SIGNALING
■ Quiet Talk (QT)/ Digital Quiet Talk (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on
your transceiver channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a
sub-audible tone/code which allows you to ignore (not hear)
calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
Operator Selectable Tone (OST)
If a key has been programmed with OST, you can
reprogram the QT/DQT settings on each of your channels.
1 Select your desired channel.
2 Press and hold the key programmed as OST for
1 second.
3 Press / to select your desired tone or code.
• Your dealer can set up to 40 tones/codes.
4 Press to save your new setting.
5 When you have finished operating using OST, press the
OST key again to turn the OST function OFF.
■ Radio Access Number (RAN)
RAN is a new signaling system designed for digital radio
communications.
When a channel is set up with a RAN, squelch will only
open when a call containing a matching RAN is received.
If a call containing a different RAN is made on the same
channel you are using, you will not hear the call. This
allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who
are using the same channel.
