Favorite Folders

Favorite talkgroups and contact numbers are stored in favorite folders. The folders are common for all types of
talkgroups and contact numbers, which means that in one folder you can have items available in different modes.
Additionally, to indicate the type of each item, the radio displays a small icon next to it.
By default the radio has one favorite folder that can store up to 128 favorite items. However, you can create two
additional folders inside Favorites and give them meaningful names reflecting their content.
If Favorites contains only one favorite folder and it is empty, the only operations you can perform are adding an item
to the folder, renaming the folder, and creating a new folder.

Favorite Talkgroups

You can add any talkgroup programmed in the radio to Favorites. The radio adjusts the mode it is in according to the
currently selected favorite talkgroup. For example, if the radio is in DMO and you select a TMO talkgroup, the radio
switches to TMO, and vice versa.
Scrolling through favorite talkgroups during an ongoing group call does not terminate the call. Also deleting a
currently selected talkgroup from Favorites during an ongoing call does not lead to the call termination.
If before powering off the last selected talkgroup was a talkgroup from Favorites, the radio:
• On powering up in DMO attaches to the last selected favorite DMO talkgroup.
• On powering up in TMO attaches to the last selected favorite TMO talkgroup.
To make a call on a favorite talkgroup, use the standard procedures for group calls described in this document.

Favorite Contact Numbers

You can add any contact number from Contacts to Favorites. In case of contacts containing more than one contact
number, you need to use the right or left N
no limitations regarding adding single contact numbers assigned to one contact – you can add all contact numbers as
separate entries. Removing a single contact number from Contacts automatically removes it from Favorites.
Similarly, removing a contact from Contacts automatically removes all the related contact numbers from Favorites.
It is impossible to make a call to a favorite contact number during emergency operations.
