TALK AROUND

You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power
failure, etc.). During such an occurence, you can continue communication by
using the Talk Around feature if it has been programmed by your dealer.
Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers without
the use of a repeater. However, if the station you want to contact is too far away,
or there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact
the station.
Press the key programmed as Talk Around to activate the Talk Around function.
•The icon appears on the display while the Talk Around function is ON.
•When using Talk Around, the receive frequency is used for both transmission and
reception, and the decode signalling is used for both encoding and decoding.
Press the Talk Around key again to deactivate the Talk Around function.

DTMF NUMBER DISPLAY

Note: This feature can only be activated when DTMF Signaling is turned OFF.
When you receive a DTMF code containing at least 3 digits, it will appear on the
display. Each successive digit will continue to scroll across the display, as long
as each digit is received within 1 second of the previous digit. If no digit is
received for more than 1 second, then a new digit is received, the display will
clear and begin with the new digit.
•The transceiver can display a maximum of 8 digits at a time.
Cancel the DTMF Number Display by pressing any key other than the Volume
Up and Volume Down keys ( / ).
You can transmit DTMF codes by entering them into an optional microphone with
a DTMF keypad.

HORN ALERT

Horn Alert is a useful feature that will notify you of a received call while you are
away from your vehicle. The transceiver is programmed to sound the vehicle
horn or activate some other external alert device (such as the vehicle headlights)
when a call is received that has correct signaling.
Press the key programmed as Horn Alert to activate the Horn Alert function.
•The icon appears on the display while the Horn Alert function is active.
Press the Horn Alert key again to deactivate the Horn Alert function.
