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 LED is glowing
green, 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 5 cm (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 LED glows red and
the transmit icon appears in the display.
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 message Transmit Timeout Imminent appears in
the display.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release the
PTT before you can transmit again.
Your radio may be unable to transmit for a short
time after the transmit timer has expired.
