Paging the Loudmouth
™
receiver and PA speaker
The Loudmouth
™
receiver and PA speaker can be paged with 2-way radios programmed for Quiet Call (CTCSS),
Digital Quiet Call (DCS), 2-Tone Paging, or Selcall paging formats. Each format offers a unique method of paging
the Loudmouth
™
receiver and PA speaker.
Refer to the Programming section of this manual for specific instructions on programming your Loudmouth
™
receiver and PA speaker to one of these selective signaling formats.
Ritron strongly recommends operation of the Loudmouth
™
receiver and PA
speaker with one of the following selective signaling formats enabled.
Paging the Loudmouth
™
with Quiet Call (CTCSS) only:
•
To page the loudspeaker a user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the
Loudmouth
™
channel.
•
Your 2-way radio must be programmed for a channel dedicated to Loudmouth
™
operation. Only those
radios programmed with the Loudmouth
™
channel will be able to access the loudspeaker.
•
The 2-way radio’s Loudmouth
™
channel and the Loudmouth
™
receiver must be programmed for the
same QC code. All Ritron radios offer 50 different field-programmable QC codes from which to choose.
Paging the Loudmouth
™
with Digital Quiet Call (DCS) only:
•
To page the loudspeaker a user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the
Loudmouth
™
channel.
•
Your 2-way radio must be programmed for a channel dedicated to Loudmouth
™
operation. Only those
radios programmed with the Loudmouth
™
channel will be able to access the loudspeaker.
•
The 2-way radio’s Loudmouth
™
channel and the Loudmouth
™
receiver must be programmed for the
same DQC code. All Ritron radios offer 104 different field-programmable DQC codes from which to
choose.
Paging the Loudmouth
™
with 2-Tone Paging:
•
To page the Loudmouth
™
the 2-way radio must first send the correct 2-Tone Paging code. Once
access to the loudspeaker is accomplished, the user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks
while on the Loudmouth
™
channel. After a period of inactivity the Loudmouth
™
is automatically reset,
and will then require the correct 2-Tone Paging code to re-gain access.
•
Only 2-way radios programmed to send the correct 2-Tone code on the Loudmouth
™
channel can
access the Loudmouth
™
wireless PA speaker. However, once access is gained, any 2-way radio that
operates on the Loudmouth
™
channel can access the loudspeaker up until the time that the
Loudmouth
™
has automatically reset.
•
Can be used in conjunction with QC or DQC for added security. The 2-way radio and the Loudmouth
™
receiver must be programmed for the same QC or DQC code.
Paging the Loudmouth
™
with Selcall:
•
To page the Loudmouth
™
the 2-way radio must be programmed to send the correct Selcall code every
time the PTT is pressed. The user simply presses the 2-way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the
Loudmouth
™
channel.
•
Only 2-way radios programmed to send the correct Selcall code on the Loudmouth
™
channel can
access the Loudmouth
™
wireless PA speaker.
•
Can be used in conjunction with QC or DQC for added security. The 2-way radio and the Loudmouth
™
receiver must be programmed for the same QC or DQC code
