OUT-OF-RANGE Alert, Dual Watch Function

Model GXT5000 Series

OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT

Your GXT5000 has a OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT function to indicate whether two GXT5000 radios are within usable range. To turn on the OUT- OF-RANGE ALERT function press the MENU button until an “oU” icon appears on the display, and to the right an “oF” icon appear. Select “on” by pressing the / buttons. To confirm, press the PTT button or press MENU button to move to the next feature setting.

The OUT-RANGE ALERT setting of both the transmitting and receiving radios must be on for this function to work properly.

When the OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT function is on, the radio will automatically transmit an OUT-OF-RANGEcode every 3 minutes. If another GXT5000 radio (with OUT-OF-RANGEfunction on and within usable range) receives the tone, it will automatically reply by sending a confirmation code to the transmitting radio. This cycle will continue every 3 minutes.

If the transmitting radio does not receive a confirmation code (the receiving GXT5000 radio’s OUT-OF-RANGEfunction is off and/or outside its usable range) then the transmitting GXT5000 Series radio will “beep” every 20 seconds and the ANTENNA icon will continue to blink until it receives a correct confirmation code.

If the GXT5000 beep and tone is disabled (see SILENT OPERATION) and it is outside the usable range, then it will not “beep” every 20 seconds and only the ANTENNA icon will continue to blink until it receives a correct confirmation code.

To turn off the OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT function press the MENU button until an “oU” icon appears on the display, and to the right an “on” icon appear. Select “oF” by pressing the / buttons.

To confirm, press the PTT button or press MENU button to move to the next feature setting.

DUAL WATCH FUNCTION

Your GXT5000 Series has a DUAL WATCH function, to enable user to scan 2 channels for any activity. The first channel will be the current channel setting and the second channel will be the selected channel on the MENU.

To turn the DUAL WATCH on, press the MENU button until the “DW” icon appears blinking on the left of the display, while the “oF” icon appears on the display. Select the second channel by pressing the / button. Press again the MENU and the / button to choose the CTCSS Privacy Code (oF ~ 38), or press again the MENU and / button to set the DCS Privacy Code (oF~83).
