You can access various radio functions through one of the following ways:
•A short or long press of the relevant programmable buttons.
OR
• Use the Menu Navigation Buttons as follows:
1To access the menu, press the Sbutton. Press the appropriate Menu Scroll button (Por Q) to access the menu functions.
2To select a function or enter a sub-menu, press the N button.
3To go back one menu level, or to return to the previous screen, press the Rbutton. Long press the Rbutton to return to the Home screen.
The Menu Navigation Buttons are also available on a keypad microphone (see Using the Keypad on page 72).
NOTE: Your radio automatically exits the menu after a period of inactivity and returns to your Home screen.
The PTT button on the side of the microphone serves two basic purposes:
• While a call is in progress, |
PTT Button |
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 18).
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On or Off on page 67) 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.
English
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 66).
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.
