The radio does not begin scanning again for a predetermined
hang time (programmable by a qualified radio technician) after
you release the PTT button, allowing the other party to respond.
If the other party responds within the hang time, scanning does
not resume until the full hang time expires after they have
finished speaking, allowing the conversation to be completed.

active, first turn scan off by pressing the SCAN softkey
momentarily.
In selected mode or fixed mode, press the microphone PTT
button at any time to transmit on the selected mode or fixed
mode.
Note: To make a Call Alert page, or Private Conversation call while
scanning, press either the PAGE or CALL softkey.
The call is entered on the selected mode and scanning is
halted until the call is exited by pressing the HOME button or
pressing either the PAGE or CALL softkey.
