VMPS (Voice Mail Paging System)The DTMF Paging and Automatic Recording ca-pability of the FTT-12 keypad may be utilized toallow the storage of “Voice Mail” in an FT-50Rwhich is so equipped. A message of up to 20seconds in length may be stored in your radio forlater recall.To use this system, two conditions must be met:I. The calling station must know your private orgroup DTMF paging ID code (see page 37).II. Your transceiver must have DTMF paging orTrigger paging activated (see page 38 - 40).To set up for VMPS operation:CT]1 First, ensure that your private paging ID code isstored in DTMF Code memory P (~~-~z??j).CJ If you haven’t already done so, partition thevoice memory so as to set up the desired VoiceMail time limit. Without this partitioning, the full20 seconds of recording time will be available.IMPORTANT !ARTS, VMPS, and the auto-response modes forDTMF paging transmit without operator presence.Ensure this type of operation is legal in your coun-try before using it, and adhere to any or all regula-tions regarding timed station identification (CW ID).ri Activate DTMF paging or Trigger pagingrj Hold the Knob for l/2 second, then release it andturn it to display PRG E - 7 1 - .n Press the knob momentarily, then turn it to selectR1”7 f;G . Press the Knob again, turn it to select on,then press the PTT switch to exit.rl Press ?I and then hold I$~S for l/2 second;RR EE will appear on the left side of the display,and the receiving frequency at the right.When a station bearing the correct DTMF pagingcode calls your FT+OR, the alert ringer of yourradio will sound, and the receiver squelch willopen. Automatic off-the-air recording will thencommence (nPEC ), storing until the recordingpartition time limit has been reached, or until theother station stops transmitting (whichever comesfirst). You may now play back the stored message(from register PLY 1) when you return to yourtransceiver. The blinking DTMF code indicator onthe right-hand side of the display provides a visualindication that a message has come in during yourabsence.Only one Voice Mail message may be stored atany time, and newer messages will overwrite pre-vious ones.
