Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide MON SCAN 1. MON button - Press and release the MON button to defeat any programmed CTCSS/DCS and check the radio channel for traffic before transmitting. Press and release the MON button again to return to CTCSS/DCS mode. 2. SCAN button - Press and release the SCAN button to activate scan mode. Depending on the scan mode, the PRI icon (priority scan modes) or SCAN icon (busy scan modes) will be displayed while scan mode is activated.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Setup Unpacking The following items are supplied in the standard package: 5 One transceiver chassis 5 One control head. 5 One microphone. 5 One DC power cord. 5 One mounting bracket or tray. 5 One mounting hardware package. 5 One user’s manual.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Operation Turning the Radio On and Off Press and hold the power/volume knob for two seconds to turn the radio on. The radio will perform a power-on test, which includes lighting all display segments and may sound a single beep when complete. Under certain circumstances, such as after the radio has been reprogrammed, it may also display a check code and sound a triple beep. Rotate the volume knob clockwise to increase the volume.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Carrier Squelch Operation A signal that matches the programmed receive frequency will be heard if it is of sufficient strength to exceed the squelch threshold. An on frequency signal exceeding the squelch threshold level will be indicated by the BUSY icon. CTCSS/DCS Operation CTCSS or DCS signaling adds an additional condition to carrier squelch operation.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 2-tone signaling allows users to receive only calls intended for them. However, more than one radio transmitting at a time will still cause interference. Do not transmit if the BUSY icon is on. Wait until the channel is clear before transmitting. Transmitting to Other Radios Before transmitting, the FCC requires you monitor the channel to make sure it is clear. Transmitting while someone else is transmitting will create interference and disrupt both conversations.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Scanning Channels If you have more than one channel programmed, your Titan radio may be programmed to allow you to scan them. Press and release the SCAN button to activate scan. The radio will begin checking all channels in the scan list for activity. The SCAN icon or PRI icon will be displayed while the radio is scanning. To turn scan off, press and release the SCAN button again. The scan mode and scan list are initially programmed by your dealer or communications coordinator.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Priority Scan Priority scan is available when your dealer has programmed Normal or Modify Scan Selection. Use the menu function to select PRI scan mode. The default user selection is PRI scan mode. If enabled in programming, you may assign a second priority channel before starting scan. Select the desired second priority channel using the channel selector, then press and hold the SCAN button for two seconds.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Busy Scan Busy scan is available when your dealer has programmed Normal or Modify Scan Selection. Use the menu function to select SCN scan mode. The default user selection is PRI scan mode. Press and release SCAN to activate Busy scan. All channels in your scan list will be checked for activity, with no preference given to any channel. While scanning in busy scan mode, the radio will display “---“ and the SCAN icon.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide priority channel. This is the primary difference between Public Safety scan and Priority scan. If activity is detected on a channel, the radio will pause scan and display that channel. While stopped on a non-priority channel, the radio will continue to check for activity on the priority channel(s). This is called priority channel lookback, and the receive audio from the non-priority channel will be briefly interrupted while priority lookback occurs.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide If activity is detected on a priority channel the radio will switch to and display the priority channel. Transmitting While in Scan Mode In Busy scan mode, when PTT is pressed while scanning, the radio will transmit on the last received channel. If no last receive channel has been established since scan was started, transmit will occur on the scan start channel.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide Press and release the A/D button to enter scan add/delete mode. The A/D icon (AX2 on standard head) will be displayed while scan add/delete mode is active. Once you are in add/delete mode, use the channel knob to scroll through the channels. To add a channel to the scan list, or remove a channel that is already in the list, press and release the scan button. The PRI or SCAN icon will toggle on/off indicating scan list status.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 3. Press the channel menu knob again to save the new squelch setting and proceed to next menu item, group selection, GRP. ! The squelch setting is written to EEPROM by pressing the channel/menu knob. If the menu function is left to timeout, the new squelch setting will not be saved, and the radio will revert to the previous settings at power-on. 4. Rotate the channel/menu knob to select a new channel group. 5.
