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. q Select the desired TX code channel or 5-tone code according to your System Operator's instructions. · This may not be necessary depending on programming. 18, 19 for selection. w Push [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programmable keys). e After transmitting, the remainder of your communication can be carried out in the normal fashion. Selective calling Non-selective calling 15 3 BASIC OPERATION I Receiving and transmitting NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver. 2 for antenna attachment. Receiving: q Rotate [VOL] to turn power ON. e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a comfortable listening level. Transmitting: Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference. q While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. · When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure described at the previous page may be necessary. w Release [PTT] to return to receive. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm from your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. 16 BASIC OPERATION 3 D Receiving note · Vibration function (Depends on the version) When the matched RX code signal is received, the transceiver may vibrate for a specified time period, depending on the pre-setting. NOTE: · The transceiver cannot stop the vibration suddenly after pushing any key or [PTT]. · The vibration sound may be heard at the communication party, or be recorded if the recording function is activated when [PTT] is pushed to stop the vibration. 3 D Transmitting notes · Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions: - The channel is in mute condition (`Inaudible' condition; " " does not appear). (Depending on the pre-setting) - The selected channel is a `receive only' channel. · Time-out timer After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the time-out timer starts, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting. · Penalty timer Once the time-out timer starts, transmission is further inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer. 17 3 BASIC OPERATION D TX code channel selection If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] assigned to it, the indication can be toggled between the operating channel number (or name) and TX code channel number (or name). When the TX code channel number (or name) is displayed, [CH Up] or [CH Down] selects the TX code channel. USING [TX CODE CH SELECT] KEY: q Push [TX Code CH Select]-- a TX code channel number (or name) appears. e After selecting, push [TX Code CH Select] to set. · Return to the stand-by mode. r Push [Call] to transmit the selected TX code. USING [TX CODE CH UP]/[TX CODE CH DOWN] KEY: If the transceiver has a [TX Code CH Up] or [TX Code CH Down] key assignment, the programmed TX code channel can be selected directly when pushed. D TX code number edit If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] or [TX Code Enter] assigned to it, TX code contents can be edited within the allowable digits. USING [TX CODE CH SELECT] KEY: q Push [TX Code CH Select] to enter the TX code channel selection mode. · Select the desired operating channel before entering the TX code channel selection mode if necessary. w Push [TX Code CH Select] for 1 sec. to enter the TX code edit mode. · The digit to be edited blinks. 18 BASIC OPERATION 3 e Push [TX Code CH Select] to select the desired digit to be edited. [. . . ] Then detach the base clip from the back of the transceiver. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 CAUTION! HOLD THE TRANSCEIVER TIGHTLY, WHEN ATTACHING OR DETACHING THE TRANSCEIVER FROM THE BELT CLIP. Otherwise the transceiver may not be attached to the holder, or may not swivel properly if the transceiver is accidentally dropped and the base clip is scratched or damaged. 18 19 20 37 8 OPTIONS D BATTERY PACK/CASE · BP-226 BATTERY CASE Battery case for 5 × AA (LR6) alkaline cells. · BP-227 Li-Ion BATTERY PACK 7. 2 V/1700 mAh Li-Ion battery pack.
