When operating on a duplex channel system (for example, a repeater station), TA Scan allows the transceiver to search both transmit and receive frequencies on your duplex system. FOLLOW ME SCAN When a signal is encountered on the receive frequency, the transceiver will pause until the signal disappears. When a signal is encountered on the transmit frequency, the transceiver will check for activity on the receive frequency every few seconds (interval programmed by your Vertex Standard dealer). The Follow Me Scan feature checks a user-assigned priority channel in addition to the channels previously preprogrammed into a radio’s scan list. For example, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available channels) are designated for “Scanning”, the user may assign Channel 2 as the “user-assigned” priority channel via the Follow Me Scan. To activate Follow Me Scan, first select the channel you want to designate as the “user-assigned priority channel” by positioning the CH Selector knob on the desired “priority” channel. Next, press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key. Finally, rotate the CH Selector knob to the desired “operating channel”. The scanner will search the two channels (user-assigned priority channel and operating channel) and pause when it finds a transmission on either channel. TA (TALK AROUND) SCAN Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key to toggle the TA Scan feature “On” and “Off”. 18 Note: The TA Scan feature does not activate on a Simplex Channel. SCAN SET Scan Set enables the user to add or delete a current channel temporarily to a pre-programmed scan list. TALK AROUND Talk Around is most commonly utilized when operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, common with use of a repeater station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater station and talk directly to a nearby station or transceiver. This feature has no effect when you are operating on “simplex” channels, where the receive and transmit frequencies are already the same. EVX-261 OPERATING MANUAL Vertex Standard LMR, Inc. Exhibit 8: Operating Manual FCC ID: AXI11374720 IC: 10239A-11374720 ADVANCED OPERATION Note that your dealer may have mode provision for “Talk Around” channels by programming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions. RESET When operating in the selective call feature, resets the communication by an assigned PF key. CALL Send a pre-programmed 2 Tone call signal with a one touch PF key. CALL 1 TO CALL 3 Recalls the pre-programmed stations with a one touch PF key. SPEED DIAL Your Vertex Standard dealer may have pre-programmed Auto-Dial telephone number memories into your radio. To dial a number: Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key to send a pre-defined DTMF tone. The DTMF tones sent during the dialing sequence will be heard in the speaker. EVX-261 OPERATING MANUAL DUTY The Duty function is specific to paging operation. When Duty mode is “ON” the user will hear all traffic (specific to sub audio signaling) on the paging channel. The paging alert will sound when the programmed 2 Tone or 5 Tone sub audio signal is received. If Duty mode is “OFF”, normal radio traffic is not heard on the paging channel. The radio will only unmute and sound the paging alert with the programmed 2 Tone or 5 Tone signal is received. TRANSMIT BATTERY SAVER DISABLE The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by reducing transmit power when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station is being received. Caution is advised when using this feature, as your transmission power could degrade the audio heard by the receiving radios in your communication path. Disabling the Transmit Battery saver by pressing (or press and holding) the PF key is recommended if you are operating in a location where high power is almost always required. Press again, (or press and hold again), the assigned PF key, the Transmit Battery Saver activates to reduce the transmit power when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station is being received. 19 Vertex Standard LMR, Inc. Exhibit 8: Operating Manual FCC ID: AXI11374720 IC: 10239A-11374720 LOCK ARTS™ (AUTO RANGE TRANSPOND SYSTEM) In order to prevent accidental channel changes or inadvertent transmissions, various aspects of the CH Selector knob, Programmable keys, and PTT switch may be locked. The precise lockout configuration is programmed by your Authorized Vertex Standard dealer. This system is designed to inform the operator when you and another ARTS™-equipped transceivers and stations are within communication range using the DCS Encoder/ Decoder. To activate the locking feature, first turn the radio off. Then, press and hold the PTT and SIDE-2 key while turning the radio on again. To cancel the key locking, repeat this process. 20 During ARTS™ operation, when the radio receives an incoming ARTS™ signal, a short single beep will sound. If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no signal has been received, causing a short triple beep to sound. Moving back into communications range, a short single beep will again sound as the ARTS™ signal transmission from another transceiver or station is back in range.
