Accessing remote program mode
To access remote program mode, the System Operator must key the remote access PIN, followed by the
pound (#) symbol. Not just any user can enter the PIN – the repeater must also detect the presence of the
System Operator’s CTCSS tone / DCS code. If the System Operator’s tone/code is detected, then the repeater
will not repeat the call, so don’t worry about the PIN being transmitted to other users.
Once you enter the PIN and press the # key, the repeater will transmit 3 –1500 Hz tones to indicate that
remote mode was entered. The LCD will also display REMOTE.
Commands
Each commands is composed of a sequence of DTMF tones containing a two-digit command prefix, followed by
a series of command parameters, followed by the # key. The commands are executed once the # key is
received and the calling party de-keys their radio.
De-keying after each command is necessary so that the repeater can respond to each command with a series
if either success or failure tones. A response of four 1500 Hz tones indicates the operation was a success. A
response of four 500 Hz tones indicates the operation failed.

The following pages contain a description of all the available commands. Throughout the descriptions, [0]
through [9] denotes a particular digit that must entered. [N] denotes a single digit that must be entered, the
value of which depends on your choice of settings. A [#] key must be entered after each command sequence
for the system to process the command.
Please note that for all multi-digit settings, you must enter the required number of digits, using zeroes as
placeholders where necessary. For example, if [N][N][N] is required and you want to enter 12, you must
enter 012.
