BASIC OPERATION
■ Call procedure
When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selec-
tive calling system which allows you to call specific station(s)
only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
q Select the desired TX code channel or 2/5-tone code
according to your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to pgs. 13 or 14 for selection.
w Push the call key (assigned to one of the dealer pro-
grammable keys: [Up], [Down], [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3],
[Emergency] and [Monitor]) or [PTT].
e After transmitting a 2/5-tone code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
