FTM-10R Operating Manual
Whenever you push the PTT switch, or every 25 seconds after ARTS is activated, your
radio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about 1 second.
If the other radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will
show “IN.RNG” as opposed to the out of range display “OUT.RNG” in which ARTS
operation begins.
Whether you talk or not, the polling every 25 seconds will continue until you de-activate
ARTS. When ARTS is de-activated, DCS will also be deactivated (if you were not using
it previously in non- ARTS operation).
If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense
that no signal has been received, three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to
“OUT.RNG.” If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display
will change back to the “IN.RNG” indication.
During ARTS operation, your operating frequency will continue to be displayed, but no
changes may be made to it or other settings; you must terminate ARTS in order to
resume normal operation. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of
contact due to channel change, etc.
1. Assign the ARTS feature to the microphone’s [PGM] key, per the discussion on
page ??.
2. Set your radio and the other radio(s) to the same DCS code number, per the
discussion on page ??.
3. Press the microphone’s [PGM] key momentarily. You will observe the “OUT.RNG”
display on the LCD. The ARTS operation has now commenced.
4. Every 25 seconds, your radio will transmit a “polling” call to the other station.
When that station responds with its own ARTS polling signal, the display will
change to “IN.RNG” to confirm that the other station’s polling code was received in
response to yours.
5. Press the microphone’s [PGM] key momentarily to exit ARTS operation and resume
normal functioning of the transceiver.
DTMF Operation (Requires the optional MH-68A6J)
The optional MH-68A6J Microphone’s 16-button keypad allows easy DTMF dialing for
autopatch, repeater control, or Internet-link access purposes. Besides numerical digits
[0] through [9], the keypad includes the [*] and [#] digits, plus [A], [B], [C], and [D] tones
often used for repeater control.
