ompAnder
The compander can be programmed only for specific
FM channels. If it has been programmed by your dealer,
transmitted signals are compressed before being sent and
received signals are expanded when they arrive.
• Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and
the receive side in order for the compander to operate.
This background feature allows higher clarity of signals,
avoiding excessive noise. This feature is not used on digital
channels, as they are not susceptible to noise and interference.

On Conventional channels, if BCL is set up by your dealer, you
will be unable to transmit on the channel if it is already in use.
Under these circumstances, use a different channel or wait
until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can
transmit over the current signal:
1 Press and hold the PTT switch.
• If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
2 Release the PTT switch, then press and hold the PTT
switch again within half a second.
3 Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal
call.

On digital Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for
a control channel. While searching for a control channel, no
signals can be received. The search begins automatically
when you change to a digital Trunking channel.
• While hunting for a control channel, the antenna icon will flash.
When an available system has been found, the antenna icon
remains on the display without flashing.
