Page 36: Operating In Conventional Mode
Operating in conventional mode This section explains how to operate your radio on a conventional network (digital and analog). Notice The radio may be switched between conventional and trunked modes using a ‘change mode’ programmable function key. This function key should be programmed under both conventional, and trunked key settings, to allow the modes to be switched in both directions. -
Page 37: Selecting A Channel Or Group
Selecting a channel or group Use the channel selector to switch through the channels and groups. If you turn the channel selector while pressing the PTT key, the channel will change after you release the PTT key. A group is a collection of channels that are grouped together for either scanning or voting. -
Page 38: Making A Call
Making a call The radio’s behavior when making a call changes depending on the type of channel selected. Channels can be programmed for: DMR calls over the DMR network ■ DMR calls between radios ■ analog calls between radios ■ If you are on a channel programmed for calls over the DMR network, the green LED indicates whether the network is active. -
Page 39: Making An Emergency Call

While monitor is on, the LED slowly flashes green. Your radio may be programmed so that monitor turns off automatically after a short time. To turn squelch on and off: Squelch is often programmed as a long keypress of the same function key that turns monitor on and off. -
Page 44: Receiving A Call
Receiving a call When there is valid activity on your radio’s currently selected channel or group, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call. If an incoming analog call contains special signaling that matches the signaling programmed for your radio, the LED flashes green and your radio may give a ringing tone. -
Page 45: Scanning A Group Of Channels
Scanning a group of channels The scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of channels, looking for activity. When activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. The radio unmutes and you can hear the call. -
