Advanced Operation
You can use the same procedure to store the Memory Codes of other individuals or groups
in Code Memories [ 1 ] ~ [ 9 ] .
Although up to nine Code Memories can be stored, you might only need a few of them to
call your friends or a specific group. Likewise, you'll probably only want your radio to
respond to pages directed to you (or maybe your group or club's code). The following
explains how to temporarily inhibit unused Code Memories.
Page Code Inhibit
During the Code Memory storage procedure above, when storing Code Memories [ 1 ] ~
[ 9 ] , you have an opportunity to decide whether your transceiver should respond to incom-
ing paging calls on a particular Memory Code.
To activate Code setting:
•
Press the [ F/W ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key, to enter the Set mode.
‚
Rotate the DIAL to select Menu #40 ("PG CODE
ƒ
Press the [ F/W ] key, then rotate the DIAL to select the Code Memories register into
which you wish to this code string.
„
Press the [ F/W ] key, rotate the DIAL to set the function ON.
...
When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the new setting and exit
to Set mode.
DTMF Code Squelch Operation
As described earlier, with DTMF code squelch activated (CODE displayed), your squelch
will not open until you receive the proper 3-digit DTMF code according to the selected
code memory. Likewise, each time you press the PTT, the same 3-digit code is automati-
cally sent to open the other station's DTMF coded squelch.
With the Code Squelch activated in this manner, you will hear three DTMF code digits
transmitted when you press your PTT switch. These are the digits stored in the Code
Memory currently selected, and they will open the squelch of the other station.
Therefore, at the start of each transmission, you must wait a second or two after pressing
the PTT switch for the DTMF code to be sent (you will hear it in your speaker).
When you finish your conversation, if you need to reactivate DTMF Code Paging, press
CODE (PAGE) until PAGE is again displayed.
