User manual TECHNOLINE BC-700 QUICK REFERENCE

[. . . ] This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. [. . . ] Set the most commonly used Repeater-Access parameters by referring to "RepeaterAccess" (page 40). The parameters that can be programmed in this memory are marked * in the chart 4. 5. 5 on the next page. By activating the Repeater-Access function these settings are applied to the operating frequency regardless of the VFO/Memory/CALL modes, by temporary replacing the current parameters. After programming is completed, press the FUNC key then press the while MrpALL is displayed to store the edited parameters. Rotate the dial to operate in the Memory mode by selecting channels or press the key for VFO mode operation. You can not delete or convert this memory to other purposes. 26 4. Basic Operation 4. 5. 5 Programmable Parameters in Memory Channels The following parameters can be stored in each of the memory channels. · Frequency · Offset frequency * · Skip channel setting · Shift direction (+/-) * · Busy channel lockout (BCLO) · Tone encoder frequency * · Transmission power (H/M/L) · Tone decoder frequency * · Battery save setting · Tone encoder/decoder setting (TSQ) * · Clock Shift setting · DCS code * · Alphanumeric channel tag · DCS setting * NOTE: Only parameters marked "*" are programmable in Repeater-Access function memory. 4 4. 6 Call-Channel Mode This mode is used to recall a most frequently used memory channel (stored in MC channel) with a single key-touch. " " is displayed on the LCD, and the channel programmed in MC is recalled. Press the key again or the key in the Call mode to return to original operating mode (VFO/memory). IMPORTANT NOTE: · The dial and direct key-entry of frequency/memory channel are blocked in the Call mode. · It is possible to temporary change the offset and CTCSS/DCS related parameters in the Call mode. · The CALL channel reprogramming is possible but it can't be deleted from the memory channel mode. 27 4. Basic Operation 4. 7 Receiving 1. Rotate the dial clockwise/counter-clockwise to change the scan direction. Press any key other than the MONI key to stop scanning. NOTE: Please set the squelch level correctly before scanning, even in the TSQ scanning the normal squelch level adjustment is required to activate this function. 30 5. Useful Functions 5. 1. 3 Setting Skip Channels You can select the memory channels that you wish to skip during the memory-scan. · Press the FUNC key in the Memory mode, and while is displayed, press the key to set the currently selected memory channel as a skip channel. · The 10MHz decimal point appears for memory channels that are set as skip channels. NOTE: The Call channel and Repeater-Access memory are automatically skipped during scanning. 5. 2 Keylock Press the FUNC key, and while is displayed, press the key to set the Keylock function on, and repeat the same to quit. When the Keylock is on, other than the following, all operations are blocked. * PTT * LAMP * MONI * VOL * SQL * Tone-burst * POWER ON/OFF * DTMF tone 5 NOTE: Keylock function can't be activated on the Repeater-Access function memory channel. 5. 3 Tone-Burst This function is to generate an audible tone to access European repeaters mostly used in Europe. · To output the tone-burst tone, press the MONI key while holding down the PTT key. The initial setting for the tone-burst tone is 1750Hz, but this can be changed in the Set mode (page 42). · While transmitting the tone-burst tone, the CTCSS/DCS tone is temporary suspended. 31 5. Useful Functions 5. 4 Naming Memory Channels In the Memory mode, it is possible to display up to 6 alphanumeric characters (Nametag) instead of conventional frequency display. 5. 4. 1 Setting Name-Tag 1. The previous character will stop is displayed press the key. 5 6. Press any key (except MONI, , ) to complete the setting. 5. 4. 2 Using the Channel Name Function · Programmed memory channels are displayed with alphanumeric characters.
