Ask your dealer for details concerning the Voice Scrambler board and the Encryption DES/AES settings.

SECURE (ENCRYPTED) TRANSMISSION

Press the key programmed as Scrambler/ Encryption to switch the transceiver to secure (encrypted) transmission.

• The

(KCH-14) or OPT (KCH-15) icon appears on the display.

Pressing the microphone PTT switch after the Scrambler or Encryption function has been turned ON encrypts the transmitted signal.

Each group member must activate their respective Scrambler/ Encryption functions to descramble the received signals.

SELECTING THE SCRAMBLER CODE (FM)

1Press the key programmed as Scrambler/ Encryption Code or press and hold the key programmed as Scrambler/ Encryption for 1 second, to enter Code Selection mode.

2Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to increase or decrease the Scrambler code.

There are 16 available Scrambler codes (1 ~ 16).

Each group member must use the same code in order for the transceivers to descramble the received signals.

3Press the PF 1, PF 2, or PF 3 key (the first, second, or third key from the left, after the CH control) to exit Code Selection mode.

SELECTING THE ENCRYPTION KEY (APCO)

1Press the key programmed as Scrambler/ Encryption Code or press and hold the key programmed as Scrambler/ Encryption for 1 second, to enter Key Selection mode.

2Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select the new Encryption key.

There are 16 available Encryption keys (1 ~ 16).

Each group member must select a code that is in each member’s key list in order for the transceivers to descramble the received signals.

3Press the PF 1, PF 2, or PF 3 key (the first, second, or third key from the left, after the CH control) to exit Key Selection mode.
