![Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual6position.14. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) (not used on Single Channel Models)The LCD comprises of four (4) lines each of which is capable of displaying twenty-one (21) characters.The first line, under normal operating conditions, displays the strength of the signal being received on theselected channel as a bar graph. The second line displays the strength of the transmitting power as a bargraph. The third line displays the selected channel number (up to four characters) in the first five left handcharacter spaces, and displays the channel name (up to eight characters) in the next eight characterspaces.Any combination of the following characters may be used in the channel name:0-9, A-Z, a-z, / + - * # ! $ % ( ) = [ ] < > ? and spaceThis area of the LCD is left blank when channel names are not used.The six character spaces on the right hand side of this line are used to display status symbols as follows:Symbol StatusThe monitor status.The key lock status.The tone encode status.The scan mode status.The high power transmit status. [SHIFT] key is depressed.On the left hand side of the fourth line, the type of tone signaling system selected by the user isdisplayed. For example, "5TON" indicates 5 Tone signaling while “DTMF” indicates Dual Tone MultiFrequency signaling.The right hand side of the fourth line is used to display data that the user enters (for example, 5 Tonecalling sequences). These character spaces are also used by the Base Tech II Base Repeater to displaymessages and information directed to the user.15.

![Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual8It is important that the Base Tech II Base Repeater be correctly installed at its working location by aqualified radio technician.As a minimum, it is necessary to:o Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that hassufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct).o Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas (ensure that the VSWR of theantennas is correct).o Insert the microphone into the microphone connector on the front panel.Basic Operation• Switch OnSwitch the Base Tech II Base Repeater "ON" by pressing the knob (12). Then check that the LEDindicator (13) is illuminated.• Adjust the Volume SettingRotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until the audio levelfrom the speaker is suitable.• Adjust the Squelch SettingRotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until the backgroundnoise can no longer be heard. It is wise to rotate the knob slightly further in the clockwise direction so thatvariations in the background noise level do not "break" the squelch setting and cause annoying squelchnoises to be heard from the speaker.• Select the ChannelSelect the required channel by pressing the CH key followed by the channel number key. The channelnumber keys must be selected within two seconds. For example, [CH] + [0] + [1] to select Channel 1. TheLCD Display should now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name:"CH01 NAME".• ReceivingYou should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel #1 on the Base Tech II BaseRepeater. It may be necessary to adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening requirements.• TransmittingDepending on the legal requirements in your country, and the operating requirements within yourorganization, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign. In addition, it will probably be necessary toannounce 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 speakclearly 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 whilespeaking into the microphone.](https://usermanual.wiki/Midland-Radio/713110B/User-Guide-274779-Page-8.png)
![Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual9Front Panel OperationThis section describes most signaling and other advanced features that are available on the Base Tech IIBase Repeater. The availability of some features is dependent on the programming of the transceiver andinstalled options. You may find it worthwhile to discuss these features in detail with your radio supplier toobtain a full understanding of their benefits.• Keypad OperationThe Keypad is the interface between the user and the Base Tech II Base Repeater. It is used to enable ordisable various functions and to enter the required data for signaling purposes.The word (5-Tone) or (DTMF) shown after the described feature indicates that the described featureapplies to the particular signaling format.The following keys are used for the purposes described:[0] - [9] Entering new channel numbersEntering the "KILL" passwordEntering signaling encoding numbers (5-Tone) (DTMF)Entering DTMF numbers (DTMF)[A] Advancing the Base Tech II Base Repeater to the next higher channelEntering the signaling "A" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "A" Tone (DTMF)[B] Advancing the Base Tech II Base Repeater to the next lower channelEntering the signaling "B" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "B" Tone (DTMF)[C] Entering the signaling "C" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)Encodes the "C" Tone (DTMF)[D] Entering the signaling "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 signaling 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 the BaseTech II Base Repeater.

![Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual11• Changing ChannelsTo change to another channel, simply press the [CH] key followed by the number of the required channelwithin two seconds.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 enter two digits for the Channel Number. The channel # locationdisplayed in the LCD will become blank as soon as the [CH] key is pressed. The cursor will blink at thelocation 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 channelnumbers. Pressing the[CH] then the [A] key will advance the channel to the next higher programmedchannel, 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 Base Tech II BaseRepeater. Accordingly, the LCD display may appear to advance more than one channel if the missedchannel is not programmed into the Base Tech II Base Repeater.SignalingThe Base Tech II Base Repeater includes some very sophisticated signaling capabilities. We suggest thatyou have your radio supplier conduct some training on the use of 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 useful in practice when the Base Tech II Base Repeater is used in base stationconfiguration.The Base Tech II Base Repeater supports the 5-Tone sequential, and/or the DTMF, and the Single Tonesignaling formats. The required signaling format(s) must be enabled when the Base Tech II BaseRepeater is programmed.• 5-Tone SignalingAvailable Tones5-Tone signaling is commonly referred to as “Selective Calling” (or Selcall) and usually comprises of aseries of 5 tones sequentially transmitted or received in accordance with certain international standards. Itis possible to use longer sequences to enhance the signaling capabilities and to provide additionalfunctions.Accordingly, the Base Tech II 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.Entering a 5-Tone Encode SequenceWhen switched "ON", the Base Tech II Base Repeater carries out its self-test routine, then waits ready to](https://usermanual.wiki/Midland-Radio/713110B/User-Guide-274779-Page-11.png)
![Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual12accept 5-Tone encode numbers. Accordingly, it is necessary to enter the required 5-Tone digits directlyusing the keypad, then pressing the [#] key to transmit the 5-Tone sequence. (Up to sixteen digits can beentered).If it is necessary to enter the "R" number sequence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] key must bepressed before pressing the [#] key.If a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [#] key is pressed, then the Base Tech II BaseRepeater will recall the most recent 5-Tone number and transmit it.Recalling the last encoded sequencePressing the [•] will recall the most recent 5-Tone encode sequence and display the sequence in the LCDdisplay. 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.• DTMF SignalingAvailable TonesThe following DTMF tones can be used in any number/letter combination:[0] - [9], [A] - [D], [•], and [#]NOTE: Tone [B] is NOT available if the "Attach Decode No" field in the DTMF Encode Menu has been setto "ON".Up to sixteen (16) DTMF digits can be encoded in one calling sequence.DTMF Tone EntryThere are two methods of entering DTMF tones. The specific tone encoding format is selected during theprogramming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater in the <Main Menu><Encode Set><DTMFEncode><Attach Decode No.> field.Attach Decode No. "OFF" formatPressing the PTT lever first automatically selects the DTMF encoding format and allows direct entry ofDTMF tones.Hold the PTT lever on the microphone while pressing the required DTMF tones. The tones will betransmitted as the keys are being pressed.Attach Decode No. "ON" formatAttach Decode No. "ON" automatically encodes the user’s DTMF decode number after the encodenumber. This can be used for any purpose.Enter the required DTMF tones (up to sixteen tones, except "B" tone) and then transmit the total tonesequence (including the users decode number) by pressing the [#] key. All tones will be transmitted in onecontinuous sequence after pressing the [#] 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 tobe sent.](https://usermanual.wiki/Midland-Radio/713110B/User-Guide-274779-Page-12.png)
![Base Tech II Base/Repeater Station Operator’s Manual13For example, 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 Base Tech II Base Repeater 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 aDTMF tone.Pressing the [SHIFT] key and then the [#] will encode ONLY the encode number (and not the decodenumber).Redialing with DTMFIf, during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater, the <Attach Decode No> field has beenset to "OFF", the redialing function operates as follows:Press [SHIFT], then press [#] and the Base Tech II Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMFnumber.If, during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater, the <Attach Decode No> field has beenset to "ON", the redialling function operates as follows:Press [#] and the Base Tech II Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMF number with the BaseTech II Base Repeater's programmed decode number.Press [SHIFT], then press [#] and the Base Tech II Base Repeater will redial the last encoded DTMFnumber without the Base Tech II Base Repeater's programmed decode number.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 DecodeNo> field has been set to "ON" during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater. First, confirmthat the LCD is NOT displaying any DTMF numbers. Then press [V] and the last encoded DTMF numberwill 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.Encoding DTMF numbers with the 5-Tone system enabledIt is possible to enter DTMF numbers even with the 5-Tone system enabled. This function must beenabled during the programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater by setting the <DTMF Encode> fieldin the <5Tone Encode Menu> to "ENABLE".To enter a DTMF number (with 5-Tone signaling enabled), the user must press the PTT lever whileentering the first DTMF number. Second and subsequent numbers do NOT require the PTT lever to bepressed, provided all numbers are entered within a few seconds (before the display reverts to 5-Tonemode and displays "5TON" in the LCD display).• Single Tone EncodingThe Base Tech II Base Repeater has the ability to encode one of six single tone frequencies for 1, 2, 3, or4 seconds. This function is enabled during programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater by selectingthe <Single Tone ON> field in the <Encode Menu>, and setting the encode period.Press the [SHIFT] and the [4] keys to put the Base Tech II Base Repeater into Single Tone Encodingmode. "S1" and the tone frequency ("xxxxHz") will be displayed in the tone area of the LCD display forabout 4 seconds until the Base Tech II Base Repeater reverts back to the normal signaling mode.](https://usermanual.wiki/Midland-Radio/713110B/User-Guide-274779-Page-13.png)
