Page 19: Understanding The Radio Indicators
Understanding the radio indicators The status LED indicators and the radio’s audible tones all combine to give you information about the state of your radio. The most common way the indicators work is described in the following sections. Note: The way these indicators behave may be affected by the way your radio is programmed. - Page 20 Audible tones Note: If quiet or silent mode has been turned on, you will not hear any audible tones. For a description of other tones you may hear, see “Describing the radio’s audible tones” on page Tone type Meaning one short Radio locked: you need to enter a personal beep after identification number (PIN) before you can...

Page 22: Turning The Radio On And Off
Turning the radio on and off Give a long press of the on/off key to turn the radio either on or off. When the radio is first turned on, the red, green and amber LEDs flash briefly and the radio gives two short beeps. Unlocking your radio You may need to enter a personal identification number (PIN) before you can use your radio. -
Page 23: Checking That A Channel Is Clear
Checking that a channel is clear You or your user group may be segregated from other user groups by special signalling. If an incoming call carries the special signalling tones specific to you or your user group, your radio’s signalling mute opens and you can hear the call. These tones may not be audible. -
Page 24: Activating The Repeater Before A Call
Activating the repeater before a call A repeater-access tone is sent to activate the repeater before a call is made, so that the start of the call is not lost. To send a repeater-access tone, you may be able to either: ■... -
Page 25: Making A Call
Making a call Select the required channel or scan group using the channel selection keys Check that the channel is clear. If the green LED is glowing, the channel is busy and you may not be able to transmit. Once the channel is clear (the green LED is off), lift the microphone off the microphone clip. -
Page 26: Making A Preset Call
Making a preset call You may be able to make preset calls to other radios by using a programmed function key. There are two types of preset calls that may be available: ■ channel preset calls, or ■ network preset calls. Making a channel preset call Select the required channel using the channel selection keys... -
Page 27: Making An Emergency Call

Page 29: Communicating Directly With Other Radios
Communicating directly with other radios You can bypass the radio repeater and communicate directly with another radio. This feature is known as repeater talkaround. You can do this, for example, when you are out of range of the repeater, or if the repeater is busy or stops working. While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions are made on the receive frequency of the channel you are on. -
Page 30: Hearing Faint And Noisy Signals
Hearing faint and noisy signals Your radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when the strength of the incoming signal is above a predetermined threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelligibility are made audible. To make faint and noisy signals audible, use the squelch override function to unmute the radio. -
Page 31: Using The Radio In Different Repeater Areas
Using the radio in different repeater areas Your radio may have a group of channels programmed as a voting group. The channels in the voting group all carry the same traffic, but from different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of different repeater coverage areas, the best communication channel is automatically selected for you to use, until a better communications channel is selected. -
Page 32: 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. While the radio is scanning for activity, the amber LED glows. When activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. The amber LED begins flashing, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call. - Page 33 Making a call while scanning If you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning: Lift the microphone off the microphone clip. Press the PTT key to transmit. If the amber LED is flashing, your radio will now call the currently selected channel. If standard scan is active and there has been no recent activity on the channel (the amber LED is glowing rather than flashing), then the channel that is called depends on...
-
Page 34: Receiving A Call
Receiving a call When there is valid activity on your radio’s currently selected channel or group, the radio then unmutes and you can hear the call. If the incoming call contains special signalling that matches the signalling programmed for your radio, the green LED flashes and your radio may give a ringing tone. -
