Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel where activity (e.g. a group call) targeted for the radio is detected. Your radio unmutes and the incoming call sounds through the radio's speaker.
The radio remains on that channel while the activity is present and for a programmed time period (known as "hang time") after the activity ceases.
Procedure:
1Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
2Press the PTT button during hang time. The LED lights up solid green.
3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak clearly into the microphone.
4Release the PTT button to listen.
5If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns to scanning other channels/groups.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
If a particular channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise (termed a “nuisance” channel), you can temporarily remove the unwanted channel from the scan list.
This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the Selected Channel.
