Press PTT before you start talking and release PTT after you have finished speaking.

Your radio doesn’t allow you to talk and receive simultaneously, so keep your transmission short. When you are transmitting, other people can not. Use common sense and do not occupy the channel too much.

The radio might be programmed with a timeout timer which will automatically end your transmission after a preset time. In this case release PTT and wait for a few seconds. The radio transmitter will be enabled again after a few seconds. Ask your dealer or communications coordinator for further details.

The radio might be programmed for busy channel lock out, which automatically disables the transmitter if your channel is busy. In this case wait until the channel is clear.

Scanning Channels

If you have more than one channel programmed, your MO-1008

/MO-4008 / MO-1016 / MO-4016 may be programmed to allow you to scan them. To activate scan press and release the programmed function button. The radio will begin checking all channels in the scan list for activity. The scan icon will blink while the radio is scanning.

If beeps are enabled a high pitched beep will sound when scan is activated and a lower pitched beep will sound when scan is turned off.

The scan list is programmed by your dealer or communications coordinator. Your dealer may also have designated one or two channels in the scan list as a priority channel. The priority channel is checked for activity more often than other channels in the scan list. The priority channel may also be checked for activity while the radio is receiving on a non-priority channel.
