BASIC OPERATION
■
Alert-Ring operation
This function can repeat Call-Ring operation to indicate an
emergency situation.
1. Hold down [A-Ring] or [Lock/A-Ring] to make a Alert-
Ring call to your group members.
•The status indicator alternately blinks green, orange, and
red.
•While activated, the ringer sounds continue according to the
set period of time. After the set period ends, the transceiver
repeatedly transmits an Alert-Ring.
NOTE:
While using this function, you cannot do other
operations such as selecting a channel.
2. Hold down [A-Ring] or [Lock/A-Ring] again to stop the
beeps.
■
Smart-Ring operation
// Only for the Analog channels //
This function can judge whether the other station is
within range or out of range. A transceiver that receives
a Smart-Ring call from another transceiver sounds the
Ringer melody. Also, the called transceiver sends an
acknowledgment signal back to calling transceiver.
The called transceivers automatically send
an answer back call to your transceiver.
NOTE:
• To use this function, the operating channel and CTCSS tone
must be the same on all of your group's transceivers.
• This function can be operated for channels which C.Tone is set
for.
1. Push [S-Ring] or [S-Ring/C-Ring] to make a Smart-
Ring call.
•When an answer back call is received, the transceiver
sounds beeps and the Status indicator blinks orange and
then green.
When no answer back call is received, the transceiver
sounds three short failure beeps.
2. Push [PTT] to answer the call and stop the beeps and
blinking.
