Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the
side of the radio serves
two basic purposes:
•While a call is in
progress, the PTT
button allows the radio
to transmit to other
radios in the call.
Press and hold down
PTT button to talk.
Release the PTT
button to listen.
The microphone is
activated when the
PTT button is pressed.
•While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make
a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page14).
Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone is enabled,
wait until the short alert tone ends before talking.
Switching Between Conventional and Trunking Mode
Each channel in your radio
can be configured as a
conventional channel or a
trunking channel. Use the
Channel Selector Knob to
switch between a
conventional or a trunking
channel.
When switching from
conventional to trunking
mode, certain features are
unavailable.
Your radio also has features available in both conventional and
trunking mode. However, the minor differences in the way each
feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.
