Example user profiles
Typical profiles could include:
Covert Mode operation
Covert Mode turns off all visual alerts. It deactivates the backlight and adjusts the microphone
sensitivity to allow Whisper mode. It also reduces the level of the loudspeaker if an earpiece is not
being used. If your radio has a vibrator alert enabled then this is deactivated. See Whisper mode
on page29.
Lone Worker operation
This user profile activates the Lone Worker function to allow users working alone to indicate that they
are safe. See Lone Worker on page96.
Group Focus
This user profile allows you to prevent any individual calls or group calls from any talkgroup other
than the selected talkgroup from being connected to your radio.
Any calls made to a radio which has Group Focus selected are not recorded as Missed Calls.
Do Not Disturb
This user profile allows you to focus on an important task. It assumes you do not want to be
distracted by a call or alert on your radio. The profile sets your radio so that no incoming calls are
allowed except calls from the current talkgroup (Group Focus above). Covert Mode operation is
active. Audible alerts are disabled. If this profile is selected you cannot select Transmit Inhibit (see
