2-Tone Paging
To access the RIB-600Analog receiver
the 2-way radio must first send the correct 2-Tone Paging code. Once access to the PA
system is accomplished, the user simply presses the 2-
way radio’s PTT and speaks while on the RIB-600Analog channel.
After a period of inactivity the RIB-600Analog receiver will automatically reset, and will then require the correct 2-Tone Paging
code to re-gain access.
1. Move to an area that is away from any PA system speaker to prevent feedback.
2. Be sure the microphone on the calling radio is pointed away from any PA system speaker.
3. Set the portable, base station, or mobile radio to the RIB-600Analog channel.
4. Monitor the channel before transmitting to be sure there are no other radio users on the RIB-600Analog frequency.
5. Send the correct 2-Tone Paging code. Refer to your 2-
way radio’s user manual to determine how you send 2-tone
paging codes.
6. Wait until the entire 2-tone code has been sent.
7. Press and hold the PTT button and pause for about 1 second, allowing the pre-announce tone to be heard.
8. Speak into the radio microphone to broadcast your message over the PA system speakers. If other radios are operating
on the RIB-600Analog channel they will also hear your message.
9. Release the PTT button when your message is complete.
10. If the radio PTT is pressed again before the RIB-600Analog receiver has reset, the message will be heard on the PA
system speakers without the need for a 2-tone Paging code.
11. Return the portable, base station, or mobile radio to the normal operating channel.
With 2-Tone Paging operation:
Once RIB-600Analog receiver has decoded the correct 2-tone code any radio on the RIB-600Analog channel can
talk over the PA system without the need for 2-tone paging.
After a 2-tone code has been successfully decoded, the programmable Two-Tone Reset Time sets the length of
time the RIB-600Analog receiver can go without receiving a signal before 2-tone is once again required for access.
Factory default Two-Tone Reset Time is 5 seconds.
Can be used in conjunction with QC or DQC for added security. The 2-way radio and the RIB-600Analog receiver
must be programmed for the same QC or DQC code
.

Record and Play
(20 seconds of record time MAXIMUM)
When 2-way radios are used in the same area as the PA system speakers, feedback may result that can render the system
unusable. For those applications the RIB-600Analog receiver can be programmed to record the incoming messages and play
them back over the PA system speakers. Set the portable, base station, or mobile radio to the RIB-600Analog channel.
1. Monitor the channel before transmitting to be sure there are no other radio users on the RIB-600Analog frequency.
2. Press and hold the PTT button on your 2-way radio.
3. Speak into the radio microphone to record your message into the RIB-600Analog receiver. If other radios are operating
on the RIB-600Analog channel they will hear your message as you record it.
4. Release the PTT button when your message is complete.
5. The pre-announce tone will be heard and the PA system speakers will begin playing your recorded message.
6. When finished, return the portable, base station, or mobile radio to the normal operating channel.
With Record and Play operation:
Recorded messages are limited to a maximum of 20 seconds.
Any of the selective signaling options can be used in conjunction with Record and Play.
The RIB-600Analog can be programmed to delay the playback of a recorded message. This is useful when using
the Relay option for activation a strobe light to indicate that a speaker message is imminent.
The RIB-600Analog can be programmed to repeat a recorded message concurrently for the number of times
programmed with 3 seconds between each repeat. The pre-announce tone will only be heard once, before the start
of the recorded message playback.
