Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver
channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to
ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open
when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that
you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your
transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you
are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you
to ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own
private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they
set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
■ Operator Selectable Tone (OST)
If a key has been programmed with OST, you can reprogram the QT/DQT
settings on each of your channels.

3 Press the / keys to select your desired tone or code. (Your dealer can
set up to 40 tones/codes.)

After selecting and setting up your desired tone or code, the OST function is
activated. When you have finished operating using OST, press the OST key to
turn the OST function OFF.
