2-TONE PAGING OPERATION
To use 2-tone paging the SST "D-Series"
radio must be PC programmed for this
option
, the radio does not operate with 2-tone
decoding as it is received from the factory. See
your Ritron dealer or contact Ritron directly for PC
programming of this option.
To activate 2-tone paging you must first select a
radio channel that has been PC programmed for
2-tone paging decode. The radio is set at the
factory to automatically activate 2-tone decode
any time the paging channel is selected. Or you
can manually reset the radio channel to receive a
2-tone page by simultaneously pressing both
volume buttons and holding briefly before
releasing. The handheld sounds three beeps
when 2-tone paging is turned on. If you are
unable to set the radio, you have selected a
channel that is not programmed for 2-tone paging
decode.
When receiving a 2-tone page the
radio will sound a "ring" tone similar
to a telephone and the display will
show a "C" (as shown) to indicate
that a call has been received. The "C"
will continue to be displayed until
any
of the radio controls are pushed.
After a call been received you may
proceed with normal two way
communication until 2-tone paging
has been reset. The "ring" tone will
sound every time a 2-tone page is
decoded.
OPERATION
To reset 2-tone paging after receiving a call,
simultaneously press both of the volume buttons
(as shown in FIG-4 below) and hold briefly before
releasing. The handheld sounds three beeps
when 2-tone paging is reset and the display will
show the channel number. The radio can be op-
tionally programmed to automatically reset if a call
is not answered within 15 seconds.
