[. . . ] When you receive a call with a matching CTCSS tone, the ringer sounds to alert you to the presence of the incoming call. To activate CTCSS Bell operation, press the [TONE] key until " " appears on the display. Those with a matching tone will cause the transceiver to ring as the squelch opens while the caller transmits. Note that other stations do not need to have the CTCSS Bell function to call you; they can just use standard CTCSS encoding. When you reply to a CTCSS Bell call, you may want to turn off the Bell function, or else the transceiver will ring every time your squelch opens. You can store CTCSS Bell Paging as a "tone mode" in a memory, as you can do with different CTCSS/DCS tone and encode/decode status. 1750 Hz Tone Calling (European Versions) In the European versions of the FT-747GX, press the [P1] (MH-48A6J) or [ACC] (MH42B6JS) button on the microphone to transmit a 1750 Hz Burst Tone for repeater access. If you own a non-European version of the FT-747GX, but plan on visiting a country which requires a 1750 tone for repeater access, you may use menu #20 to set up the [P1] (MH48A6J) or [ACC] (MH-42B6JS) button for 1750 Hz Tone operation. See page 43 for details. FT-747GX Operating Manual 27 OPERATION TRANSMISSION DTMF Tone Generation (MH-48A6J only) The white keys (with numbers, letters, or the Ú/# characters printed on them) on the microphone may be used for manual sending of DTMF tones for autopatch or repeater control use. Just press the PTT switch, and hold it in, while pressing the desired keys. DTMF Autodialer Operation Sixteen DTMF Autodialer memories are available on the FT-747GX. These DTMF Autodialer memories can store up to 16 digits of a telephone number for repeater autopatch or other use. Press and hold the [BAND] key for 1/2 second to activate the "Menu" mode. Always park you car before dialing, in the interest of safety to you, your passengers, and other drivers. FT-747GX Operating Manual 29 OPERATION TRANSMISSION Transmitter Time-Out Timer (TOT) The "Time-Out Timer" (TOT) feature is designed to force the transceiver into the "receive" mode after a preset time period of continuous transmission (the default is 6 minutes). This feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a "dead carrier" for a long period of time in the event that the microphone PTT switch is accidentally locked in the "TX" condition. The Time-Out Timer's "switch-to-receive" time may be adjusted, in one minute increments, for any period between 1 and 30 minutes. To change the default (6 minutes) time setting: Press and hold in the [BAND] key for 1/2 second to activate the "Menu" mode. Press the [BAND] key momentarily to enable changing of this Menu item. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select the desired time interval (between 1 and 6 0 minutes, or "OFF. " 5. Press and hold in the [BAND] key for 1/2 second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. When the TOT feature is activated, " " appears at the bottom of the display, and a timer starts every time you press the PTT switch. About a minute before the selected time-out period has expired (during transmission), " " will begin blinking. Then, if you continue pressing the PTT switch until the selected TOT time interval, transmission will case, and you will hear the alert beeper sound until you release the PTT switch. 30 FT-747GX Operating Manual MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY STORAGE 1.
