CODE SQUELCH
Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer.
This function turns the transceiver squelch OFF only
when it receives the DTMF code that has been set up in
your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the
correct code will not be heard. Consequently, you can
communicate with a specific party without listening to
other parties using the same channel.
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your
transceiver. This is useful when you want to send
information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your
dealer for details.
Note:
Code Squelch cannot be used on channels programmed with
Selective Call or 2-Tone Signalling.
■Receiving
When you receive a signal containing the correct
code, squelch turns OFF and you will hear the call.
•“CALL” appears on the display and the LED indicator
flashes orange.
•To mute the speaker after squelch turns OFF, press the
key programmed as Monitor or Squelch.
•Your dealer can program squelch to automatically turn
back ON after a specific time period elapses.
•If Transpond for Code Squelch is programmed, an
acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling
station. Transpond does not function when you are
called with a Group code. Transpond for Code
Squelch can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code,
or a code stored in memory location 1.
•If Tone Alert for Code Squelch is programmed, an alert
tone will sound when the correct code is received.
