RECEIVING
1 Select the desired zone and channel.
2 When you hear a call, readjust the volume as necessary.
2-TONE SIGNALLING
2-Tone Signalling only opens the squelch when the transceiver receives two
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.
When the squelch opens, the CALL icon flashes.
After a correct 2-Tone signal is received and the squelch opens, pressing the key
programmed as Monitor will cancel the connection.
If your dealer programmed Transpond for 2-Tone Signalling, the transceiver
automatically sends an acknowledgment signal to the station that called you after
receiving the 2-Tone signal.
If your dealer has programmed Tone Alert for 2-Tone Signalling, the transceiver
will emit a beep when the correct 2-Tone signal is received.
To transmit a 2-Tone signal:
1 While pressing the PTT switch, press the key programmed as 2-Tone
Encode.
2 Continue to transmit as normal.
