Main Control Functions
The main screen has functions available to both supervisors and general users.
Channel buttons
The radio channel buttons are located in the allocated radio channels box; a user can pre-
select the radio channels they require available to them for their normal operating duties. A
user can change the channels available at any time.
The channel button uses a colour and also indicators to show at a glance the status of each
individual radio channel.
Please note that due to the many different variations available for the channel buttons and
other properties of the operator screen, the layout on your screen may differ slightly to
those shown
Channel Off
With the channel button in the greyed out state the channel is available to the operator but
they have not selected it to monitor or transmit. The operator will not hear any audio
present on the channel.
Monitor
By clicking the channel button once, the channel is now available to the operator to monitor
the audio present. The operator cannot transmit on this channel. A yellow band across the
bottom of the button (or a solid yellow colour to the button) indicates that the channel is in
the monitor mode.
