4.Basic Operation

4. Basic Operation

4.1 Turning On the Power

Hold the key down for a second. key down until To turn off the power, hold the the display turns off.
4.2 Adjusting the Audio Output (Volume)
There are 21 audio output levels (00~20). The default setting is level 00. There is no audio output at this status. 1. Press the key. The level is displayed on the LCD. 2. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease the level. As the setting value increases, the audio becomes louder. 3. Press any key except for the MONI key or just leave it for 5 seconds to automatically complete the setting.
4.3 Adjusting the Squelch
Squelch is a function that eliminates the noise when no signals are being received. There are 10 squelch levels (00~10). The default setting is Level 00. 1. Press the key. The squelch level is displayed on the LCD. 2. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease the squelch level. Set to the lowest level that the noise is cut. 3. Press any key except for the MONI key or just leave it for 5 seconds to automatically complete the setting.
4.4 Setting the Frequency in the VFO Mode
The factory default of this unit is the VFO mode. The VFO mode allows you to change the frequency and operating parameters by using the dial and key operations.
4.4.1 Setting the Frequency To Select the VFO Mode
The key switches between the VFO and Memory mode each time the key is pressed. " " is displayed on the LCD when the unit is in the Memory mode.
Selecting the Operating Frequency
Rotate the dial clockwise to increase the frequency by one tuning step. Rotate the dial counter-clockwise to decrease it by one tuning step.
To Quickly Change the Frequency
Press the FUNC key, and while is displayed on the screen, rotate the dial to increase or decrease (depending on the direction of rotation) the frequency by 1MHz order.

Entry from the Keypad

Use the numeric keys to set the frequency. It accepts valid numbers only. ie: 145.210 MHz 1. Input the 100MHz digit by pressing 2. Input the 10MHz digit by pressing 3. Input the 1MHz digit by pressing 4. Input the 100kHz digit by pressing 5. Input the 10kHz digit by pressing Depending on the tuning step, entry may be required to the 1kHz digit. The relationship between the tuning step and entry-completion digit is shown in the following chart. The setting will be completed automatically when the last digit is correctly entered and a high-tone beep sounds.

6.1.4 Tone Squelch Operation
The squelch unmutes only when the signal with the same decoding-setting tone is received.

6.2 DCS

6.2.1 Setting the DCS
1. Press the FUNC key, and while is displayed on the LCD, press the key. " " is displayed on the LCD, and the DCS code is displayed. The initial setting is 023. Each time you press the key, the display switches between:

DCS 023 DCS-OF

2. Press any key other than the MONI key to complete the setting. Observe that " " is displayed.
6.2.2 Changing the DCS Code
1. Rotate the dial in DCS Code Setting mode (while " " is displayed). 2. Press any key other than the MONI key to complete the setting. The same DCS code is set for ENC/DEC, differential setting isn't available. One of the following 104 DCS codes can be selected. 624 731

6.2.3 Switching Off DCS

Select DCS-OF in the DCS Code Setting mode to turn it off.

6.2.4 DCS Operation

The squelch unmutes only when the unit receives the matching code.
6.2.5 DET Mode in DCS Operation DET Setting
If the DET mode in DCS operation is preferred, while in the DCS Code Setting mode and DCS-OF is displayed, rotate the dial to eliminate the hyphen (DCS OF) then proceed with the rest of setting sequence. DET on DCS function stands for Detect-Only mode. In DCS operation, the TX signal carries a digital code. The RX side, just like TSQ, detects this tone stream and determines the squelch operation. This DCS code stream is transmitted all the way through the communication like a CTCSS tone and it is necessary for receiver to correctly and CONTINUOUSLY receive this DCS stream to hold the squelch open, otherwise the CPU thinks that the signal is unwanted and it closes the squelch. But due to noise or weak signal strength etc, sometimes it is difficult to continuously receive a DCS stream. By activating DET, the receiver opens the squelch when the first corresponding DCS stream is received, then thereafter, regardless of the status of the DCS codes, the DCS squelch remains opened.

Advantage of DET

It enables DCS squelch operation even in poorer signal conditions.

Disadvantage of DET

When it is activated, suppose 2 stations are sharing the same channel and using the DCS selective-calling technique and transmitting at the same time. After station A with its corresponding DCS is gone, you may still hear station B even his DCS code is different from A, although he can't open your DCS squelch by his signal alone.

6.4.3 Redial

This function generates the last DTMF tones used by the unit. 1. Press the key while the unit is receiving. 2. Press the key. The last DTMF tones (either the auto dialer code or a manually input DTMF code) is automatically generated from the speaker. The unit doesn't transmit the tones in this operation. 3. To transmit, press the FUNC key while pressing the PTT key, then the key.
Please note that you must operate the DTMF tones at least once to proceed above.

7.Special Functions

7. Special Functions

7.1 ATT (Attenuator)

Use this function when the receiving signal is interfered by strong signals of nearby channels. When you activate this function, the transceiver attenuates the receiving sensitivity. 1. Press the FUNC key, and while is displayed on the LCD, press the key. 2. Rotate the dial to change the ATT level. There are 2 levels; ATT-1 attenuates the received signal by 10dB and ATT-2 does 20dB. Press any key other than the or MONI key to complete setting. Observe that " " appears on the display.

ATT-1 ATT-2

Press the key in the setting sequence to display "ATT-OFF" then press any key other than the or MONI key to turn off this function. Observe that " " disappears from the display.

7.2 Battery Refresh

Repeating improper recharge of the Ni-MH battery pack may cause so-called the "memory effect" that the battery holds less charge. To avoid this, it is recommended to fully discharge the battery pack then full charge. This function helps discharging the battery pack. Please remove the unit from a charger or a DC cable before this operation. 1. Activate the Keylock (page 32). 2. Press the key twice, the key twice, the key twice and then the key twice. "DISCHG" will be displayed on the LCD, and the battery-refresh starts.
3. To cancel this operation, just turn off the unit, turn it on again, then unlock the Keylock function. 4. The unit will turn off automatically when finished the refresh.
The time to refresh totally depends on the remaining charge of the battery pack. To discharge the fully-charged EBP-65 may take up to approx. 7 hours. When this function is on, the backlight and the keys are illuminated, and noise from the speaker can be heard. Before storing the rechargeable battery pack for an extended period of time, please full-charge it after this operation.

7.3 Repeater-Access

1. Press the FUNC key, and while is displayed on the LCD, press the key. 2. Preset parameters on the Repeater-Access function memory will be effective at any frequency. Repeater-Access parameters have priorities over the parameters programmed in the VFO/memory/CALL modes.
