Either you or the other station will also have to select
code memory C, so that you will both be using the
same DTMF code (either. but not both, must reselect
their Code Memory).
With the Code Squelch activated in this manner, you

hear three DTMF code digits transmitted when
you press your PIT switch. These are the digits
stored in the currently selected code memory (and

place of the 100's-of-MHz digit if One
Touch Paging option is enabled), and that open the
squelch of the other station.

Trigger Paging
This feature overcomes the inconvenience of manu-
ally SWitching to and from Code Squelch operation
when responding to a page. It can only be used
between transceivers equipped with this feature:
such as the Yaesu FT-11R/41 Rand FT-51R.
To activate Trigger Paging, pressJ?)1J -t~, then ~
repeatedly, until T.PA GE is displayed. When a call is
received, T.PAGE blinks, and the alert ringer
sounds. If the other station is also using Trigger
Paging, communications can begin just by acknow-
ledging the page: press the PIT and talk within 3
seconds after the DTMF code sequence is sent. The
pager resets to receive a new call as soon as either
station fails to respond to the other within 3 seconds.
Paging "Answer Back"
When you press the PIT to respond to a page call,
the caller's 10 code, followed by a DTMF
"*"
and
your personal 10 code, are transmitted. This informs
the calling station that their page was received. If you
prefer, you can have the FT-8500 respond automat-
ically (transpond) to received calls using the answer-
back feature.

received page by "paging back" the calling station
(just as if you manually selected their 3-digit code
