Receiving A Call (Trunked Mode); Transmitting On A Trunked Mode - Motorola GTX User Manual

Receiving a Call (Trunked Modes)
1. Turn on the radio and select the desired trunked mode and talk-
group.
2. Listen until you hear activity, then adjust the volume control for
a comfortable listening level. Your radio is now set to receive
calls on the selected trunked mode.
•
The YELLOW receive LED will light continuously while the
radio is receiving.

Transmitting on a Trunked Mode

1. Turn on the radio and select the desired trunked mode and talk-
group.
2. Hold the microphone in a vertical position at a distance of
about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from your mouth.
3. Press and hold the PTT button and speak slowly and clearly
into the microphone.
•
If access to the trunked system was successful, you will hear
a short, high-pitched beep (the "talk permit" tone).
•
The RED transmit LED will light continuously while the radio
is transmitting.
4. When your transmission is complete, release the PTT to listen.
N OTE: If you hear a busy tone (a series of short, low-pitched tones), release
the PTT button and wait for a call-back tone (a series of short, high-
pitched tones of equal length). When you hear the call-back tone, you
will have three seconds to press the PTT button, allowing you to make
your call without getting another busy signal.
If a continuous talk-prohibit tone is heard when the PTT button is
pressed, it means that the radio is out of range and you will not be able
to transmit.
