DTMF ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
Radios with keypad-equipped microphones can be
programmed to enable DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple
Frequency) encoding. To send DTMF tones (similar to
the tones used by a standard push-button telephone):
1. Press and hold the PTT switch.
2. Press any of the keys on the microphone’s
keypad.
You will hear a sidetone.
The FCN, PRI, ENT, and CLR keys respond as DTMF
tones A, B, C, and D, respectively.
ANI ENCODING (Analog Mode Only)
ANI encoding (Automatic Number Identification), if
enabled, transmits a sequence of DTMF tones each
time you press the PTT switch. You will hear a
sidetone. Your dealer can program the ANI number to
be sent.
If DTMF and ANI are both enabled, the ANI tone
sequence is transmitted only after the microphone’s
[ENT] key is pressed while the PTT switch is activated.
You will hear a sidetone.
TIME-OUT TIMER
The transmit Time-Out Timer limits the duration of calls
and guards against accidentally locking on the
transmitter and tying up the radio system. Your dealer
can program the duration of the Time-Out Timer (15-
225 seconds, or disabled).
BUSY CHANNEL
If the radio has been programmed for Busy Channel
operation, it will operate in one of the following three
Modes:
• Busy Channel Indication
• Busy Channel Lockout
• Busy Channel Lockout with Override
