Responding to a Transmission During a Scan

During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a programmed time period known as “hang time”.

Procedure:

1If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you 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 green LED lights up.

3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak clearly into the microphone.

OR

Wait for the PTT Sidetone 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.
