PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS The , , , , S, A, , and keys can be programmed with the functions listed below. Ask your dealer for details on these functions.
BASIC OPERATIONS SWITCHING POWER ON/ OFF Press the switch to switch the transceiver ON. • A beep sounds. • If programmed, the TK-7160/ TK-8160 transceiver will momentarily display an 8-character power-on message. • If the Transceiver Password function is programmed, “ ” (TK-7160/ TK-8160) or “ ” (TK-7162/ TK-8162) will appear on the display when the power is turned ON. Refer to “Transceiver Password”, below. Press the switch again to switch the transceiver OFF.
SELECTING A ZONE AND CHANNEL On TK-7160/ TK-8160 transceivers, select the desired zone using the keys programmed as Zone Up and Zone Down. Select the desired channel using the keys programmed as Channel Up and Channel Down. On TK-7160/ TK-8160 transceivers, names of up to 8 characters in length can be programmed for channels. To toggle the display between the channel name and the zone-channel number, press the key programmed as Display Character. TRANSMITTING 1 Select your desired zone and channel (above).
SCAN If the Scan function is programmed, Conventional zones or channels can be scanned by pressing the key programmed as Scan. Scan can be used as either Single Scan or Multi Scan. • Single Scan monitors only the channels of the currently selected zone, which have been added to the Scan list. If set up to scan the Priority channel, the Priority channel will be scanned even if it is not within the currently selected zone.
ADD TO SCAN/ DELETE FROM SCAN Depending on how your transceiver has been set up, a key may have been programmed with the Scan Del/Add function. This function allows you to scan only those channels which you desire. To add or remove a channel to/from the Scan list, select the desired channel then press the Scan Del/Add key. To temporarily remove a channel from the Scan list, during Scan, press the Scan Del/Add key while Scan is paused on the undesired channel.
DTMF CALLS Note: To make DTMF calls, you must use an optional microphone with a DTMF keypad. STORE & SEND (TK-7160/ TK-8160 ONLY) 1 Enter the desired digits on the microphone keypad. • You can enter a maximum of 16 digits (0 ~ 9, A ~ D, , and #). • The digits appear on the display as you enter them. • If Keypad Auto-PTT is enabled by your dealer, this method of entering a string of digits will not function. Refer to “MANUAL DIALING”, below. 2 Press the PTT switch to transmit the entered digits.
DIALING STORED DTMF NUMBERS 1 Press the microphone key. • “ ” (TK-7160/ TK-8160) or “ ” (TK-7162/ TK-8162) appears on the display. 2 Enter the desired memory location number (1 ~ 9). • The digits stored in the selected location number appear on the display. • To cancel, press any key other than the PTT switch. 3 Press the PTT switch. • If programmed by your dealer, no DTMF tone will sound when “D” is transmitted. “D” can be used for a pause duration. The pause duration is programmed by your dealer.
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.
CODE SQUELCH (ID CODE) Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns the transceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the DTMF ID code that has been set up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct code will not be heard. Consequently, you can communicate with a specific party without listening to other parties using the same channel. Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver.
SELECTIVE CALL (TK-7160/ TK-8160 ONLY) Selective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar to Code Squelch {page 17}. The differences from Code Squelch are: • You can send or receive Status codes containing up to 5 digits. • Selective Call opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives a predetermined DTMF code in the correct sequence (3-digit or 4-digit ID code — 1-digit Intermediate code — Status code of up to 5 digits).
FleetSync: ALPHANUMERIC 2-WAY PAGING FUNCTION FleetSync is an Alphanumeric 2-way Paging Function and is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation. FleetSync enables a variety of paging functions on your transceiver, some of which depend on dealer programming. The TK-7162/ TK-8162 only has access to the PTT ID function of the FleetSync feature. Note: Your transceiver functions include either FleetSync or 5-tone Signaling {page 22}, but not both.
STATUS MESSAGE (TK-7160/ TK-8160 ONLY) You can send and receive 2-digit Status messages which may be decided in your talk group. Messages can contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Status messages range from 10 to 99 (80 ~ 99 are reserved for special messages). A maximum of 5 received messages can be stored in the stack memory of your transceiver. These saved messages can be reviewed after reception.
■ Reviewing Messages in the Stack Memory 1 Press and hold the key programmed as Selcall, Status, or Selcall + Status for 1 second to access the stack memory. • The last received message is displayed with the message number. 2 Press the keys to select your desired message. • Press and hold the S or key to toggle between the message/ call ID and the channel name of the received message. 3 Press the S key to return to normal operation. • To delete the selected message, press the A or # key.
5-TONE SIGNALING 5-tone Signaling is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives the 5 tones programmed in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct tones will not be heard. Note: Your transceiver functions include either 5-tone Signaling or FleetSync {page 19}, but not both. MY ID Your dealer can program an ID number for your transceiver, to identify you to other parties when you make a call.
RECEIVING A SELCALL When you receive a signal containing the correct tones, squelch opens and you will hear the call. • The LED indicator flashes orange. • To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor. • Your dealer can program the Monitor function to close again after a specific time period elapses. • If Transpond for 5-tone Signaling is programmed, an acknowledgement signal is returned to the calling station.
EMERGENCY OPERATION If your transceiver has been programmed with the Emergency function, you can make emergency calls. 1 Press and hold the key programmed as Emergency. • Depending on the delay time programmed into your transceiver, the length of time you must hold the Emergency key will vary. • When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, the transceiver will change to the Emergency channel and begin transmitting based on how the transceiver is set up by your dealer.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS TALK AROUND You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power failure, etc.). During such an occurence, you can continue communication by using the Talk Around feature if it has been programmed by your dealer. Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers without the use of a repeater. However, if the station you want to contact is too far away, or there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact the station.
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS (TK-7160/ TK-8160 ONLY) You can toggle the display brightness between high and low by pressing the key programmed as LCD Brightness. • The default brightness level is set to high. DIRECT CHANNEL On TK-7160/ TK-8160 transceivers, press the key programmed as Direct ZoneChannel to immediately select the lowest channel of the lowest zone. On TK-7162/ TK-8162 transceivers, press the key programmed as Direct CH to immediately select the lowest channel.
VOICE SCRAMBLER Note: There are 2 options for using the scrambler. Your dealer can activate or deactivate the built-in scrambler function of the transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler board to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details. Although the built-in scrambler function does not offer complete privacy with your calls, it does prevent others from easily listening in on your calls.
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT) The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch. The default TOT duration is 1 minute. Your dealer can set the duration to last from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
