OPERATING FEATURES

7) Revert Channel

The revert channel is used to transmit during scanning and

set by the programming software (KPG-60D).

Priority
The transceiver reverts to the priority channel

Priority with talkback
The transceiver reverts to the priority channel.
If you press PTT during a resume timer (dropout delay time,

TX dwell time) or calling, you can transmit on current
channel to answer to the call however revert channel is set
to priority channel.

After resume time, scan re-starts and transmission channel

is return to priority channel.

Selected channel
The transceiver reverts to the channel before scanning or

the channel that you changed during scan.

Last called channel
The transceiver reverts to the last called channel during

the scan.

Last used channel
The transceiver reverts to the last used (transmitted)

channel during scan. “Last used” revert channel includes
talkback function.

Selected with talkback
The transceiver reverts to the channel before scanning or

the channel that you changed during scan.

8) Scan End

When you reactivate the key programmed to the scan

function during scan mode, the scan ends.

The scan icon “SCN” and “-SCAN-” or revert channel

(programmable) display goes off.

9) Temporarily Delete/Add

It is possible to delete or add channel temporarily during

scan. When scan stops on unnecessary channel for example
by interference of the other party, activate the delete/add
function (for example press the key), then that channel is
deleted temporarily and scan re-start immediately.

When you would like to add the deleted channel temporarily

to scan sequence, select the desired (deleted) channel during
scan, activate the delete/add function (for example press the
key) before scan re-start.

That channel is added temporarily to scan sequence. The

temporary deleted or added channels are returns to pre-set
delete/add, when the transceiver exits from scan mode.

4. Details of Features

1) Time-out timer

The time-out timer can be programmed off or in 30 seconds

increments from 30 seconds five minutes. If the transmitter is
keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time, the
transmitter is disabled and a warning tone sounds while the
PTT button is held down. The alert tone stops when the PTT
button is released.

2) Sub LCD display

You can use 3-digit the display to display the channel

number or group number. It is useful when the main (12-digit)
display indicates, group or channel name or other functions.

3) Selective Call Alert LED

You can select whether or not the LED on the transceiver

flashes in an orange color when selective call was occurred.

4) PTT ID

PTT ID provides a DTMF or FFSK (DMS : Fleet-ID) ANI to

be sent with every time PTT (beginning of transmission, end
of transmission, or both).

You can program PTT ID “on” or “off” for each channel.

The contents of ID are programmed for each transceiver.

The timing that the transceiver sends ID is programmable.

BOT : DTMF ID (BOT)/FFSK ID is sent on beginning of
transmission.
EOT : DTMF ID (EOT)/FFSK ID is sent on end of
transmission.
Both : DTMF ID (BOT)/FFSK ID is sent on beginning of
transmission and DTMF ID (EOT)/FFSK ID is sent on end
of transmission.

5) Radio password

When the password is set in the transceiver, user can not

use the transceiver unless enter the correct password.

This code can be up to 6 digits from 0 to 9 and input with

the keypad or selector, and “CALL” key.

6) Minimum Volume

The minimum volume is programmable (off (0) to 31). The

transceiver remains the minimum volume level however the
mechanical volume position is set to zero.

7) "TOT" Pre-Alert

The transceiver has "TOT" pre-alert timer. This parameter

selects the time at which the transceiver generates "TOT" pre-
alert tone before "TOT" is expired.

"TOT" will be expired when the selected time passes from
