Selecting Secure Transmissions†‡
Procedure:
Press the preprogrammed Secure/Clear button to toggle to clear mode.
• If the selected channel is preprogrammed for clear-only operation, when you press the PTT
button, you hear an invalid mode tone and the display shows CLR TX.

the Secure/Clear switch setting. This option must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio
technician.
• The Secure/Clear switch only applies when the radio is transmitting.
