Additional Radio Controls in
Connect Plus Mode
This chapter explains the additional radio controls available
to the radio user through preprogrammed means such as
programmable buttons and assignable radio functions.
Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic
purposes:
• While a call is in progress, the PTT button allows the
radio to transmit to other radios in the call.
Press and hold the
PTT button to talk. Release the PTT
button to listen.
The microphone is activated when the PTT button is
pressed.
• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to
make a new call (see Making a Radio Call
on page
228).
If the Talk Permit Tone is enabled, wait until the short alert
tone ends before talking.
Programmable Buttons
Your dealer can program the programmable buttons as
shortcuts to radio functions depending on the duration of a
button press:
Short press
Pressing and releasing rapidly.
Long press
Pressing and holding for the programmed duration.
NOTICE:
The programmed duration of a button press is
applicable for all assignable radio/utility functions or
settings. See Emergency Operation on page
261 for
more information on the programmed duration of the
Emergency button.
