Making a call
1 Select a preset call from your list of preset calls, and
select
Send. Alternatively, you may be able to dial
the call using your keypad microphone.
While the call is being set up, you can select Clear to
cancel the call.
2 Once the called party answers, lift the microphone
off the microphone clip.
3 Hold the microphone about 2 inches (5cm) from
your mouth.
4 Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
5 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 you receive a call, your radio displays the caller’s
identity and either automatically accepts the call, or
waits for you to accept the call.
Once the GO symbol appears, you can proceed with the
call.
Limiting call time
Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk
(transmit) continuously. This is known as the ‘transmit
timer’ or ‘time-out timer’ and allows other radio users to
make calls on that channel.
The radio warns you before the transmit timer expires
by beeping three times. The red status LED flashes and
the message
Transmit timeout imminent appears in
the display.
