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.
When the transmit timer is about to expire, your radio gives
three medium-pitched beeps. Finish your conversation as
soon as possible and release the PTT.
For a short time, your radio may prevent you from making
a call.
Receiving a Call
Your radio remains quiet until there is valid activity on the
channel your radio is currently on.
To receive a call:
■ Select the desired channel as described in “Selecting a
channel” on page 29, or “Selecting a channel bank” on
page 30.
To respond to a call:
■ Press the PTT key and talk.
