Making a call
To make a call:
1 Select the required zone (see "Selecting a zone"
on page 58).
2 Select the required channel (see "Selecting a
channel" on page 59).
3 Hold the radio so that the microphone is about
one inch (2.5 cm) from your mouth and press the
PTT key to transmit.
If the channel is busy, you may not be able to
transmit. Wait until the status LED has stopped
glowing green, and then try again.
4 Speak clearly into the microphone and release the
PTT key when you have finished talking.
While you are transmitting the LED glows red and
appears on the display.
5 Finish your conversation as soon as possible and
release the PTT key. For a short time, your radio
may prevent you from making another call.
Making an individual call
This feature is available for digital channels only.
For analog individual calls, see "Making a local call"
on page 67.
To make a call to one person rather than a group of
people:
1 Press Menu and select Individual call.
(The person to whom you last made an individual
call is highlighted.)
