered within a few seconds(before the display reverts to 5-Tone mode and displays "5TON" in the LCD display).4.4.3 Single Tone EncodingThe KG510 has the ability to encode one of six single tone frequencies for 1, 2, 3, or 4seconds. This function is enabled during programming of the KG510 by selecting the <SingleTone ON> field in the <Encode Menu> and setting the encode period.Press the [SHIFT] and the [4] keys to put the KG510 into Single Tone Encoding mode.  "S1"and the tone frequency ("xxxxHz") will be displayed in the tone area of the LCD display forabout 4 seconds until the KG510 reverts back to the normal signalling mode.While the KG510 is in Single Tone Encoding mode, it is possible to advance to the next tonefrequency by pressing the [A] key, or to return to the previous tone by pressing the [B] key.Pressing the [#] key will encode the displayed tone (for the programmed time period) andautomatically exits the Single Tone Encoding mode and returns the KG510 to the normalsignalling mode.
KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL134158 Page #14 of 26 Pages 26 January, 20014.4.4 KILL SignallingThe KG510 has the ability to transmit a specially coded signalling sequence that will disable("KILL") another radio. This feature is particularly useful when transceivers becomemisplaced, are stolen, if they are used in an incorrect manner, or if they are used for thewrong purposes.To prevent accidental or mischievous "KILLING" of radios, several security features are inplace.Firstly, the KG510 must have this function enabled during programming.Secondly, the user must know the required password and enter it correctly into the KG510,and,Thirdly, the user must know the required "KILL" number (of the radio to be "KILLED", andenter it correctly into the KG510.The "KILL" password has four numerical digits. [0] to [9].With 5-Tone signalling systems, the "KILL" number for a particular radio comprises of theradio's decode number + D + the radio's KILL number.With DTMF signalling systems, the "KILL" number for a particular radio comprises of theradio's decode number + A + the radio's KILL number. In the case of DTMF signalling, boththe decode number and the KILL number must have more than four digits.4.4.4.1  Kill Signalling OperationPress [SHIFT] and the press [6] to place the KG510 into the KILL mode.The LCD display will indicate that the KG510 is in the KILL modeEnter the required password by entering the correct four digit number.If the password has been correctly entered, the LCD display will show this message:Then enter the "KILL" data from the keyboard that comprises of the decode number + D +the KILL number of the radio to be "KILLED". (In the case of DTMF signalling, it will benecessary to substitute the "A" tone instead of the "D" tone).Then press [#] to transmit the data.RXTXCH01  Kyodo-co          Kill Pass  OKRXTXCH01  Kyodo-co          Kill Pass  --
