XII. SP-200K Series Operation, continued
To Transmit, continued
Standard Transmit: Press the monitor button (second button below the
P-T-T bar) and check the color of the radio's top-panel LED. It will glow
orange if RF activity is present; it will not be illuminated if the radio indicates
a "clear" channel.
The following comments are intended to be used as a guide only, due to
the variable nature of the software and radio features.
Transmit a fixed Selcall address: A short or long press on a Call Key, either
Key 1 or Key 2 depending on set-up. Briefly the LED on the top panel
illuminates red. Conversation can begin by pressing the P-T-T button.
Transmit a variable Selcall address: A variable Selcall address may be
selected using the numerical keys (0 - 9). The number of variable digits will
be determined at programming. Pressing the * key generates the default
address (Call 1) with appended variable digits. Pressing the # key generates
the default address (Call 2) with appended variable digits.
At power-up, the radio will default to Selcall mode.
To Transmit DTMF: The radio can be programmed for DTMF transmission
only, or can be programmed to toggle between Selcall and DTMF. If
programmed with this "toggle keypad" mode, press the "toggle keypad"
key (defined at programming stage) and press the DTMF keys to transmit.
Pressing the "toggle keypad" key once more will return the keypad to Selcall
mode. In DTMF mode only, press the DTMF keys to transmit.
With all of the above features, when the channel is "clear", hold the radio
microphone area approximately 2 inches from your mouth, keeping the
antenna vertical and away from face or eyes. Press and hold the P-T-T bar
on the side of the radio, and begin speaking in a clear, normal tone. Release
the P-T-T bar when you have finished speaking.
CAUTION: Operation of the transmitter without a proper antenna installed
may result in permanent damage to the radio.
NOTE: The radio's LED will glow red continuously when you have the P-T-T
bar pressed and are transmitting. If the red LED starts "flashing", the battery
needs to be recharged and transmission will cease. Recharge the battery
fully before attempting more than one transmission.
