GROUP CALL
A Group Call consists of a service area and a talkgroup. Service
areas are geographic areas of coverage for your radio. Your specific
service areas are defined by your service provider. A talkgroup is
an organization of radio users who communicate with each other.
In Group Calls, press and hold the PTT to talk and release it to
listen.
Upon pressing PTT, you will hear one of the following alert
tones:
• A high, chirp-like tone indi-
cates that you have permis-
sion to talk. Begin speaking
after the tone.
• A low, continuous tone indi-
cates that you cannot talk at
this time. Wait a moment
and try again.
• A busy-like tone indicates
that the system is busy. Wait
for a call-back (high-
pitched) tone, then try
again.
A time-out timer limits the amount of time you can continuously
talk. When the allotted time expires, you will hear a low-pitched
cut-off tone.
GROUP
Your unit may be programmed
with a courtesy tone. Upon
releasing the PTT, a courtesy
tone alerts listeners that you
have completed your transmis-
sion.
