Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)
If set up by your dealer, you will be unable to transmit on a conventional channel if it is already in use. Under these circumstances, use a different channel or wait until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can transmit overtop of the current signal:
1Press and hold the microphone PTT switch.
• If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
2Release the microphone PTT switch, then press and hold the microphone PTT switch again within half a second.
3Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.
Out of Range
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate when it is out of range. When it can no longer communicate with any site, an out of range tone sounds and “OUT OF RANGE” appears on the display.
Site Trunking
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate a network condition on the registered site. When the transceiver receives a network disabled message, “SITE TRUNK” appears on the display.
Control Channel Hunt
On Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a control channel. While searching for a control channel, no signals can be received. The search begins automatically when you change to a Trunking channel.
PTT ID
PTT ID is a unique transceiver ID code which is sent each time the microphone PTT switch is pressed.
Note: PTT ID can be made only in FM Operation.
If Beginning of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press the microphone PTT switch.
If End of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you release the microphone PTT switch.
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press and release the microphone PTT switch.
