Operation 

IPE2500A and IPE2500A-MLS Paging Encoder/Desktop Controller

 

03/12 14 

Front Panel Buttons 

Signaling Buttons 

The signaling buttons operate as follows: 

ALERT

 

The 

ALERT

 button is used to transmit two types of alert tones: a continuous tone and a pulsed tone (when 

used in conjunction with the 

CTL

 button.)  Refer to the “Alert Tone” section on page 23 of this manual 

for a detailed description. 

PAGE 

The 

PAGE

 button is used to enter page mode.  While in page mode, the operator may select from among 

various types of pages to be transmitted.  These include DTMF, 2-Tone, Plectron, 5/6-Tone, 2805, 1500, 
and Immediate DTMF.  Refer to the “Paging” section on page 24 of this manual for a detailed 
description. 

CLEAR 

The 

CLEAR

 button uses include clearing the frequency selection during frequency selection mode or 

clearing a capcode entry in paging mode. 

SELECT 

The 

SELECT

 button is used to enter the frequency selection mode (not possible on the IPE2500A-MLS), 

select a frequency in frequency selection mode or select a paging type in page mode. 

UP/DOWN

 

BUTTONS 

The 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 buttons are used while in the paging mode to scroll through the pre-programmed 

paging aliases and for programming microphone sensitivity. 

PB1, PB2, PB3, and PB4 Programmable Buttons 

The four programmable buttons with LED indicators are used to custom configure up to eight user 
functions.  The 

PB1

 through 

PB4

 buttons are accessed directly, while the 

PB5

 to 

PB8

 buttons are 

accessed using the 

CTL

 key while depressing one of the 

PB1

 through 

PB4

 

buttons.  When shipped from 

the factory, the programmable buttons are disabled.  Refer to you CARD Suite Help file for programming 
information. 

In addition, the use and function of these keys are dependent upon your radio’s capabilities. 

VOLUME Up and VOLUME Down Buttons 

Press the 

VOLUME

 Up or Down buttons to adjust the local speaker volume if the handset is on-hook.  

The handset speaker volume is adjusted if the handset is off-hook. 

The display shows the new setting for two seconds after a volume change.  The internal, handset, and 
accessory each have individual settings.  When the handset is off-hook, the following message is 
displayed: 

HANDSET

 

VOL:

 Up and 

VOLUME

 Down buttons also adjust the sensitivity of the microphone that is 

currently in use.  Refer to the “Microphone Sensitivity Adjustments” section on page 44 of this manual 
for more information.
