CONVENTIONAL ZONES TRANSMITTING 1 Select the desired zone and channel using the selector and the Zone or CH/GID keys. 2 Press the key programmed as Monitor or Squelch Off to check whether or not the channel is free. • If the channel is busy, wait until it becomes free. 3 Press the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT switch to receive. • For best sound quality at the receiving station, hold the microphone approximately 1.5 inches (3 ~ 4 cm) from your mouth. RECEIVING 1 Select the desired zone and channel using the selector and the Zone or CH/GID keys. • Alternatively, you can turn the Scan function on if desired. 2 When you hear a caller's voice, readjust the volume as necessary. QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT) Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/ code which allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel. When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your transceiver. If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver with the same tone or code. 21

Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on

A QT tone/ DQT code
is a
sub-audible tone/ code which allows you to ignore (not hear)
calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch
will only open when a call containing a matching tone or code is

Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard
by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same
channel you are using, squelch will not open and you will not

This allows you to ignore (not hear) these calls.
Although it may seem like you have your own private channel
while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if
