frequency which is stored in Memory Channel “
000
” for more than five seconds, the radio
will automatically transmit a brief (0.5 second) beep tone every 2.5 seconds until the EAI
timer expiration at the power level stored in that memory channel; it is NOT necessary for
the incapacitated person to press the
PTT
switch.
In the Continuous mode, when the
FT-60R
receives the CTCSS tone pair which is stored
in the Receiving Pager Code Memory (configured via Set Mode Item 31:
PAG.CDR
) on
the frequency which is stored in Memory Channel “
000
” for more than five seconds, the
radio will automatically transmit (with maximum microphone gain)
continuously
, until the
EAI timer expiration, at the power level stored in that memory channel; it is NOT neces-
sary for the incapacitated person to press the
PTT
switch.
Furthermore, if your call sign is stored in the radio via Set Mode Item 11:
CW WRT
and you have
enabled the CW identifier by Set Mode Item 10:
CWID
, the radio will transmit your callsign on
the air when the EAI feature is first engaged by the remote page, and every 10 minutes thereater.
The “callsign” ID can be changed to any desired sequence of characters, such as a name.
After sending the callsign or name, the radio will repeatedly transmit three tones for a user-
defined period of time (between 1 and 30 minutes). The callsign or name will be transmit-
ted every 10 minutes.
The Emergency Automatic ID (EAI) Feature requires that you (1) store the CTCSS Tone
Pair into the Receiving Pager Memory (see page 44 for procedure), and (2) store the desired
UHF coordination frequency
into Memory Channel “
000
” (see page 28 for procedure).
