Use of the ALAN 516 as Babyphone
This system is particularly helpful to take care of the baby while doing housework
at the same time.
To use this unit as Babyphone you need first of all two LPDs; ALAN 516 can
be used also with other LPDs models, too: the most important fact hereby is
that both devices are indicated with the same frequency setting. If using another
ALAN 516 for listening, the PTT/VOX switch must be in "PTT" position.

1 minute (it indicates the function has been activated), and the RTX will

in transmission mode when a signal/voice is heard. The LPD sends out
a note -similar to the CALL note- for 2 seconds. This note is heard from
the other LPD in RX mode: the radio switches in TX mode for 10 secs.
When the transmission is ended, the LPD switches in reception for 10

INTERCOM FUNCTION

Thanks to the INTERCOM-function, this transceiver is especially suitable for
the use on motorbikes. The DUPLEX function allows simultaneously
communications between driver and partner, as a phone conversation.
Connect the first headset to the Speaker/Microphone-jack at the top of the
transceiver and an optional accessory (throat activated microphones, etc.) to
the INT-jack of ALAN 516. To use this function, set the PTT/VOX switch in
PTT position.
ALAN 516 is now functioning as an Intercom system. To get in contact with
other motorbike drivers (using the same frequency), the transmit mode can
be done manually (PTT-switch) or by voice controlled system (VOX). In this
case, the "PTT-/VOX" switch must be in "VOX" position. It is also necessary
the use of an appropriate accessory.

SCAN function

The Scan function is used to check the traffic radio on the 8 channels before
transmitting.
There are 2 kinds: SCAN and B. SCAN

CTCSS: Continuous Tone Coded Signalling System

ALAN 516 can receive in two modalities:
a) open traffic: in this case you will hear any communication transmitted
on the selected channel.
b) group modality CTCSS/DCS: CTCSS and DCS tones are "access keys"
that allow you to receive only messages coming from parties using same
channel and code. Speaker will remain muted until the correct CTCSS or
DCS tone is received (further details will be explained in the successive
paragraphes).
