Note: RF Transmissions from the radio are prevented under the following conditions:
• TXI Mode is activated.
• Battery is removed.
• The radio is turned off.
On entering or exiting the transmit inhibit mode, when the radio is camped on a cell, it sends a specially designated
SDS status message. This SDS message indicates to the SwMI that the radio is entering or exiting transmit inhibit
mode.
Mobility procedures that do not require the radio to send an uplink transmission are performed except for cell
reselection.
In transmit inhibit mode the radio joins group calls for any group that the radio is monitoring, but the transmitting on
that call is still prohibited.
The radio also displays any incoming SDS messages to the user. The missed call feature is active in the transmit
inhibit mode and allows checking what calls were missed. However, the radio attempts to prevent call setup
retransmission from being recorded as separate calls.
If you initiate an emergency call, the radio immediately leaves transmit inhibit mode and attempts to start the
emergency call if the radio is in service.
If the radio is turned off in the transmit inhibit mode, on turning on the radio asks whether to exit the transmit inhibit
mode. If you choose No, the radio turns off.
