Enhanced System Features
Phone Patch Mode
The C-5000 can patch into the phone system using both DTMF and pulse dialing. This requires
equipment on the ground, such as a transceiver and an interface box, to connect the base station radio to
the telephone lines. This is NOT a cellular phone.
From the HOME PAGE, select the radio and channel. Press the MENU button. The following display
page will appear.

Press the UPPER SOFT KEY to select DTMF dialing, or the LOWER SOFT KEY to select pulse
dialing. In either case, the next display page will appear, and will look similar to the following. This

Input the digits you want to dial using the keypad. Alpha characters can be input by turning the
VALUE knob until the desired character is displayed, then pressing the ENTER button. Pressing the
ENTER button while a blank is displayed inputs a ½ second delay. As soon as you begin input, the
display will change slightly. The following depicts a sample entry.

Simulcast Operation

different frequencies. At the same time, the Main RT systems and Guard Receivers are able to receive
on their currently selected channels. You can establish simulcast operation as follows.
Ensure you are on the HOME PAGE.
