EMERGENCY CALLS
If your transceiver has been programmed with the Emergency function, you can make
emergency calls.
1 Press and hold the key programmed as [Emergency].
• Ask your dealer for the length of time necessary to hold this key before the
transceiver enters Emergency mode.
• When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, it will change to the Emergency
channel and begin transmitting based on how it is set up by your dealer.
2 To exit Emergency mode, press the [Emergency] key again.
• If the Emergency mode completes a preset number of cycles, Emergency mode will
automatically end and the transceiver will return to the zone and channel that was in
use before Emergency mode was entered.
Note:
◆ Your dealer can set the transceiver to emit a tone when transmitting in Emergency mode.
◆ Your dealer can set the transceiver to emit tones and received signals as normal, or mute the
speaker during Emergency operation.
SCRAMBLER
Press the key programmed as [Scrambler/ Encryption], to switch the transceiver to
secure (encrypted) transmission.
• Pressing the PTT switch after the Scrambler function has been turned ON encrypts the
transmitted signal.
SIGNALING
■ Quiet Talk (QT)/ Digital Quiet Talk (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver channels.
A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear)
calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
Operator Selectable Tone
If a key has been programmed with [OST], you can reprogram the QT/DQT settings on
each of your channels.
1 Select your desired channel.
2 Press and hold the key programmed as [OST] for 1 second.
3 Press the / key to select your desired tone or code.
• Your dealer can set up to 40 tones/codes.
4 When you have finished operating using OST, press the [OST] key again to turn the
OST function OFF.
