Adjusting The Volume; Selecting A Mode; Sending A Trunked Call; Sending A Conventional Call - Motorola MTX150 User Manual

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

Turn the On-Off/Volume knob clockwise to
increase the volume or counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.

SELECTING A MODE

Up to 16 modes can be programmed into your
radio.
A mode is a conventional channel or trunked
talkgroup and all the features that are
programmed to it.
Use the Mode Selector knob to select the
appropriate trunked talkgroup or conventional
channel.

SENDING A TRUNKED CALL

Turn the radio on and select the desired
1
trunked talkgroup (See "Selecting a Mode").
Press and hold the PTT button on the side
2
of the radio and speak slowly and clearly
into the microphone area. The red LED
lights when the radio is transmitting. When
you have finished talking, release the PTT
button to listen.
• If you hear a busy signal (a low-frequency
"bah-bah-bah-bah"), release the PTT but-
ton and wait for a call-back tone (sounds
like "di-di-dit"). When you hear the call-back
tone you will have three seconds to press
the PTT button. This allows you to make
another call without getting a busy signal.
• If a continuous talk-prohibit tone is heard
when the PTT button is pressed, transmis-
sion is not possible. The radio may be out
of range.

SENDING A CONVENTIONAL CALL

Turn the radio on and select the desired
1
conventional channel (see "Selecting a
Mode").
Press and hold the PTT button on the side
2
of the radio and speak slowly and clearly
into the microphone area. The red LED
lights continuously when the radio is trans-
mitting.
When you have finished talking, release the
3
PTT button to listen.
