ments)
Beginning or End of transmission
Alert Beep ON/OFF
Per-channel basis selection (Channel 1 to 16)
Emergency ID
Type 99 Tone
1.
Select the appropriate channel to receive Type 99
tone signalling. The PG flag will be displayed on
this channel.
2.
When receiving a Type 99 call, answer in one of
the following two ways:
a.
To reply to a message - After hearing the Type
99 paging tone, press the PTT switch and an-
swer the call. After completing the communi-
cation, press the MONitor button to reset the
radio for the next call.
b.
To avoid listening to a call - After hearing the
Type 99 paging tone, press the MONitor but-
ton to reset the radio for the next call.
3.
Type 99 operation can be disabled by pressing the
PTT switch when the radio is in Selective mode.
While the switch is pressed, the radio beeps to in-
dicate that no transmission is occurring.
After releasing the PTT switch, the PG flag flashes
in the LCD window to indicate the radio is now in
the Monitor mode (CG or Squelch operation only).
Pressing the PTT switch results in a normal trans-
mission.
If the Scan list includes a Type 99 channel and is SCAN
enabled, the Type 99 tones will be ignored. SCAN operates
on a carrier and Channel Guard basis only.
Channel Busy Lock-Out
This feature is programmable on a per-channel basis. If
programmed, the transmit function is inhibited if the carrier
is being received with the incorrect Channel Guard. If the
correct Channel Guard is being received, transmission will
be allowed. If Channel Guard is disabled and a carrier with
the incorrect Channel Guard is received, the message will
be heard but transmission will still be inhibited. If no Chan-
nel Guard is programmed, Channel Busy Lock-Out is made
on carrier presence only. Type 99 cannot be programmed on
a channel with Channel Busy Lock-Out.
SCAN OPERATION
The SCAN function allows monitoring of up to 8 or 16
receive channels. The scanned channels can be any fre-
quency within the frequency band limits of the radio and
can be Channel Guard-protected (tone or digital).
Any channel can be scanned with or without a priority
level. One channel can be programmed for Priority 1 (P1)
and another for Priority 2 (P2) with any or all remaining
channels programmed as Non-Priority channels.
SCAN VOCABULARY
The following are terms frequently used when SCAN is
used:
Simple SCAN - Simple SCAN describes the condi-
tion that exists when there is no activity on any
channel in the Scan list.
Priority SCAN - Priority SCAN describes the con-
dition that exists when SCAN locks on a non-pri-
ority channel while sampling the Priority channels.
If a Type 99 channel is in the Scan list and
SCAN is enabled, the Type 99 tones are ig-
nored.
Scanning is provided on a carrier and Chan-
nel Guard basis only!
NOTE
Please note that all reference to SCAN, Scan
list, etc. applies only to the 8- and 16-channel
radios.
The 2-channel radios are not equipped with the
SCAN function.
