DTMF FUNCTIONS
The keys on the keypad also function as DTMF keys;
the 12 keys found on a touch-tone phone plus
4 additional keys (A, B, C, D). This transceiver also
provides 10 dedicated DTMF memory channels. You
can store a DTMF number (16 digits max.) with a
memory name (8 digits max.) in each of the channels
to recall later for speed dialing.
Many repeaters in the U.S.A. and Canada offer a
service called Autopatch. You can access the public
telephone network via such a repeater by sending
DTMF tones. For further information, consult your
local repeater reference.
MANUAL DIALING
Manual Dialing requires only two steps to send DTMF
tones.
1 Press and hold the PTT switch to transmit.
2 While transmitting, press the keys in sequence on
the keypad to send DTMF tones.
The corresponding DTMF tones are
transmitted and monitored through the speaker.
While pressing keys on the keypad, the
transceiver remains in the TX mode. You do
not have to press [PTT] at the same time.
