QUIET TALK (QT) AND DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)

QT and DQT tones are encoded tones that help to relieve you of unwanted calls. Calls that are received on your channel that do not have the proper tone will not be heard. You will only hear calls that are received if they carry the tones that match those set up in your transceiver.

Likewise, other persons will not hear your transmissions unless their transceivers have a QT/DQT tone that matches yours.

Your dealer will program tones onto the channels. However, you can change those tones by following the instructions below.

Note: Depending on dealer programming, if you change the channel, or turn the transceiver power OFF and then back ON, your tones may revert back to the original tones set up by your dealer.

1Press the key programmed as Operator Selectable Tone to enter OST Code Select mode.

2Press the Side 1 and Side 2 keys to select the desired code.

•Pressing the Side 1 key will increase the value. Pressing the Side 2 key will decrease the value.

3Press the Operator Selectable Tone key again to set the selected value and exit OST Code Select mode.

•“OPT” appears on the display. (If you selected “OFF”, “OPT” does not appear.)
