17/5411

QUIET TALK/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK

QT (Quiet Talk) and DQT (Digital Quiet Talk) are functions thatreject signals from undesired parties that are using the samechannel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker onlywhen you receive a signal that contains a tone or codematching the one set up on the channel you are using.Likewise, when you transmit on a channel set up with QT orDQT, the receiving station must have a matching tone or codein order to hear your signal.

You can select a tone or code for each channel. There are 38QT tones (01 to 38) and 83 DQT codes (DQT01 to DQT83).After changing the QT/ DQT setting, confirm that the othermembers in your group have selected the same tone or code.


18/5412

1 Press the MENU key.

The current setting blinks.

2 Press the v or w key to select your desiredvalue.

The values range from 01 to 38 for QT tones,then proceed to 01 to 83 for DQT codes.When you use a DQT code, the iconappears on the display.

means you have turned off both QT andDQT.

Refer to pages 38 and 39 for the actual QTtones and DQT codes.

3 Press the MENU key 3 times, or press thePTT, MON, or CAL key to confirm the setting.


19/5413

SCANNING THE CHANNELS

You can scan all the channels of the transceiver to search fora signal. When the transceiver verifies a signal on a channel,it proceeds to check whether or not its QT/ DQT settingmatches that which is set up on your transceiver, if you haveset a channel with QT/ DQT. If the QT/ DQT matches, thetransceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch soyou can listen to the call. If the QT/ DQT does not match, thecall is ignored and scanning continues.

Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it isactivated. You can turn the scan function (the ability toperform scan) ON or OFF in Setting Mode:

1 Turn the transceiver power OFF.

2 Press and hold the MENU key while turning

the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).

3 Press the v or w key to select .

4 Press the MENU key to select (scanfunction off) or (scan function on).

5 Press the PTT, MON, or CAL key to exitSetting Mode.

To begin scanning:

1 Press and hold the v key for 1 second.

appears on the display.

2 When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQTmatches, the channel number appears on thedisplay and blinks.

3 When the signal is no longer present, thetransceiver waits for 5 seconds before

scanning continues. If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds

elapse, the transceiver will remain on thechannel until the new signal is no longerpresent, at which time it will again wait for5 seconds before continuing.

4 To end the scan at any time, press and hold

the v key for 1 second. The transceiver returns to the channel you

were using before you started scanning.


21/5415

REVERT CHANNELThe revert channel is the channel from which you startscanning. So, for example, if you are on channel 1 when youbegin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1.

During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically selectthe transceivers revert channel (in the above example,channel 1) and you will begin transmitting. However, if youare currently paused on another channel after having receiveda signal (in the above example, any channel other thanchannel 1 such as channel 9), pressing the PTT switch willallow you to transmit on that channel, rather than returning to

the revert channel. Scanning will resume after 5 seconds,unless a signal is present on the channel.


22/5416

MONITORING A CHANNEL

When no signals are present, the squelch on the transceiverautomatically mutes the speaker so you will not hearbackground noise. Using the MON key, you can disable thesquelch to unmute the speaker at any time. This feature isuseful for a variety of reasons:

It allows you to confirm the channel activity so that youdont make a call while another party is using the same

channel. It allows you to adjust the volume level without having to

wait for a call.

When receiving a call that is intermittent due to a weaksignal, disabling the squelch will allow you to listen to thecall without it continuously cutting out.

To manually deactivate the squelch, press andhold the MON key.

When deactivated, the icon appears on thedisplay and the LED lights green.

To return to normal operation, simply release theMON key.


23/5417

VOICE ACTIVATED CONTROL (VOX)

Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiverhands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you mustuse an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-inmicrophone. For best operation conditions, we recommendyou use an optional headset with both an ear piece and amicrophone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.

With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when the

transceiver transmits. Because of this, you must take carethat the ambient noise around you is not so loud that it causesthe transceiver to transmit. Due to the automatic switchingbetween transmission and reception, we recommend you setthe VOX gain such that it will not activate transmission whenin an area with excessive ambient noise.

