Making a call
1 Select the required channel or scan group.
2 Check that the channel is clear. If the green LED is glowing,
the channel is busy and you may not be able to transmit.
3 Once the channel is clear (the green LED is off), lift the
microphone off the microphone clip.
4 Hold the microphone about 5cm (2 inches) from
your mouth.
5 Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
6 Speak clearly into the microphone and release the PTT
key when you have finished talking.
While you are transmitting, the
red LED glows and the transmit
symbol appears in the display.
Transmit t im er
Your radio may have a transmit timer that limits the amount
of time you can transmit continuously.
When the transmit timer is about to
expire, the message Transmit
timeout imminent appears in the
display, the red LED flashes and the
radio gives three beeps.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release the PTT
before you can transmit again.
Making a local call
Each channel on your radio may have one or more local calls
programmed. To make a local call you may be able to either:
■ use the Main menu, or
■ use your Quick Access menu.
