Kenwood RC-D710 - Manual (Page 62)

WIRELESS OPERATION
If you also have a compatible Kenwood handy transceiver, you may use it as a remote control for this mobile transceiver.
You will control one band on the mobile while sending DTMF tones to the other band from the handheld. This function is
useful, for example, when you want to control the mobile from a location outside your vehicle.
Note:
u
As a remote control, you can also use a handy transceiver which does not have a remote control function but a DTMF function. However, you
must manually send DTMF tones for control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in “PREPARATION”.
u The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440 MHz band.
PREPARATION
Let us assume band A (VHF) of the mobile transceiver will
be controlled.
On the handy transceiver:
1 Program a 3-digit secret number.
• For the programming method, see the instruction manual
for the handheld.
2 Select the transmit frequency on the UHF band.
3 Make the handheld enter Remote Control mode.
• For the method, see the instruction manual for the
handheld. If not described, consult your dealer.
On the mobile transceiver:
4 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 522.
5 Set the ID code to the same secret number you set on
the handy transceiver.
6 Select the receive frequency on band B (UHF).
• Match this frequency with the transmit frequency on the
handheld.
7 Select band A (VHF) as the TX band or Control band.
8 To cause the mobile to send a control acknowledgment
to the handheld, enter Menu 523 and set it to ON.
• DTMF tones which represent the secret number will be
used as an acknowledgment.
9 Turn the transceiver power OFF.
10 Press [REV] + Power ON to enter Remote Control
mode.
• The and icons appear on the display.
• To exit Remote Control operation, turn the transceiver
power OFF, then press [REV] + Power ON again.
CONTROL OPERATION
While in Remote Control mode, the DTMF keys of the
handheld will function as shown in the table below.
Each time you press the desired key, the handheld
will automatically enter transmit mode and send the
corresponding command to the mobile.
Note: If using a handheld without a remote control function, manually
send “AXXX#YA#” where “XXX” is a 3-digit secret number and “Y” is
a single-digit control command. If you do not add ”A#” to the end, you
can skip sending “AXXX#” next time; however, the mobile may be
accidentally controlled by other stations.
