3 CONVENTIONAL OPERATION D Transmitting notes • Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions: - The channel is in mute condition ('Inaudible' condition; " " does not appear). - Channel is busy. - Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received. - The selected channel is a 'receive only' channel. • Time-out timer After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting. • Penalty timer Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer. D TX code channel selection If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] assigned to it, indication can be toggled between the operating channel number (or name) and TX code channel number (or name). When the TX code channel number (or name) is displayed, the [ ]/[ ] key selects the TX code channel. TO SELECT A TX CHANNEL: q Push [TX Code CH Select]- a TX code channel appears. w Push [ ]/[ ] to select the desired TX code channel. e Push [Call] (or [PTT] during MSK operation) to transmit the se- lected TX code. r Push [TX Code CH Select] again to return to the operating chan- nel number indication. FOR TX CODE CHANNEL TYPE: If the transceiver has a [TX Code CH Up] or [TX Code CH Down] key assignment, the programmed TX code channel can be selected directly. 15 3 CONVENTIONAL OPERATION D TX code number edit (PMR or BIIS PMR operation only) If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] or [TX Code Enter] as- signed to it, TX code contents can be edited within the allowable digits. 3 TO EDIT A TX CODE VIA [TX CODE CH SELECT] KEY: q Push [TX Code CH Select] to enter the TX code channel selec- tion mode. • Select the desired channel using [ ]/[ ] if necessary. w Push [TX Code CH Select] for 1 sec. to enter the TX code edit mode. e Push [TX Code CH Select] to select the desired digit to be edited. r Set the desired digit using [ ]/[ ]/[TX Code CH Up]/[TX Code CH Down]. t Push [TX Code CH Select] to set the digit. The editable digit will move to the right automatically. y Repeat r and t to input all allowable digits. u Push [Call] or [PTT] to transmit the selected TX code. TO EDIT A TX CODE VIA [TX CODE ENTER] KEY: q Select the desired TX code channel via [TX Code CH Up]/[TX Code CH Down]. w Push [TX Code Enter] to enter the TX code edit mode. e Push [TX Code Enter] to select the desired digit to be edited. r Set the desired digit using [ ]/[ ]/[TX Code CH Up]/[TX Code CH Down]. t Push [TX Code Enter] to set the digit. The editable digit will move to the right automatically. y Repeat r and t to input all allowable digits. u Push [Call] or [PTT] to transmit the selected TX code. 16
