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-457 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 batteries 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 6 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 final time to turn the radio off.
Turn the radio back on for normal operation.
