ing required to obtain a communication
channel.

played and the channel access alert
tone (one beep) is heard.

inches from your mouth and speak into
the microphone in a normal voice.

If a group is not programmed for private
mode operation, PVT DIS will momentarily
show in the display if an attempt is made
to enable private transmit mode. It is not
possible to operate on this group in private
mode
If the radio is programmed for forced pri-
vate operation, FRCD PVT will momentarily
show in the display if an attempt is made
to disable private transmit mode. It is not
possible to transmit on this group in clear
mode.
If a group/special call programmed for pri-
vate operation has been selected, and there
is no key in the radio for the selected
group/special call, NO KEY x (where "x" is
the key number) will appear in the display for
approximately two seconds when private
mode is enabled. Afterwards the display will
return to the selected group/special call. If
a private mode transmission is attempted,
NO KEY x will appear in the display and the
radio will emit a series of beeps without
transmitting.
