The following are additionally required: • One AD-94. • An AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-119 depending on version). 3 D Rapid charging with the BC-121+AD-94 The optional BC-121 allows up to 6 battery packs to be charged simultaneously. The following are additionally required. • Six AD-94s.
3 BATTERY PACKS BATTERY PACKS 3 ‘ Charging NOTE ‘ Battery case (Option) Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. • Recommended temperature range for charging: +10°C to +40°C (50°F to 140°F). • Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119/BC-121 for rapid charging, BC-137 for regular charging) only. NEVER use other manufacturers’ chargers.
4 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS ‘ General In the following explanations, programmable function names are bracketed, the specific switch used to activate the function depends on programming. D KEYPAD LOCK FUNCTION This function locks access to all programmable switches (except the switch assigned for the lock function). : Push and hold the [LOCK] switch for 1 sec. to toggle the lock function ON and OFF. •“ ”appears while the lock function is ON. • This function may be inhibited on some channels.
4 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS D MONITOR AUDIBLE FUNCTION The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The transceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby: P0 P1 P2 P3 3 1 2 4 5 6 8 9 7 0 All signals are received P0 P1 P2 P3 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 7 0 Only signals containing the proper tone are received Audible condition: This condition mutes audio ONLY when no carrier is present.
4 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS • The emergency call is repeatedly transmitted at pre-programmed intervals. D DISPLAY LIGHTING The function display has 3 backlight conditions. OFF : No backlight is available. AUTO : When any key is pushed, the backlight turns ON for 5 sec. automatically. CONTINUOUS : Backlight turns ON continuously. D SmarTrunk II™ functions This transceiver provides SmarTrunk II™ functions. (Optional UT-105 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board is required.
5 CONVENTIONAL OPERATION CONVENTIONAL OPERATION 5 ‘ Call procedure ‘ Tx code channel selection When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you. Your radio may be programmed for Tx code channel selection.
6 SmarTrunk IITM OPERATION ‘ Basic operation These features are enabled by your Dealer or System operator and may not be available in your system. Contact your Dealer for details. Push the [Bank Up] switch one or more times to select a channel bank for conventional channels or SmarTrunk II™ channels. • Scanning starts when a channel bank for SmarTrunk II™ is selected. D PTT dispatch operation *1 q Push [PTT] once (without dialling) to initiate a dispatch call.
6 SmarTrunk IITM OPERATION D Clear channel alerting If all channels are busy, the transceiver automatically begins searching for an open channel and beeps every ten seconds. When two short beeps (low-pitched, then high-pitched) are heard, a channel is available. Push [M], [M] immediately to redial the last number. *1 D Emergency call *2 Push [0], [M] to initiate an emergency call. • Contact your Dealer for details. D Placing a telephone call *2 Enter the phone number followed by [1], [M].
