PAGING DECODE OPERATION – ANALOG CHANNELS

To use Paging Decode an analog base radio channel must be programmed for 2-Tone, DTMF or Selcall Paging Decode. The radio

does not operate with Paging Decode as it is received from the factory.

To activate Paging Decode you must first select an analog radio channel that has been programmed for Paging Decode. The

factory default setting will automatically activate Paging Decode any time the Paging Decode channel is selected.

When the base radio decodes an incoming Paging signal it will emit a “ring’ tone similar to a telephone and the display will show

“Call” to indicate that a call has been received. You can now proceed with normal two-way communication until the Paging Decode

feature has been reset. The “ring” tone will sound every time a Paging signal is decoded.

To reset Paging Decode – After a Paging Code has been successfully decoded it will not be required for

subsequent received signals until it has been reset. This can be done by programming a timed automatic reset,

or by resetting with the P2 Button. Press and release the P2 Button until “Paging Reset” appears on the display.

An Analog Paging Decode channel can be programmed to:

• Decode 2-Tone, DTMF or Selcall.

• Require correct QC/DQC subtone for Paging Decode.

• Automatically set Paging Decode mode whenever the channel is selected.

• Automatically reset if a Paging Decode is not answered within 15 seconds.

• Automatically place the receiver into carrier squelch “monitor” mode whenever a Paging code has been decoded.

• Send a transpond tone back to the transmitting station to confirm that the Paging signal has been received.

• Decode an All Call page.

• Decode a Group Call page (If set for 2-Tone paging, Group Call is when the first tone is sent for an extended period of time).

P1 OPERATION – ANALOG CHANNELS

The P1 button is used to select Analog Contacts that can be transmitted to selectively signal other radios or radio operated devices.

The RBS-Series radio can be programmed with 10 2-Tone, DTMF or Selcall Analog Contacts. Any number of the 10 Analog

contacts can be assigned to the P1 button on a per-channel basis.

 Press and release the P1 BUTTON until the desired Analog Contact appears on the display.

 With the Analog Contact name showing on the display, press the PTT button and the radio transmits the

selected Analog Contact code.

 If you continue to hold the PTT button down, the transmitter will remain active and voice communications

can be made after the Analog Contact code has been sent.

 The Analog Contact code will be heard on the radio speaker as it is being sent.

 Sending the Analog Contact code is a one-time occurrence, to resend an Analog Contact code it must again

be selected with the P1 BUTTON.

 This feature is only available on Analog channels.
