Check or Change the Active Profile

The radio can store up to sixteen (16) standard profiles within its personality, one of which is always set as the currently active profile. Each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups.

If the dwell display is set to "profile," the currently active profile's name appears in the bottom line of the display. Otherwise, to determine which profile is currently active, use the menu buttons to access the Profile Menu. The active profile's name will appear in the top line of the display. To switch to/activate a different profile:

1. Using + or -, scroll until "Profile Menu" appears in the bottom line of the display. The name of the currently active profile appears in the top line.
2. Use the Menu Navigation knob to choose the desired profile stored in the radio as established by the OpenSky^®network administrator.
3. The profile becomes active when selected for longer than 2 seconds, when MENU is pressed, or when the menu is changed.

Check or Change the Selected Talk Group

One talk group within the currently active profile is set as the "selected talk group." For the radio user, the selected talk group is typically the focus of most voice transmissions and receptions. There are two ways to change the selected talk group:

First Method:
From the dwell display, use the Talk Group Selection knob to scroll through the available list of talk groups in the active profile.

Second Method:

1. Using + or -, scroll through the menu until "TalkGrpMenu" is displayed.
2. Use the Menu Navigation knob to scroll through the available list of talk groups in the active profile.

Receive a Voice Call

No action is required to receive a voice call.

Transmit a Voice Call

1. If not already on, power-up the radio.
2. Select the desired talk group on which to transmit.
3. Depress and hold the Push-To-Talk button on the handheld microphone, pause for a moment, and then speak normally. For maximum clarity, hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from the mouth and do not shout or whisper into it. If the call is queued by the network, wait for the grant tone to sound before speaking.
4. Release the PTT button when finished speaking.

Adjust Side Tone Audio Level

1. Use + or – to cycle through the menu until the "Side Menu" appears in the bottom line of the display.
2. Use the Menu Navigation knob to change to the desired level (Off, Low, Medium, High). To turn side tones completely off, use the "Off" setting.

Declare an Emergency

1. Press the red emergency button on the radio to enter emergency mode. The emergency is raised after the emergency raise delay [default is one (1) second].
   • If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured for Emergency Alert, the emergency alert signal is sent to registered alert servers, such as the dispatcher console.
   • If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured for Emergency Call, the talkgroup is placed into emergency status notifying other radios and the emergency alert signal is sent to the dispatcher console.
   • If the emergency behavior of the active profile is Current, the active, selected voice group becomes the default emergency voice group.
   • If the emergency behavior of the active profile is Default, the radio moves to the default emergency voice group of the profile and this talk group becomes the select talk group.
2. The display will alternate between the emergency voice group name and "EMERGENCY" and declaring User ID to indicate that the emergency has been initiated.

Clear an Emergency

Check with the system administrator to ensure that the radio is programmed to allow an emergency to be cleared.
