Page 17: 4 Programmable Functions
PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS ‘ ‘ General In the following explanations, programmable function names are bracketed, the specific switch used to activate the function depends on programming. D D KEY LOCK FUNCTION1/2 This function locks access to all programmable switches (except the switch assigned for the lock function): Lock1: All Key Lock (except Lock key). - Page 18 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS D D SCAN FUNCTION The scan function allows you to search a pre-programmed group of channels for signals. Push the [Scan] switch to start/stop scan. • Scan pauses on a channel when receiving a signal. • “Lockout SCAN” (pre-programmed list SCAN) or “Priority SCAN” can be pre-programmed.
- Page 19 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS D D MONITOR AUDIBLE FUNCTION The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The trans- ceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby: Audible condition: This condition mutes audio ONLY when no carrier is present.
- Page 20 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS D D DTMF TRANSMISSION This function allows you to send a pre-programmed DTMF code to control a repeater, open another transceiver’s squelch, etc. Automatic pre-programmed transmission: Push the [DTMF Autodial] switch to send a DTMF code. D D EMERGENCY FUNCTION The emergency function allows you to send your ID quickly and easily to your Base Station, etc.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS D D CODE SQUELCH This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in group activities or security related activities where unwanted output can be a problem. The function is similar to a CTCSS tone squelch. In order to use the above functions, cloning is necessary via a PC using the optional CS-F11 cloning software. -
Page 22: Conventional Operation
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION ‘ ‘ Receiving and transmitting NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the trans- ceiver. See p. 4 for antenna attachment. Turn power ON as described on p. 2. Receiving: q Select a desired channel. w Listen for a transmission and adjust [VOL] to a comfortable lis- tening level. -
Page 23: Call Procedure
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION ‘ ‘ Call procedure When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice trans- mission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you. -
Page 24: Setting Squelch Level
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION ‘ ‘ Setting squelch level The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal depending on the signal strength. q While pushing [PTT] and [Lower], turn the transceiver’s power on to enter the squelch adjustment mode. w Push [Upper] to increase the squelch level (tight squelch) or [Upper] [Lower] to decrease the squelch... -
