Voice Scrambler - Kenwood TK - 7160 Instruction Manual

V S
OICE CRAMBLER
Note: There are 2 options for using the scrambler. Your dealer can activate or deactivate the built-in
scrambler function of the transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler board to your
transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.
Although the built-in scrambler function does not offer complete privacy with your
calls, it does prevent others from easily listening in on your calls. When
activated, the transceiver distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your
conversation will not be able to clearly hear what you are saying.
In order for members of your own group to clearly hear your call while you are
using the scrambler, all other members must also activate the scrambler
functions on their transceivers. This distorts everybody's voice while transmitting
and corrects the voice message on your own transceiver when you receive the
call.
Press the key programmed as Scrambler to activate the Scrambler.
• The icon appears on the display while the scrambler is active.
Press the Scrambler key again to deactivate the Scrambler.
On the TK-7160/ TK-8160 transceiver, when using an optional scrambler board,
you can change the scrambler code set up on your transceiver using the
Scrambler key:
1 Press and hold the key programmed as Scrambler for 2 seconds.
• The current scrambler code appears on the display.
2 Press the <B and C> keys to select the desired scrambler code.
3 Press the S or
mode.
• After changing your scrambler code, be sure to inform all members of your group
of the new code so they can reset their transceivers as well. The scrambler
function will not perform correctly between transceivers that are set up with
different scrambler codes.
