Secure Operation
Receiving a Private Message
Transmitting a Private Message
1 Select a mode by turning the Mode knob (W4) or pressing the
Mode rocker switch (W5, W7, W9).
2 Using the Volume knob (W4) or the Vol rocker switch (W5, W7,
W9), adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
In conventional modes and, if enabled, in trunking modes, the
BUSY light blinks and the radio unmutes when the radio is
receiving a private message.
Note: The secure on/off state does not affect received messages.
The radio automatically receives coded or clear messages.

Some radio modes may have secure automatically set on or off
if the mode-strapped Secure feature is enabled.
The display shows the current key if multi-key has been
enabled.
Note: If the coded mode is selected, the
D is on. If the standard
(clear) mode is selected, the
D indicator is off.
2 Monitor the mode to be sure it is not in use.
3 Press and hold the PTT button to transmit.
The XMIT indicator lights, and the display shows the current key
selected when transmitting in the coded mode, if multikey and
