Favorite Folders

You can add frequently used talkgroups and phone book contacts to the Favorite folder. You can add items from
Favorites or Talkgroups and Contacts menu levels respectively.
This feature allows a quick access to frequently used talkgroups by including the groups in up to three favorite
talkgroups ranges. These ranges are separately stored in the data storage.
The feature operates in both TMO and DMO modes. The favorite talkgroups ranges are shared for TMO and DMO
talkgroups. You can select, view, and edit My Groups ranges. Once a group from the My Groups range is selected,
you can select any of the favorite talkgroups in that range using normal procedure.
A favorite talkgroup range name replaces a talkgroup range name on the radio display whenever a favorite talkgroup
is selected, or is in use for appropriate operation. The ranges of favorite talkgroups with their talkgroup assignments
are kept through the radio power cycle.

Talkgroup Blind Operation

The radio can be provisioned with a virtual rotary end-stop option for use in blind operation. When you have scrolled
to the beginning or the end of the list, the first or the last talkgroup is displayed even if you continue to scroll. A tone
is emitted when the upper or lower virtual end stop is reached. To change this setting for the rotary knob you can
select "Wrap around Rotary Knob Group Scrolling" option in the CPS.

Receive-only Talkgroups

Talkgroups can be provisioned as receive-only talkgroups. This setting depends on the settings of the folder the
talkgroup is in. Any talkgroup from the receive-only folder can be selected. The radio allows to receive calls,
however, no call can be initiated to this talkgroup.

Non-Selectable Talkgroups

A talkgroup can be provisioned as a non-selectable talkgroup. Such talkgroups are not visible when scrolling through
the talkgroup list, and thus cannot be selected. The group name is displayed only upon receiving a call for the group,
for instance, if it is an announcement talkgroup associated with the selected group, or if it is a scanned one. The radio
user is not allowed to edit the scan list.

Talk Time Limit

The radio limits the time you can continuously talk in a group call without interruption, according to a provisioned
value. You are warned a short time before the talk time expires. The timer is provisioned per talkgroup folder.

Group Call Reception

In most situations, the radio receives group calls without any intervention. When the radio receives an incoming
group call, you may be alerted with a short alert tone. Depending on the configuration the tone may be disabled. Then
the speech follows.
To clear a call ended by the call owner (normally the SwMI), you do not need to do anything. However, you can leave
a group call. Then the call continues for other radios, however, your radio does not participate in the call anymore.

Talkgroup Scanning

Talkgroup scanning allows the radio to monitor signaling of a number of talkgroups at the same time. In addition to
monitoring signaling addressed to the selected talkgroup, the radio can monitor signaling addressed to multiple
talkgroups.
To use the multiple group monitoring, define a scan list — the user-activated scan list. This list holds up to 20
talkgroups, which you monitor in addition to the selected group.
