While scanning, the radio will only accept data (e.g. text
message, location, or PC data) if received on its Selected
Channel.
Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel where activity
(e.g. a group call) targeted for the radio is detected. Your radio
unmutes and the incoming call sounds through the radio's
speaker.
The radio remains on that channel while the activity is present
and for a programmed time period (known as "hang time") after
the activity ceases.
Procedure:
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 will
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 the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and
speak clearly into the microphone.
4 Release the PTT button to listen.
5 If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns
to scanning other channels/groups.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
If a particular 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.
