The OUTPOST
®
Callbox can be field programmed for a number of advanced features. Refer to Table 6 for the three
digit codes available for field programming. In our example we will program an RQX-456 for an RQX Reset Time of 30
seconds.
1. Refer
to
Table 6
to determine the three-digit feature code and write it down.
2. Loosen the (4) captive screws in the front corners of the case. These screws are captive to the
housing; to prevent damaging them, DO NOT remove the screws from the housing.
3. Separate the case front from the case back, leaving the battery connected to the radio. Make
sure the unit has batteries installed.
NOTE: The voltage of the batteries must be greater than 6 VDC to program properly.
4. Press and release the ON/PTT button on the front of the unit to turn the radio on.
5. Press
and
HOLD the Program Button (See FIG-3 on page 5 for location). A "P" will appear on
the program display as you enter program mode and the radio will beep rapidly.
6. Release the program button after the beeping has stopped. The radio will emit a triple beep
indicating that the radio is in program mode and a hyphen will appear on the program display.
7. Enter the 1
st
digit of the feature code by clicking the Program button until the program display
shows the desired number. Pause—the radio will sound a low tone and show a hyphen across
the center of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit.
8. Enter the 2
nd
digit of the feature code by clicking the Program button until the program display
shows the desired number. Pause—the radio sounds a low tone and will show a hyphen
across the center of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit.
9. Enter the 3
rd
digit of the feature code by clicking the Program button until the program display
shows the desired number. Pause—the radio sounds a low tone and will show a hyphen
across the center of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit.
10 Press and release the ON/PTT button to save your programming. A triple beep will sound to
indicate that programming was successful and a hyphen will appear on the program display.
The radio is now ready for another program entry.
NOTE: An error tone will sound if you attempt to save an incorrect code, an "E" will appear on
the display. Check the digits you are attempting to enter, then re-enter.
11. Once you have made your final program entry, press the ON/PTT button a second time to turn
the radio off. Turn the radio back on for normal operation.
