PAGE CODE AND REPEATERS
Pressing [PTT] transmits the Page code after a short
delay. This delay helps avoid losing Page data when
using repeaters with long response times that may
miss receiving a portion of the Page code.
The delay time is 250 ms during simplex operation.
When using a transmit offset or a split frequency, you
can change 350 ms (default) to 550 ms via Menu B,
No. 65 {page 14}.
Note: When a repeater ID and a Page code are transmitted at the
same time, Page may not function.

LOCKING-OUT CODES
This function is useful if you wish to inhibit the
transceiver from receiving specific Group Page codes.
Page Lock-out does not inhibit the transceiver from
receiving stations calling your individual Station code.
Although the codes are locked-out from the receiver,
the transmitter still transmits a Page on the locked-out
channels.
Lock-out Page codes with the following procedure.
1 Press [F], [REV] to activate Code Select.
2 Turn the Alternate Tuning control to select the
Page memory that contains the Page code that
you want to lock-out.
3 Press [MR].
• A "star" appears above the Menu No. indicating
the Page code is locked-out.
4 Press [CLR] or [PTT].
• The previous mode is restored.
Note: You cannot lock-out Page memory 0 or A.
AUTO PAGE CANCEL
After successfully paging another station, it is useful
to turn OFF Page to eliminate sending a Page code
each time you transmit. Auto Page Cancel handles
this situation automatically when a station you called
responds using the correct Page code to open your
transceiver's squelch. On your next transmission,
your transceiver then switches OFF your transceiver's
Page function.
Turn this function ON or OFF via Menu B, No. 63
(page 14). The default is OFF.
OPEN PAGE
When both this function and Page are ON, any signal
opens the squelch; however, if a correct Page code is
received, the calling station's code appears on the
Display. This feature is beneficial when you want to
generally monitor activity on a frequency but you want
to be especially sure not to miss a friend's call.
Turn this function ON or OFF via Menu B, No. 64
(page 14}. The default is OFF.
