HOW TO READOUT CURRENT RADIO PROGRAMMING

1. Loosen the (4) captive screws in the front corners of the case. These screws are captive to the housing; to

prevent damaging them, DO NOT remove the screws from the housing.

2. Separate the case front from the case back, leaving the battery connected to the radio. Make sure the unit

has batteries installed.

NOTE:

The voltage of the batteries must be greater than 6 VDC to program properly.

3. Press and release the ON/TRANSMIT button on the front of the Callbox to turn the radio on.

4. Press and release the Program button (See FIG-1 on page 3 for location). The radio will begin to display a

series of four digits; with each digit separated by a hyphen.

5. Write down the four digits. The first two digits indicate the frequency code and the last two digits the tone

code;

see Table 1 and Table 2

on pages 12 and 13.

In this example an RQX-456 is programmed to oper-

ate on the “Brown Dot” frequency of 464.500 MHz (Frequency code “04”) with 100.0 Hz tone (Tone code

“12”).

6. If a 5

digit is displayed, the channel has been programmed for DQC and the last three digits indicate the

DQC code;

see Table 3 on page 13.

In this example an RQX-456 was programmed to operate on the

“Brown Dot” frequency of 464.500 MHz (Frequency code “04”) with a DQC code of “723”).

7. If more than 5 digits are displayed, the radio has been programmed for 2-Tone Paging Decode. The fre-

quency and tone codes will be displayed, followed by a “C”, then the radio will display the 2-Tone paging

code;

see Table 4 on page 13.

In this example an RQX-456 was programmed to operate on the “Brown

Dot” frequency of 464.500 MHz (Frequency code “04”) with 100.0 Hz tone (Tone code “12”) and 2-tone pag-

ing decode frequencies of 330.5 Hz and 569.1 Hz (2-Tone code “91”)

8. If the channel is PC-programmed with any frequency or tone not listed in Table 1, Table 2 or Table 3 on

pages 12 and 13, the radio will sound the error tone on contents read out and display an "E".

. Normal radio operation resumes after the programming information has been displayed.
