Secure Features
Transmitting in Secure and Clear Modes
If your radio is secure-capable, you can transmit messages in secure 
mode.
To transmit a message in secure or encrypted mode:
1 Press and release the preprogrammed Secure button when your 
radio is on personalities or talkgroups that have been designated 
by your system manager for secure transmissions.
2 Press the PTT button to transmit while the radio is on a 
personality or talkgroup programmed for secure. 
The radio will begin transmitting in secure mode. The display 
shows 
D (secure status annunciator) when the transmission is in 
progress.
To transmit a message in non-encrypted or clear mode:
Press and release the preprogrammed Secure button again.
The radio will transmit in clear mode when you press the PTT 
button. The display does not show the 
D status annunciator.
Note: You cannot change from secure to clear while the PTT button 
is pressed. The radio will generate an illegal tone and the 
transmission will be ended.
Secure-equipped radios automatically determine whether a voice 
message is being received in secure or clear mode. This allows you 
to receive either type of message without having to reset the 
preprogrammed Secure button.
