Additional Functions and Settings of the TEAM PT-3508 (3)
Some of the following functions need to be programmed with the software T-UP2. In the fol-
lowing description, all functions have been activated. For further information regarding the setup
of those functions, see the manual of the software T-UP2.
1) Set Up of the Squelch Threshold
This function is always enabled.
Procedure to set the squelch threshold:
1. Press the function key [FUNC] ( 9 ). A low acknowledgement tone is projected through the
speaker and the symbol will appear on the left side of the display.
2. Press the TX-Power key [LOW] ( 11 ), and the display will show
–
in the lower left corner,
SqL
in the middle and a number between 0 and 9 on the right side. The number represents
the value of the squelch threshold. The higher the number is, the stronger the incoming signal
has to be for it to pass the squelch. When the squelch threshold is set to 0, it is deactivated.
To lower the threshold, turn the rotary channel selector ( 3 ) counterclockwise. Turning the
channel selector clockwise will increase the threshold.
3. Press any key to confirm the setting. Th actual channel will be displayed again.
2) Temporary Change of the CTCSS Setting
This function is always enabled.
Procedure to temporarily change the CTCSS code of a channel
1. Press the function key [FUNC] ( 9 ) for 1 -2 seconds. A low and a high acknowledgement tone
are projected and the symbol starts blinking on the left side of the display.
2. Press the monitor key [MONI] ( 7 ) and the display will read
OFF
. All prior CTCSS and DQT
settings are overridden now.
3. Set the desired CTCSS code by turning the channel selector ( 3 ) clockwise or counterclock-
wise. On the display, the frequency of the CTCSS code shows in the middle and the CTCSS
number on the right. There are 39 CTCSS codes available.
To switch back to the prior setting of CTCSS and DQT codes, press any key except the PTT key
[PTT] ( 6 ) or the monitor key [MONI] ( 7 ), or switch off the PT-3508 (3) shortly.

Switch of a Channel’s Transmission and Reception Settings
This function can only be used if different frequencies for transmission and reception of a
channel are set, and/or if the CTCSS / DQT settings for reception and transmission differ. This
function switches temporarily all settings of reception and transmission of a channel i.e. the recei-
ver uses the transmitter’s frequency and CTCSS or DQT code and vice versa.
To activate the switch function:
1. Press the function key [FUNC] ( 9 ), the symbol will be displayed on the left side.
2. Press the dial key [DIAL] ( 8 ), the letter
R
in the lower right corner indicates that the switch
function is activated.
The switch function can be deactivated by,
a) pressing the keys [FUNC] ( 9 ) and [DIAL] ( 8 ),
b) changing the channel or
c) switching off the PT-3508 (3).
4) Key Lock Function
This function is useful to prevent involuntary changes of settings by accidentally pushing any
keys. Two key lock functions are available, that can be set via the software T-UP2:
a) Complete Key Lock
deactivates the channel selector ( 3 ) and all keys except for the keys [FUNC] ( 9 ), [MONI] ( 7 )
and [PTT] ( 6 ).
b) Key-Pad Lock
disables only the DTMF key pad ( 12 ).
Procedure to activate the key lock function:
1. Press the function key [FUNC] ( 9 ) for 1 to 2 seconds until the symbol on the lower left side
starts blinking.
2. Press the dial key [DIAL] ( 8 ) and the letter
L
on the right side of the display appears to
indicate that the key lock function is activated.
To deactivate the key lock functions repeat the aforementioned procedure.
5) Display Background Light Setting
The background light of the display ( 2 ) can be set via the software T-UP2 or manually at
the PT-3508 (3). There are three available options:
a)
Auto
When turning the channel selector or pressing any key except the PTT or monitor key, the
background lights turns on and turns off automatically after 5 seconds.
b)
On
The background light is permanently on as long as the PT-3508 (3) is turned on.
c)
Off
The background lights is permanently off.
Procedure to set the background light:
1. Press the function key [FUNC] ( 9 ) for 1 to 2 seconds until the symbol on the lower left side
starts blinking.
2. Press the scan key [SCAN] ( 10 ) and in the upper right corner the current setting is indicated
by one of following symbols:
