Page 13: Common Id (Digital)
COMMON ID (DIGITAL) Common ID is a signaling system designed for Digital communications. When a channel is setup with a Common ID, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching Common ID is received. If a call containing a different Common ID is made on the same channel you are using, you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from another parties who are using the same channel. - Page 14 To change the Common ID settings: Enter the Channel Menu mode {p.10}. Press the button to select “ ”. Press the Menu button then press the button to select your desired Common ID. • The values range from 1 to 255. • If you set Common ID to 255, you can call to all Common ID transceivers.

Page 30: Vox Setup
VOX SETUP Note: ◆ To use the VOX function, you need to set the VOX function to "ON" in Channel Menu mode {p.17}. VOX TYPE Normal: When the voice level to the microphone is higher than the reference level (VOX Gain Level), the transceiver automatically starts transmission. Semi-VOX: Transmission is started by pressing PTT switch and transmission continues even after PTT switch is released. - Page 31 VOX GAIN LEVEL With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain level such that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient noise.
- Page 32 VOX DELAY TIME If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after you stop speaking, the end of your message may not be transmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time that allows your entire message to be transmitted. Enter the Function Setting mode {p.20}.

Page 38: Scan
SCAN Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks signals on each channel in the current zone and only stops if a signal is present. If the QT/ DQT/ Common ID matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. - Page 39 REVERT CHANNEL The revert channel is the channel from which you start scanning. For example, if you are on channel 1 when you begin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1. During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically select the transceiver’s revert channel (in the above example, channel 1) and you will begin transmitting.
