Outgoing Calls

When you have selected zone and mode, you are
ready to transmit.
Lift the microphone out of its holder and press the
transmit key PTT (F) while talking, release it while lis-
tening. Speak in a normal tone of voice, keeping a dis-
tance of 5 -10 cm (2-4") from the microphone. While
transmitting the red indicator (B) will light.
Conventional only:
If the orange indicator is lit, the channel is busy. Wait
for the indicator to turn off before transmitting.
Trunking only:
If the busy tone sounds, release the PTT (F) and wait
for the automatic call back tone. When this tone is
heard, press the PTT (F) within 3 seconds to transmit
the call again.
If your radio is equipped with a time out timer, a warn-

terminated.

Scanning

Scan allows the user to monitor more than one chan-
nel or talkgroup (including the selected channel or
talkgroup) at a time for activity.
Channels within a scan list may be assigned priority
levels as follows:
Priority 1: Most important
Priority 2: Second most important
Non-Priority: Normal scan list member without
priority
In scan the radio will listen to the channel/talkgroup
with the highest priority. If a channel/talkgroup with a
higher priority becomes active while the radio is listen-
ing to a lower priority member, the radio will switch to
the higher priority channel/talkgroup.
Note: If the user is involved in a conversation, he
will not be interrupted by any normal priority calls.

Turning Scanning On/Off

The scanning feature may be turned on via the Scan
button (8) or via a menu as previously described.
