USING DTSS

1Select the desired band.

2Press [F], [DTSS] to switch the DTSS function ON.

• "DT" appears.

3Select the appropriate DTSS code {page 50}.

4When you are called:

The squelch of your transceiver opens only when the stored DTSS code is received.

•If, after DTSS has opened the squelch, no signal is received for more than 2 seconds, the squelch will close.

When you make a call:

Press and hold Mic [PTT] to transmit your DTSS code.

•Each time you press [PTT], the DTSS code is transmitted for about 0.5 seconds. After establishing a contact, you can eliminate this by switching the DTSS function OFF.

5To switch the DTSS function OFF, repeat pressing [F], [DTSS] twice.

Note:

◆DTSS may not function in the following situations:

•The other station is using a battery saver function.

•A repeater ID and the DTSS code are received simultaneously.

If difficulty is experienced in these cases, press [MR] while in the transmit mode. The DTSS code is re-transmitted.

◆DTSS cannot be used with some repeaters.

◆DTSS also may not function if buttons are pressed or the VOL control is turned while a valid DTSS code is received.

◆Both the DTSS status and a DTSS code can be stored in a memory channel or the Call channel. Further, when recalling either a memory channel or the Call channel with DTSS status ON while using the VFO with Page switched ON, page is given priority and the DTSS status switches OFF.
