The Menu Navigation Buttons are also available on a keypad
microphone (see Using the Keypad on page 64).
NOTE: Your radio automatically exits the menu after a period
of inactivity and returns to your Home screen.
Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of
the microphone 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 page 16).
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 61) or the PTT Sidetone is enabled, wait
until the short alert tone ends before talking.
During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you
will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the
radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.

You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your
call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an
Emergency Call.
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).
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.

For Capacity Plus, there is no LED indication when the
radio is detecting activity over the air.
Upon a PTT button press, if the radio is programmed
for polite operation, the radio automatically determines
whether a transmission is permitted via a Talk Permit or
a Talk Denial tone.
