Conventional mode
Making a call
1 Select the required channel or scan group.
You may need to select the zone you want first,
then select the channel or group from that zone.
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 2 inches (5cm) 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 icon appears in the display.
Receiving a call
When there is valid activity on your radio’s currently
selected channel or group, the radio then unmutes and
you can hear the call. If the incoming call contains
special signalling that matches the signalling
programmed for your radio, the green LED flashes and
your radio may give a ringing tone.
