The OUTPOST

Callbox can be field programmed for a specific number of features that include companding,

GateGuard

, Call Tone, and speaker volume level. Refer to Table 5 below for the single digit codes available for field

programming. In our example we will program an RQX-456 for Call Tone operation.

NOTE: Field programming frequency and tone codes will turn companding and GateGuard

OFF. If companding or

GateGuard

operation is required, the single-digit Radio Feature code must be re-programmed after field programming

of the frequency and tone codes.

1. Refer to Table 5

below to determine the single-digit code used to enable Call Tone.

2. Loosen the (4) captive screws in the front corners of the case. These screws are captive to the

housing; to prevent damaging them, DO NOT remove the screws from the housing.

3. Separate the case front from the case back, leaving the batteries connected to the radio.

Make sure the unit has batteries installed.

NOTE: The voltage of the batteries must be greater than 6 VDC to program properly.

4. Press and release the ON/PTT button on the front of the unit to turn the radio on.

5. Press and HOLD the Program Button (See FIG-3 on page 6 for location). A "P" will appear on

the program display as you enter program mode and the radio will beep rapidly.

6. Release the program button after the beeping has stopped. The radio will emit a triple beep

indicating that the radio is in program mode and a hyphen will appear on the program display.

7. Enter the single-digit code by clicking the Program button until the program display shows the

desired number. Pause—the radio will sound a low tone and show a hyphen across the center

of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit.

8. Press and release the ON/PTT button to save your programming. A triple beep will sound to

indicate that programming was successful and a hyphen will appear on the program display.

The radio is now ready for another program entry.

NOTE: An error tone will sound if you attempt to save an incorrect code, an "E" will appear on

the display. Check the digits you are attempting to enter, then re-enter.

9. Once you have made your final program entry, press the ON/PTT button a final time to turn

the radio off. Turn the radio back on for normal operation.
