OPERATING FEATURES
2. Scan Operating
2-1. Scan Start Condition
Two or more non-priority channels must be added to all
channels that can be scanned. The transceiver must be in
normal receive mode (PTT off).
When you activate the key or the toggle switch (to right
position) programmed to the scan function, the scan starts.
The scan icon "SCN" lights and "SCAN" or revert channel
(programmable) is indicated on 7-digit alphanumeric display.
2-2. Scan Stop Condition
The scan stops temporarily if the following conditions are
satisfied.
1) A carrier is detected, then signalling matches on channel
for which receive the signalling is set by the program-
ming software.
2) A carrier is detected on the channel for which receiving
signalling is not set by the programming software or
when the monitor (signalling cancel) function is activated.
2-3. Scan Channel Types
1) Priority channel is the most important channel for the
scan, and always detects a signal during scan and when
the scan stops temporarily.
2) Non-priority channels detects a signal during scan. For
the channels that can be selected with the channel selec-
tor when the scan does not occur, adds an indicator "A"
lights.
2-4. Priority Channel Setting
Priority channel can be set as follows with the program-
ming software (KPG-59D).
1) Specify priority channel as fixed priority channel.
2) Make selected channels, priority channels.
2-5. Scan Type According to the Priority Channel
1) When no priority channels are set : Only the non-priority
channels are scanned.
If a non-priority channel stops temporarily.
2) When one priority channel is set : Either priority channel
is scanned.
If a non-priority channel stops temporarily, a priority chan-
nel signal is detected at certain intervals.
If a priority channel stops temporarily, it stops until there
is no signal on the priority channel.
2-6. Revert Channel
The revert channel is used to transmit during scanning
and set by the programming software (KPG-59D).
1) Last called channel
The transceiver reverts to the last called channel during
the scan.
2) Last used channel
The transceiver reverts to the last used (transmitted)
channel during scan. "Last used" revert channel includes
talkback function.
3) Selected with talkback
The transceiver reverts to the channel before scanning or
the channel that you changed during scan.
4) Selected channel
The transceiver reverts to the channel before scanning or
the channel that you changed during scan.
5) Priority with talkback
The transceiver reverts to the priority channel.
If you press PTT during a resume timer (dropout delay
time, TX dwell time) or calling, you can transmit on cur-
rent channel to answer to the call however revert channel
is set to priority channel.
After resume time, scan re-starts and transmission chan-
nel is return to priority channel.
6) Priority
The transceiver reverts to the priority channel.
2-7. Scan End
When you press the key once again, or the toggle switch
(to left position) programmed to the scan function during
scan mode, the scan ends.
The scan icon "SCN" and "SCAN" or revert channel (pro-
grammable) display goes off.
2-8. Temporarily Delete/Add
It is possible to delete or add channel temporarily during
scan. When scan stops on unnecessary channel for ex-
ample by interference of the other party, activate the delete/
add function (for example press the key), then that channel
is deleted temporarily and scan re-start immediately.
When you would like to add the deleted channel tempo-
rarily to scan sequence, select the desired (deleted) channel
during scan, activate the delete/add function (for example
press the key) before scan re-start.
That channel is added temporarily to scan sequence. The
temporary deleted or added channels are returns to pre-set
delete/add, when the transceiver exits from scan mode.

TK-190
OPERATING FEATURES
3-10. Emergency Channel Display
The transceiver can be programmed to display "EMER-
GENCY" channel name when it is in emergency mode.
If you set to "off" by KPG-59D the transceiver shows se-
lected group/channel/status before entering to the emer-
gency mode however the transceiver is in an emergency
mode.
3-11. Clear to Transpond
The transceiver waits the transpond of 2-Tone/DTMF if
channel is busy until channel open. This feature prevents
the interference to other party.
3-12. External Speaker
It can be selected if the receive sound is made by SP-Mic
SP or the main body SP at a SP-Mic mount.
3-13. Mode (Enable/Disable)
The transceiver has many special modes mainly for main-
tenance.
· Panel Test mode
· Clone mode
· Main programming mode
It is possible to set enable/disable for each mode. We
recommend to set these mode to Disable after set up to
save contents.
3-14. ID
The transceiver is capable to have ID. The format is
DTMF. The timing that the transceiver sends ID is program-
mable.
Begin of TX : Connect ID is send on beginning of trans-
mission.
End of TX : Disconnect ID is send on end of transmission.
Both : Connect ID is send on beginning of transmission
and disconnect ID is send on end of transmission.
Off : Sending ID function is disabled.
There is also "PTT ID" setting for each channel. Refer
"PTT ID" of channel feature.
3-15. OST (Operator Selectable Tone)
The transceiver is capable to have "OST" function and 16
tone pair (QT/DQT) with max 7-digit name for each tone pair.
· "OST" Back Up
The transceiver is programmable the selected "OST"
code is memorized or not. If you set to Disable (no memo-
rized), the "OST" function always starts at "off".
3-16. Data Password (Keypad Model Only)
The data password prevents unauthorized reading of the
programmed transceiver data by FPU. Enter pre-pro-
grammed password in FPU reading process.
3. Optional Features
You can use these features using the programming soft-
ware (KPG-59D).
3-1. Beep Tones
The beep tones (power on tone, control tone, warning
tone, alert tone) are individually programmable to the fixed
level 0 to 31 or follow the mechanical volume position.
3-2. Minimum Volume
The minimum volume is programmable (0 to 31). The
transceiver remains the minimum volume level however the
mechanical volume position is set to zero.
3-3. BCL (Busy Channel Lockout) Override
You can transmit in spite of Busy Channel Lockout situa-
tion. For example : To make an emergency voice call.
To transmit under busy channel lockout situation, press
PTT once more within approx. 500ms after the PTT release.
3-4. Selective Call Alert LED
You can select whether or not the LED on the transceiver
flashes in an orange color when Selective call was occurred.
3-5. Battery Warning
This transceiver has battery warning feature. If the low
voltage is detected during transmission, the transceiver
warns it by flashing red "LED".
Then more low voltage is detected during transmission,
the transceiver stops transmission and warns it by flashing
red "LED" and beep.
Please notice "standard" for the battery exchange, charg-
ing time by flashing red LED and beep.
3-6. Busy LED
You can program the enable or disable the busy "LED"
function when a carrier is detected. "Disable" saves battery
life.
3-7. TX LED
You can program the enable or disable the transmission
"LED" function.
3-8. 2-Digit 7-Segment Display
You can use 2-digit 7-segment the display to display the
channel number or group number. It is useful when the
main (7-digit 13-segment) display indicates channel name.
3-9. Invert Display
Main (7-digit 13-segment) display and sub (2-digit 7-seg-
ment) display can be programmed to invert display.
It is easy to read the display when the operator sus-
pended the transceiver on a waste belt. The operator also
can change the display between normal and invert using
key. Refer the invert display function of key function.