VOX GAIN

To enjoy the VOX function, take the time to properly adjust theVOX Gain. This level controls the VOX circuit to detect thepresence or absence of your voice.






24/5418

4 Press the MENU key to select (VOXfunction is off) or (VOX gain level 1) to (VOX gain level 3).

While adjusting the VOX Gain, the LED lightsorange.

Note: Setting the VOX gain to OFF deactivates VOX.In order to transmit with VOX turned off, you must usethe PTT switch.


VOX DELAY TIME

If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after youstop speaking, the end of your message may not betransmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay timethat allows your entire message to be transmitted. However,do not make the delay overly long.


2 Press and hold the MENU key while turningthe transceiver power ON (for 1 second).



25/5419

4 Press the MENU key to select (delayfor 100 ms), (300 ms), (500 ms), (1 second), (1.5 seconds), or (3 seconds).


VOX OPERATION

1 Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 3 (page 17).

2 To transmit, simply speak into the headset microphone.

You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver

automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting.

3 To stop transmitting, stop speaking.

Transmission will continue momentarily after you stopspeaking. You can select the delay time as described onpage 18.

4 To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level (page 17) to

(OFF).


26/5420

VOX BUSY LOCKOUTWhile using VOX, you can set the transceiver to detect whenthe channel is busy (in use). With this function turned on,VOX will not allow you to transmit while the channel is being

used. You can transmit only when the channel is free.




4 Press the MENU key to select (busylockout turned on) or (busy lockout

turned off).



27/5421

PRIVACY TALK

Whereas the Quiet Talk and Digital Quiet Talk functions(page 11) allow you to ignore unwanted calls, Privacy Talkallows you to hold a conversation in complete privacy. Whenactivated, any other party listening in on your channel will beunable to understand your conversation. The transceiverscrambles your voice so that anybody listening to yourconversation will not be able to understand what you aresaying.

In order for members of your own group to understand yourcall while you are using Privacy Talk, all other members mustalso activate Privacy Talk on their transceivers. Thisscrambles everybodys voice while transmitting andunscrambles the voice message on your own transceiverwhen you receive the message.

To set up your own calling alert tone:





4 Press the MENU key to select (callingalert tone 1) to (calling alert tone 6).

Each time you press MENU to select a calling

alert tone, the new tone sounds.


INCOMING CALL NOTIFICATION TYPE

Note: To use Incoming Call Notification, you must set up a QT toneor a DQT code (page 11).

Incoming Call Notification is used to inform you of when a callis being received. You can set this function to notify you via atone or through vibrating. When vibration is activated (either

with the vibration only setting or the vibration and tonesetting), the icon appears on the display.


35/5429

When set to notify you via a tone only (setting 1), the toneis emitted when a busy signal is received and theQT/ DQT signalling matches. The tone will sound for15 seconds before turning off. While the tone sounds, youwill not hear any audio from the speaker. To turn the tone

off and listen to the received call, press any key. After thecall is finished, the transceiver will wait for 10 secondsbefore resetting the Incoming Call Notification. If youreceive a new call within those 10 seconds, the tone willnot sound. If no call is received within 10 seconds,Incoming Call Notification will reset so that the next time acall is received, the tone will sound again.

When set to notify you via vibration only (setting 2), thetransceiver vibrates when a busy signal is received andthe QT/ DQT signalling matches. Audio can be heard fromthe speaker while the transceiver vibrates. To stop the15 second vibrator, press any key. After the call isfinished, the transceiver will wait for 10 seconds beforeresetting the Incoming Call Notification.

When set to notify you via both a tone and throughvibration (setting 3), the tone is emitted and the transceivervibrates when a busy signal is received and the QT/ DQTsignalling matches. As with a tone only, you will not hearaudio from the speaker until the tone is stopped bypressing a key or the 15 second tone stops. After the callis finished, the transceiver will wait for 10 seconds before

resetting the Incoming Call Notification.
