You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone or the PTT Sidetone by disabling all radio tones and alerts

(see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on page 60).

Switching Between Conventional Analog

and Digital Mode

Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel. Use the Channel Rocker to switch between an analog or a digital channel.

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (such as Messages) reflect this change by appearing ‘grayed out’. Disabled features are hidden in the menu.

Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog

modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 26).

Channel Rocker

Capacity Plus

Capacity Plus is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254 Groups. This feature allows your radio to efficiently utilize the available number of programmed channels while in Repeater Mode.

You can only access channel(s) with Capacity Plus via the Channel Rocker, while features supported in Capacity Plus can be accessed via the menu and/or a programmable button press.

Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus will not be available in the menu. You will hear a negative indicator tone if you access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.

Your radio also has features that are available in both conventional digital mode and Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information on this system.
