Using the Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)
Smart PTT is a per-personality, programmable feature used in
conventional radio systems to keep radio users from talking
over other radio conversations.
When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot transmit
on an active channel.
If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel, you hear
an alert tone, and the transmission is inhibited. The LED lights
up solid yellow to indicate that the channel is busy.
Three variations of smart PTT are available:
IMPRES™ Battery Annunciator
This feature displays the current capacity and charges cycles of
your battery when a IMPRES Battery is powering your radio.
This feature must be enabled in your radio to see the
information.
The information shown are:
• Rated Capacity – Percentage of current battery capacity.
• Remaining Capacity – Remaining power of the battery in
mAh.
• Estimated Charges – Number of charges cycles the battery
has gone through.
