PAGER by pressing [F/W]  [7(P1)].

FT-60R such that a ringing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in, as
described previously. See page 25 for details.
Paging Answer Back
When you press the PTT switch to respond to a page call, the FT-60R transmits the same
CTCSS tone pair. This tone pair will open the Code Squelch of the calling station. If you
prefer, you can have the FT-60R respond to page calls automatically (“transpond”).
To enable this feature:
1. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [0( )SET] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 30: PAG.ABK.
3. Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select ABK. ON.
5. Press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation.
The Paging Answer Back feature constitutes a form of “remote control” op-
eration that may be restricted to certain frequencies. U.S. users should con-
firm the current status of §97.201(b) of the FCC’s rules governing the Ama-
teur service before utilizing this feature on the 144 MHz band.
