SENDING A TRUNKED CALL

For example:
PLANT MODE 1
UNPROGRAMMED
• If you hear a busy signal (a low-frequency
"bah-bah-bah-bah"), release the PTT but-
ton and wait for a call-back tone (sounds
like "di-di-dit"). When you hear the call-
back tone you will have three seconds to
press the PTT button. This allows you to
make another call without getting a busy
signal.
• If a continuous talk-prohibit tone is heard
when the PTT button is pressed, transmis-
sion is not possible. The radio may be out
of range.
Turn the radio on and select the desired
trunked zone and talkgroup (see "Selecting
a Trunked or Conventional Zone").
Press and hold the PTT button on the side
of the radio and speak slowly and clearly
into the microphone area. The red LED
lights when the radio is transmitting. When
you have finished talking, release the PTT
button to listen.
