5210POCKET BEEP AND TONE SQUELCH10z Set the operating frequency.x Program the CTCSS tone frequency or DTCScode in set mode.➥ Push [SET B(D-OFF)] to enter set mode.➥ Push [ SET B(D-OFF)] or [ ENT C(T-OFF)]several times until “CT” for tone squelch or“DT” for DTCS squelch appears.• “T SQL” blinks when tone squelch (“CT”), or“DTCS” blinks when DTCS squelch (“DT”) isselected.➥ Push [Y]/[Z] to select the desired tone fre-quency or DTCS code.➥ Push [ SET B(D-OFF)] to select “DTP” thenpush [Y]/[Z] to select the DTCS polarity.➥ Push [CLR A(MW)] to exit set mode.c Push [FUNC] then push [DUP+ 8(TSQLS)]or [ MID 5(DTCSS)] to turn ON the pocketbeep with tone squelch or DTCS squelch, re-spectively.v When a signal with the matched tone is re-ceived, the transceiver emits beep tones for30 sec. and blinks “S.”b Push [PTT] to answer or push [ CLR A(MW)] tostop the beeps and blinking.• “S” disappears and cancels the pocket beepfunction automatically.n To cancel the tone squelch or DTCS squelchfunction, push [FUNC] then [ ENT C(T-OFF)].• “T SQL” or “DTCS” disappearsD Available tone frequency listNOTE: The transceiver has 50 tone frequencies and con-sequently their spacing is narrow compared to units having38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receiveinterference from adjacent tone frequencies.To prevent interference from adjacent tone frequencies,using the frequencies as in the following table, is recom-mended.D Calling a waiting station using pocket beepA subaudible tone matched with the station’s CTCSS tone fre-quency or 3-digit DTCS code with polarity is necessary.
