Chapter 2: Services and Features

with their talkgroup assignments are kept through the radio power cycle.

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
you to receive calls, however, no call can be initiated to this talkgroup.
2.7.6

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.
2.7.7

Transmission Timeout Timer

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.
2.7.8

Group Call Reception

In most situations, the radio receives group calls without any intervention. When the radio receives an
incoming group call, you are alerted with a short alert tone. Depending on the configuration, the tone
can be disabled. Then the speech follows.
To clear a call ended by the call owner, normally by the SwMI, you do not need to do anything.
However, you can leave a group call. Then the call continues for other radios, even though your radio
does not participate in the call anymore.
2.7.9

Talkgroup Scanning

Talkgroup scanning allows the radio to monitor signaling of a few 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 enable talkgroup scanning, select a pre-defined scan list. The available scan lists are configurable
through the Customer Programming Software (CPS) only. This list holds up to 20 talkgroups, which
you monitor in addition to the selected group.
You can choose only one user-activated scan list at a time. When this list is activated, the radio begins
to monitor traffic for these groups in addition to the traffic for the selected group. Up to 40 scan lists can
be defined.
The radio displays the scanned talkgroup ID when it receives a group call while talkgroup scanning is
active. The display is turned off by default when the radio is transmitting. Pressing the Power/Sleep/
Wake button turns on the display, showing the scanned talkgroup ID.
