Front Panel Operation
This section describes most signaling and other advanced features that are available on the Base Tech II Base
Repeater. The availability of some features is dependent on the programming of the transceiver and installed
options. You may find it worthwhile to discuss these features in detail with your radio supplier to obtain a full
understanding of their benefits.

Keypad Operation
The Keypad is the interface between the user and the Base Tech II Base Repeater. It is used to enable or
disable various functions and to enter the required data for signaling purposes.
The word (5-Tone) or (DTMF) shown after the described feature indicates that the described feature applies to
the particular signaling format.
The following keys are used for the purposes described:
[0] - [9] Entering new channel numbers
Entering the "KILL" password
Entering signaling encoding numbers (5-Tone) (DTMF)
Entering DTMF numbers (DTMF)
[A] Advancing the Base Tech II Base Repeater to the next higher channel
Entering the signaling "A" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)
Encodes the "A" Tone (DTMF)
[B] Advancing the Base Tech II Base Repeater to the next lower channel
Entering the signaling "B" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)
Encodes the "B" Tone (DTMF)
[C] Entering the signaling "C" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)
Encodes the "C" Tone (DTMF)
[D] Entering the signaling "D" tone (5-Tone) (DTMF)
Encodes the "D" Tone (DTMF)

[#] Encodes the signaling numbers that are displayed in the LCD display (5-Tone) (DTMF)
Encodes the "#"-Tone (DTMF)
[CH] Used with two channel numbers [0] - [9] to change the active channel on the Base Tech II
Base Repeater. E.g. [CH]+[9]+[0] will change the active channel to Channel 90 (provided Ch
90 has been programmed into the Base Tech II Base Repeater.
[SCN] Used to place the Base Tech II Base Repeater into the "All-Scan" mode where the Base Tech
II Base Repeater will scan all programmed channels. Pressing the [SCN] key again will
cause the Base Tech II Base Repeater to exit from the "All-Scan" mode.
[MON] Switches the Base Tech II Base Repeater between "Monitor ON" mode and "Monitor OFF"
mode and is used to "Un-mute" the radio when using selective calling (depending on the
programming of the Base Tech II Base Repeater).
