9 DTMF FUNCTIONS

Pressing [] after selecting the 8th digit completes the programming.

To complete programming a name with less than 8 digits, press [MNU] or [] twice.

Each press of [] causes the cursor to move backward.

9Press the keys in sequence on the keypad to enter a DTMF number with up to 16 digits.

You can also turn the Tuning control or press

[]/ [] to select the required DTMF number for each digit. Select a space if you want to put a pause.

Press [MONI] to delete a number at the cursor.

10 Press [] or [MNU] to complete the programming.

You can confirm the stored DTMF number by using steps 1 to 4.

TRANSMITTING A STORED DTMF NUMBER

1While pressing and holding [PTT], press [MNU].

2Release only [MNU], then turn the Tuning control

or press []/ [] to select the desired DTMF memory channel.

3While still holding [PTT], press [] or [MNU] to transmit the DTMF tones.

The number stored in the channel scrolls across the display accompanied by DTMF tones from the speaker.

After transmission, the frequency display is restored.

If you do not need to confirm the memory channel contents, press [0] to [9] instead of turning the Tuning control or pressing []/ [] in step 2 to select a channel number. The stored DTMF number will be immediately transmitted. You need not press [] or [MNU] in step 3.

Note: If you select an empty DTMF memory channel and press [MNU] or [], an error beep sounds and the frequency display is restored.

ADJUSTING THE DTMF TONE TRANSMISSION SPEED

This transceiver allows you to configure the DTMF number transmission speed between Fast (default) and Slow. If a repeater cannot respond to the fast speed, adjust this parameter.

1Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 11 (DTMF SPD).

3Press [] or [MNU].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select “FAST” (default) or “SLOW”.

The tone duration of FAST is 50 ms and SLOW is 100 ms.

5Press [] or [MNU] to store the setting. Otherwise, press [] or [PTT] to cancel.

ADJUSTING THE PAUSE DURATION

You can also change the pause duration (a space digit) stored in memory channels; the default is 500 ms.

DTMF LOCK

Assuming you have a transceiver with the optional speaker microphone installed and you are carrying it in the holder or bag, you sometimes may want to disable the keypad DTMF transmission to avoid accidental DTMF transmission. In this case, turn the DTMF Lock function ON.

1Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 14 (DTMF LOCK).
