■Making Group Calls (P25)

Channels programmed for Conventional P25 and Trunking P25 operation already have a Group ID assigned. For these channels, simply press and hold the PTT switch to make the call.

•On Trunking channels, if the traffic channel is busy, a busy message appears and the busy tone sounds. Release the PTT switch and wait for the channel to become free. When the traffic channel becomes free, a proceed tone sounds.

Otherwise, if a key has been programmed with Talkgroup (Conventional P25 only), you can select a group ID from the list to make a call to those parties. To select a group ID:

1Press the key programmed as Talkgroup.

2Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select a group ID/name from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.

•The target group ID/name appears on the display.

3Press the PF 1 key to accept the group ID/name.

4Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.

•Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.

■Making Individual Calls (P25)

If a key has been programmed with Individual, you can make calls to specified persons.

1Press the key programmed as Individual.

2Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select a unit ID from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.

•Alternatively, you can directly enter a unit ID by using a DTMF keypad.

•The target unit ID/name appears on the display.

3Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.

•Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.
