OUT-OF
-RANGE ALERT
Your GXT5000 has a OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT function to indicate
whether two GXT5000 radios are within usable range. To turn on the OUT-
OF-RANGE ALERT function press the MENU button until an “oU” icon
appears on the display, and to the right an “oF” icon appear. Select “on” by
pressing the buttons. To confirm, press the PTT button or press MENU
button to move to the next feature setting.
The OUT-RANGE ALERT setting of both the transmitting and
receiving radios must be on for this function to work properly.
When the OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT function is on, the radio will
automatically transmit an OUT-OF-RANGE code every 3 minutes. If
another GXT5000 radio (with OUT-OF-RANGE function on and within
usable range) receives the tone, it will automatically reply by sending a
confirmation code to the transmitting radio. This cycle will continue every 3
minutes.
If the transmitting radio does not receive a confirmation code (the receiving
GXT5000 radio’s OUT-OF-RANGE function is off and/or outside its usable
range) then the transmitting GXT5000 Series radio will “beep” every 20
seconds and the ANTENNA icon will continue to blink until it receives a
correct confirmation code.
If the GXT5000 beep and tone is disabled (see SILENT OPERATION) and
it is outside the usable range, then it will not “beep” every 20 seconds and
only the ANTENNA icon will continue to blink until it receives a correct
confirmation code.
To turn off the OUT-OF-RANGE ALERT function press the MENU button
until an “oU” icon appears on the display, and to the right an “on” icon
appear. Select “oF” by pressing the buttons.
To confirm, press the PTT button or press MENU button to move to the next
feature setting.
DUAL WATCH FUNCTION
Your GXT5000 Series has a DUAL WATCH function, to enable user to
scan 2 channels for any activity. The first channel will be the current
channel setting and the second channel will be the selected channel on
the MENU.
To turn the DUAL WATCH on, press the MENU button until the “DW” icon
appears blinking on the left of the display, while the “oF” icon appears on
the display. Select the second channel by pressing the button. Press
again the MENU and the button to choose the CTCSS Privacy Code
(oF ~ 38), or press again the MENU and button to set the DCS Privacy
Code (oF~83).
