Locking / Unlocking the Radio’s Function

Locking the radio will disable all buttons except the Toggle Light / Enter and Parameter Transfer Button (4), Monitor Button (5), Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button (6) and . Pressing a locked button will result being shown on the LCD Screen (18). To lock / unlock the radio:

•Press and hold (for about 2 seconds) until two beeps are heard.

NOTE

The lock / unlock status remains unchanged even when the power is turned off.

Changing Squelch Modes

Squelch acts as a kind of ﬁltering system which helps to control the amount of signals the radio receives. Conﬁguring the radio to receive only the desired sig- nals minimizes interference from other users of the same channel.

This radio supports Carrier Squelch (CSQ), Coded Squelch - Tone Private-Line (PL), Digital Private-Line (DPL) and Signalling Squelch - Voice Selective Call (SelCall) operations on a per channel basis.

Carrier Squelch transmission allows all radios tuned to the selected receive channel (frequency) to hear the conversation. Coded Squelch transmission only allows radio(s) having the same PL / DPL code on the selected receive channel (frequency) to hear the con- versation. Signalling Squelch transmission can only be decoded by radios equipped with optional DTMF Decode boards with valid Voice Selective Call (Sel- Call) identiﬁcation code (see “Voice Selective Call (Optional)” on page 44).
