OPERATING BASICS ON/ OFF WITCHING OWER Turn the Power switch/ Volume control clockwise to switch the transceiver ON. • If the Radio Password function is programmed, “LOCK 1” will appear on the display when the power is turned ON. To unlock the transceiver, enter the password, then press the Side 2 key.
AKING A 1 Select the desired group and channel. 2 Press the Monitor key to check whether or not the channel is free. • You must use the key programmed with either Monitor or Monitor Momentary. • If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free. 3 Press and hold the PTT switch and speak into the microphone.
SCAN If the Scan function is programmed, groups or channels can be scanned by pressing the key programmed as Scan. Scan can be used as either Single Scan or Multi Scan. Single Scan monitors only the channels of a single group. Multi Scan monitors all channels of every group.
OCKOUT If a programmable auxiliary key is programmed with Scan Del/Add, each channel can be locked out of the scan sequence manually. The add indicator ( ▼ ) will no longer appear on the display when the selected channel is locked out. EVERT You can select a revert channel using the Channel keys (or encoder).
SIGNALLING DTMF S IGNALLING Your dealer can program a group with a DTMF signalling code. When you receive a call with a code that matches yours, the signalling indicator will flash and a tone will sound. Squelch opens and you will hear the call. Squelch will close when you receive a call with a code that matches your signalling reset code.
IGNALLING 5-Tone Signalling is either activated or deactivated by your dealer. 5-Tone Signalling only opens the squelch when the transceiver receives five tones corresponding to those set up in the transceiver. When the squelch opens, you will be able to hear the caller without any further action. After a correct 5-Tone signal is received and the squelch opens, pressing the key programmed as Monitor will cancel the connection.
DMS: ALPHANUMERIC 2-WAY PAGING FUNCTION DMS (Digital Message System) is an Alphanumeric 2-way Paging Function, and is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation. DMS enables a variety of paging functions on your transceiver, some of which depend on dealer programming.
