ENCRYPTED TRANSMISSION / RECEPTION
(
REQUIRES OPTIONAL ENCRYPTION UNIT
)
 If the transceivers you (and others in your communication group) are using are equipped
with the optional Encryption Unit, the Encryption mode may be activated by pressing
the
[
ENCRP
]
button
(the [
PROGRAMMABLE
]
button which assigned “Encryption” func-
tion). The “ ” icon will become illuminated.
 To de-activate encryption, press the
[
ENCRP
]
button.
 If the signals of all the other stations in your communications group have a severely
distorted or “scrambled” sound, you may have accidentally de-activated your
transceiver’s encryption mode. Pressing the
[
ENCRP
]
button may allow recovery.
However, if only one station in your communications group sounds distorted or
“scrambled,” it is possible that the encryption mode of that transceiver may have been
accidentally turned off. Either the dispatcher or you may advise the other station by
switching your encryption off and calling the other station in the non-encrypted mode.
Remember that your transmissions will be sent in a non-encrypted format, and will
thus not be secure; limit your discussion to a brief advisory regarding the
[
ENCRP
]
button on the other station’s transceiver, then revert to encrypted operation immedi-
ately by pressing the
[
ENCRP
]
button on your transceiver.
