Changing the Priority Channel
If a priority channel is associated with the current
scan list, it can be permanently changed using the
Priority option key or menu parameter as follows.
1. Make sure scanning is disabled ( icon not
displayed) and the desired scan list is selected (see
page 14).
2. Select the desired channel and then press the
Priority option key or select that menu parameter.
“Priority” is then flashed to indicate that the current
channel is now the priority channel when scanning
that list.
NOTE: The priority channel can also be changed
when editing a scan list as described on page 15.
Placing and Receiving Conventional Calls
Placing a Standard Conventional Call
1. Turn power on and set the volume as described on
page 8. Select the zone and channel programmed for
the mobile you want to call as described on page 9.
2. Monitor the channel automatically or manually as
described on page 16.
3. Press the PTT switch and if the Busy Channel
Lockout feature is programmed on the channel (see
page 16), the transmitter is automatically disabled if
the channel is busy. Otherwise, busy and out-of-
range conditions are not indicated.
4. Press (and hold) the PTT switch to talk and release
it to listen.
Receiving a Standard Conventional Call
1. Select or scan the channel programmed for the call
you want to receive (refer to pages 13 and 18 for
more scanning information).
2. When the call is received, press the PTT switch to
talk and release it to listen. If scanning, responses
may occur on the priority, selected, or receive
channel as described in the preceding information.
Project 25 (Digital) Mode Features
Viewing Individual ID
Each transceiver which operates on Project 25
(digital) channels is assigned an eight-digit individual
ID. When power is turned on with a Project 25 channel
selected, the individual ID of your radio is briefly
displayed.
Group IDs
Each Project 25 channel is programmed with a
group ID code that determines the group of mobiles
which will receive your call on that channel and also
which calls you can receive.
Selective Squelch
Project 25 conventional channels use a NAC
(Network Access Code) instead of Call Guard squelch
(see page 17) to control which calls are received on a
channel. Both the correct group ID and NAC must be
detected to receive a call. However, other operation,
such as monitoring, is similar to when Call Guard
squelch is used.
The NAC code can also be manually selected like
Call Guard codes if the Squelch Code option key and a
code list have been programmed. The procedure is the
same as that for Call Guard codes described on
page 17.
Changing Talk Group Assigned To A Channel
If the Digital Talk Group Select option key or
Select TG menu parameter is programmed, the talk
group assigned to a channel can be changed as
follows. The new talk group continues to be assigned
to the channel until it is manually changed again.
1. Select the channel to be changed and then press the
Talk Group Select option key or select the Select TG
menu parameter.
2. Press the Up/Down switch until the alias (alphatag)
of the desired talk group is displayed.
3. To select that talk group and return to normal oper-
ation, press the Talk Group Select option key again
