Entering a 5-Tone Encode Sequence
When switched "ON", the Base Tech II Base Repeater carries out its self-test routine, then waits ready to accept
5-Tone encode numbers. Accordingly, it is necessary to enter the required 5-Tone digits directly using the
keypad, then pressing the [#] key to transmit the 5-Tone sequence. (Up to sixteen digits can be entered).
If it is necessary to enter the "R" number sequence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] key must be pressed
before pressing the [#] key.
If a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [#] key is pressed, then the Base Tech II Base
Repeater will recall the most recent 5-Tone number and transmit it.
Recalling the last encoded sequence
Pressing the [
•
] will recall the most recent 5-Tone encode sequence and display the sequence in the LCD
display. Continuing to press the [
•
] key will delete the last digit of the sequence until all digits are deleted. In
practice, users will usually delete the last one or two digits before entering the new digits.

DTMF Signaling
Available Tones
The following DTMF tones can be used in any number/letter combination:
[0] - [9], [A] - [D], [
•
], and [#]
NOTE: Tone [B] is NOT available if the "Attach Decode No" field in the DTMF Encode Menu has been set to
"ON".
Up to sixteen (16) DTMF digits can be encoded in one calling sequence.
DTMF Tone Entry
There are two methods of entering DTMF tones. The specific tone encoding format is selected during the
programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater in the <Main Menu><Encode Set><DTMF Encode><Attach
Decode No.> field.
Attach Decode No. "OFF" format
Pressing the PTT lever first automatically selects the DTMF encoding format and allows direct entry of DTMF
tones.
Hold the PTT lever on the microphone while pressing the required DTMF tones. The tones will be transmitted as
the keys are being pressed.
