    DISPLAY INFORMATION The following information appears at various times in the transceiver display. To view all the information in the display, turn power on with the backlight switch pressed. (Normal operation resumes when the switch is released.) Alphanumeric Display In the standard (non-phone) mode, this area of the display (SYST-ID) indicates either the 7-character system or 5- character group identification (the group identification is available only on Multi-Net systems).

  • Page 10: Placing A Standard Call

    Placing a Standard Call Proceed as follows: 1. Select the desired system and group. 2. If a conventional system is selected, the channel must be monitored before transmitting (see “Monitoring Before Transmitting”). 3. Press the push-to-talk switch and begin talking. If a Multi-Net system is selected, a clear-to-talk tone sounds to indicate when the system has been successfully accessed and speaking can begin (see “Clear-to-Talk Tone”...

    4. Momentarily press the push-to-talk switch to acquire a dial tone. Then press the SEND key to transmit the number in the display. A short tone then sounds to indicate that the call was accepted by the system. After this tone sounds, the following ringing or second short tone sounds: Ringing Tone - A ringing tone indicates that the other party is being rung.

    bers can be locked so that they cannot be changed. If you were to change a number with a unique identification, the identification is erased and it can be reprogrammed again only by taking the transceiver back to your system operator.

  • Page 14: Scan Resume Delay

    The System Scan feature monitors the programmed systems in sequence. When a message is detected that your transceiver is programmed to receive, scanning stops and the message is received. Shortly after the message is complete, scanning resumes. System scanning is turned on and off by the front panel SCN key. When scanning is enabled, “SCN” is indicated in the lower part of the display.

  • Page 15: Scan List Programming

    NOTE: If the current quick select position is locked (see page 29), the transmission always occurs on the selected sys- tem/group even if the “temporary” or “last received” configuration is programmed.

    this tone sounds, no more access attempts are made until the push-to-talk switch is released and then pressed again. • If this tone sounds after the transmitter has been on for an extended period and “TX TIME” also appears in the display, the transmitter has been disabled by the time-out timer feature (see “Time-Out Timer”).

  • Page 17: Clear-To-Talk Tone

    Channel Monitoring In the Multi-Net mode, channel monitoring is performed automatically by the transceiver. In the conventional mode, it is performed manually as described in the “Monitoring Before Transmitting” section. Group Select When a Multi-Net system is selected, the group select switch selects an ID code. This ID code determines the mobile or group of mobiles that are being called and also the calls that are received.

  • Page 18: Priority Calls

    When group scan is programmed on a system, calls are received on all selectable groups, regardless of which is selected. In addition, the display automatically changes to the group on which the call is received. Without group scan, calls are received on only the selected group of each system. Groups can be deleted from the scan list using the LCK key as described in “Scan List Programming”.

    standard call is being made, and the dial tone is heard if a special call is being made. The call can then be placed in the normal manner. If no call is placed soon after the tone sounds, the queue mode is automatically exited and normal operation resumes.

  • Page 20: Other Features

    Call Guard Squelch Each group (channel) of a conventional system can be programmed with Call Guard squelch. This feature elimi- nates the distraction and annoyance resulting from hearing messages intended for others on the channel. It does this by using a subaudible tone or digital code to control the squelch. This tone or code is unique to your transceiver or a group of transceivers on that channel.
  • Page 21 Call Indicator The call indicator is the word “CALL” in the lower part of the display. The purpose of this indicator is to show that a call was received while you were away from the transceiver. It can be programmed by your system operator to turn on when calls are received on certain groups (Multi-Net systems) or channels (conventional systems).

  • Page 27: Speaking Into Microphone

    Speaking Into Microphone For best results, hold the speaker grille about l-2 inches away from your mouth and speak slowly and distinctly at a normal conversational level. Do not shout since it distorts your voice and does not increase range. Make sure the push- to-talk switch is pressed before you begin to speak and released as soon as the message is complete.
