6. In the Card Suite Software application, click on the RF Call Box Icon located in the left side of the
screen. In the File pull down menu choose New Archive. Enter an archive description (name) and
customer/site (name), select the method of creating the archive (“Create new unit archive using
default values” or “Create new unit archive by reading a connected unit”). The “default values” are
recommended for initial programming without a previously stored archive. Selecting “default
values” will activate a “Method” pop-up screen. The CB19x-xxx button should be pre-selected

Programmable entry selections:
• Radio or Telephone Mode Select: The RF Call Box can be used for direct communications
with a radio user or for initiating communications with a telephone user via a base radio and
telephone interconnect. Select “Radio” mode for radio-to-radio communication. Select
“Telephone Interconnect” for radio-to-telephone communication using a GAI-Tronics’ Model
PL1877A Telephone Interconnect and a base radio. By default, the Call Box is in “Radio” mode.
• Go Ahead Tone Enable: Enables or disables the beep tone generated by the RF Call Box that
directs the Call Box user to begin speaking. Uncheck this box if the Call Box’s radio transceiver
produces a “Proceed to talk” tone. By default, this tone is enabled.
• Go Ahead Tone Volume: After setting the Speaker Volume adjust potentiometer (R30) and
testing for the desired voice volume, use this volume adjust setting to change the volume of the
beep tone generated by the Call Box that directs the Call Box user to begin speaking.
• ANI Enable (radio operation only): Enables the ability to enter a DTMF ANI code that is
transmitted by the Call Box for the caller identification.
