Getting Started Mobile Station Installation Select the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the installation. The location should be convenient and should not interfere with the driver or passenger in the vehicle. The transceiver should be securely fastened to a solid face, using the mounting bracket and self-tapping screws which are provided. Choosing an Antenna Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the Spectrum Management Agency

Scanning Pressing the SCAN button one time will initiate scanning, and scanning is stopped either by pressing the button a second time or pressing the Press-to- Talk button. Programming Scan Channels When the radio is initially turned on, there will not be any channels programmed in the Group Scan Memory. To Program scan channels into the Group Scan Memory, use the following proce- dure: 1. Select the NORMAL mode (or when scanning, cancel scanning by pressing the SCAN button.) 2. Select the GROU

Removing Group Scan Channels To Delete a programmed channel from the Group Scan Memory, use the following procedure: 1. Rotate the CHANNEL SELECTOR knob until the channel you wish to remove is displayed. Note that the MEM indicator should appear, indicating that this channel is currently programmed in memory. 2. Press and hold the MEM button for about 1.5 seconds until a beep is heard twice. The MEM indicator should now be off. Select Remove 'MEM' Icon CHANNEL CHANNEL OFF MEM I81Iden D UII + GS

Removing Open Scan Channels When the radio is initially turned on, all 40 channels are programmed in the OPEN SCAN MEMORY. If you do not wish to scan some particular channels (e.g. if one or more channels are continually busy and always causing the scanning function to pause), you can remove these channels from the scan group by using the following procedure: 1. Cancel scal)ning (if active). 2. Select the OPEN SCAN mode by pressing the OS/GS button when in the GS mode. The OS indicator should ap

Selective Calling Outline Selective Calling (SELCALL) is a special Sequential Tone Squelch System that allows the user to receive/transmit calls selectively from/to an individual or a group, on a shared busy channel. The SUNDOWNER UH-O99 has a specially built-in Selective Calling (SELCALL) system. Exceptional features like Receiver Quieting,Tone Squelch Scanning, Tone and Group Calling make the SUNDOWNER UH-O99superior to any transceivers in its class. Receiver Quieting (Tone Squelch) When activ

Receiver Quieting Puts the receiver in the "Ouiet" mode (also known as the "Tone Squelch" mode). When activated, the transceiver prevents any unwanted conversations in the channel from being heard unless the call is specifically directed to you and the SELCALL ID required to open the "Ouiet" condition has been received. To activate: 1. Select the channel you want to put in Quiet mode using the Channel Selector knob. 2. Press the T.SO button for about 1.5 seconds. One beep is heard and the T.Sa i

Start the T.Sa Scan by pressing the T.Sa button during Open Scan or Group Scan. Unlike Normal Scanning, T.Sa Scanning checks the detected carrier for SELCALL information. If this information is not found, T.Sa scanning resumes. When a call is received during T.Sa Scanning, UH-099 follows the same response as when receiving a call on a Tone Squelch Channel. It differs only in the following ways. 1. If the call is not answered within the 20 second period, T .sa Scanning resumes. The CAL indicator

1. Select the channel that you and your group agreed to use for Selective Calling. 2. Press and hold the Tone Call Button for about 1.5 seconds. One long beep will be heard and the CAL indicator will appear on the LCD display while the SELCALL ID is being transmitted automatically. An Acknowledge Tone coming from the called radio will be received if you had successfully made contact. The Acknowledge Tone for the SUNDOWNER UH-099 is a succession of three Low Tone Beeps. 5/6 Tone TX SELCALL Progra
