Operating in conventional mode 47
Checking that a channel is clear
You or your user group may be segregated from other user
groups by special signalling. If an incoming call carries the
special signalling tones specific to you or your user group,
your radio’s signalling mute opens and you can hear the call.
These tones may not be audible.
The monitor function may allow you to override any special
signalling on a channel, so that you can check that the
channel is clear before you make a call.
Note: Your radio may be programmed to activate monitor
whenever the microphone is off the microphone clip.
To activate monitor, you may be able to either:
■ remove the microphone from the microphone clip,
■ use a programmed function key, or
■ use the Main menu.
Activating monitor by using a function key
1 Press the monitor function key to activate monitor and
hear any traffic on the channel.
While monitor is on, the green
LED flashes slowly and the
monitor symbol appears in
the display.
2 Press the monitor function key again to turn monitor off,
or wait for monitor to turn off automatically, after a
programmed delay.
When monitor turns off, the
green LED stops flashing and the
monitor symbol disappears
from the display.
Note: Your radio may be programmed so that monitor turns
off automatically after a short time.
