Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group
where activity is detected. The radio stays on that
channel for a programmed time period known as
“hang time”.
1 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled, you hear a short alert tone the moment
the transmitting radio releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
2 Press the PTT button during hang time.
The LED lights up solid green.
3 Wait for one of the following tones to finish (if
enabled), and speak clearly into the microphone.
• The Talk Permit Tone
•
The PTT Sidetone
4 Release the PTT button to listen.
If you do not respond within the hang time, the
radio returns to scanning other channels/groups.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or
noise (termed a “nuisance” channel), you can
temporarily remove the unwanted channel from the
scan list.
This capability does not apply to the channel
designated as the Selected Channel.
1 When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or
nuisance channel, press the programmed
Nuisance Channel Delete button until you hear a
tone.
2 Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button.
The nuisance channel is deleted.
Restoring a Nuisance Channel
To restore the deleted nuisance channel, do one of
the following:
• Turn the radio off and then power it on again.
•
Change the channel via the Channel Selector
Knob.
