Making a call
To make a call to another radio or group of radios:
1
Select the required channel or group (see
"Selecting a
channel"
or
"Selecting a group"
on
on page 36
).
2
Check that the channel is clear (see
"Checking that a channel
is clear" on page 36
).
If the LED is glowing green, then the channel is busy and you
may not be able to transmit.
3
Once the channel is clear (the LED no longer glows), hold the
radio so that the microphone is about one inch (2.5cm) from
your mouth.
4
Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
5
Speak clearly into the microphone.
While you are transmitting, the LED glows red.
If the channel is transmitting at low power, the LED flashes red
(see
on page 31
).
6
Release the PTT key when you have finished talking.
Limiting call time
Your radio may have a transmit timer that limits the amount of
time you can transmit continuously.
When the transmit timer is about to expire, the LED flashes red
and the radio gives three beeps.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release the PTT
before you can transmit again.
Ending a call
You may be able to use the ‘disable monitor’ function to end your
current call. When disable monitor is activated, monitor is turned
off, and you can no longer hear the call.
To deactivate monitor and end a call:
■
Press the assigned function key.
