Wireless Operation (K Type Models Only); Reparation; Control Operation - Kenwood TM-D710A (K type) Instruction Manual

If you also have a compatible Kenwood handy transceiver, you may use it as a remote control for this mobile transceiver.
You will control one band on the mobile while sending DTMF tones to the other band from the handheld. This function is
useful, for example, when you want to control the mobile from a location outside your vehicle.
Note:
◆ As a remote control, you can also use a handy transceiver which does not have a remote control function but a DTMF function. However, you
must manually send DTMF tones for control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in "PREPARATION".
◆ The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440 MHz band.

CONTROL OPERATION

While in Remote Control mode, the DTMF keys of the
handheld will function as shown in the table below.
Each time you press the desired key, the handheld
will automatically enter transmit mode and send the
corresponding command to the mobile.
Note: If using a handheld without a remote control function, manually
send "AXXX#YA#" where "XXX" is a 3-digit secret number and "Y" is
a single-digit control command. If you do not add "A#" to the end, you
can skip sending "AXXX#" next time; however, the mobile may be
accidentally controlled by other stations.
