The LCD backlighting will turn on anytime a control button is pressed.

  • Page 20: Status Indicators

    STATUS INDICATORS This status indicator turns on when the scan function of the radio has been enabled. When this indicator is on, the selected channel is a non-priority scan channel. When this indicator is on, the selected channel is a Priority 1 scan channel. When this indicator is on, the selected channel is a Priority 2 scan channel.

  • Page 21: Alert Tones

    When this indicator is on, the selected channel is enabled for transmit high power. TX/CAS LED Red light on steady - transmitter is active or keyed. Red light blinking - low battery voltage, recharge or replace battery. Green on steady - channel busy indication, radio has detected a carrier on selected channel.
  • Page 22 Power-up Self-test Each time the radio is turned on, it will perform power-up self-test. All display segments will turn on, and after successful completion of the test, the radio will change to the last operating state (channel, etc.) and sound three (3) or four (4) beeps. Three (3) beeps sound if the radio is operating in the normal (not scan) state.
  • Page 23 Channel Busy Lock-out If channel busy lock-out has been programmed on the selected channel, the transmit function will be inhibited when the operator press the PTT button while the radio detects a carrier on the channel unless the carrier is modulated with the corresponding Channel Guard tone or code for that selected channel.
  • Page 24 A.N.I. Alert Tone If the A.N.I. transmission is programmed to occur before the beginning of the conversation, an optional Automatic Number Identification (A.N.I.) alert beep can be enabled or disabled by programming. If the alert tone is enabled, a beep will sound after the PTT is pressed to indicate to the operator to begin voice transmission.
  • Page 25 Radio/Channel Failure The simultaneous flashing of the LCD display and the sounding of beeps indicates the synthesizer is unable to correctly lock on the selected channel. At this time the radio changes to a mute condition and no audio is heard from the speaker when receiving and the transmit is inhibited if the PTT button is pressed.

  • Page 26: Operation

    OPERATION RECEIVING A MESSAGE 1. Turn radio rotating ON/OFF/VOLUME control clockwise from the "off" detent. After the radio has successfully completed its power-up self-test, it will begin operation at the last operating state (channel, etc.). The operating status of the radio will be displayed on the LCD. If enabled, the power-up alert tones (three or four beeps) will be sounded.

  • Page 27: Sending A Message

    NOTE Pressing the MONITOR button unsquelches the receiver for the first three (3) seconds the button is held. All transmissions will be heard, even if Channel Guard protected. If it is held for more than three (3) seconds, the Channel Guard decoder will be toggled on or off (if programmed for the selected channel).

To turn off the scanning function, press the button and the SCN status flag will go off. Receiver Scan Rate Scan rate will vary depending upon the number of channels on the scan list and whether scanning for Channel Guard.
  • Page 33 in the LCD display along with the corresponding status flag, S, P1 or P2. The scan function is now in the priority scan mode and scanning will be determined by the following conditions: • NON-PRIORITY PROGRAMMED CHANNELS - The radio will lock on the channel until activity on the channel ceases.
  • Page 34 If the receive channel is Priority 1, the radio will lock onto this channel for the duration of the activity and no other channels will be scanned. After the activity ceases, scanning will resume after a pre-programmed delay. • PRIORITY 2, NON-PRIORITY PROGRAMMED CHANNELS - This condition operates similar to the above with the Priority 2 replacing the Priority 1 references.
  • Page 35 If activity is detected on the Priority 2 channel instead of Priority 1 or a non-priority channel, the radio will sample the Priority 1 channel for activity. The radio will remain locked onto the Priority 2 channel for the duration of the activity unless the sampling of the Priority 1 channel detects activity.
  • Page 36 Adding Channels To Scan List 1. Scan must be off to add channels to the scan list. If the SCN status flag is on, press the button to turn scan off. 2. Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL SELECT control. 3.
  • Page 37 Deleting Channels From Scan List 1. Scan must be off to delete channels from the scan list. If the SCN status flag is on, press the button to turn scan off. 2. Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL SELECT control. 3.
  • Page 38 Using The Radio With Scan The Selected Channel The selected channel is the channel in the display when scan is turned on by the button. The selected channel does not necessarily have to be a channel on the scan list. When a signal is not being received, the radio reverts to this channel for transmitting.
  • Page 39 Should the operator change the channel with the CHANNEL SELECT control during scanning, the new channel will become the selected channel. If the selected channel is changed to a channel not in the scan list, the new channel will be temporarily added to the scan list until the selected channel is changed again or scan function is turned off.
