configured as part of that group.
Procedure:
When you receive a Group Call (while on the Home screen):
1 The green LED blinks.

the RSSI icon. The second line displays the group alias or

will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for
you to respond.

OR
If the Voice Interrupt feature is enabled, press the PTT
button to stop the current call from the transmitting radio and
free the channel for you to talk/respond.

clearly into the microphone.

answering the call.
