Operating in conventional mode 79
To make a call:
1 Select the required channel or scan group.
You may need to select the zone you want first,
then select the channel or group from that zone.
2 On channels programmed for DMR or analog calls
between radios (without a radio network): Check
that the channel is clear. If the LED is glowing
green, the channel is busy and you may not be
able to transmit.
3 Hold the radio so that the microphone is about one
inch (2.5 cm) from your mouth and press the PTT
key to transmit.
4 On a DMR channel: Wait for the go-ahead double-
beep (if programmed).
5 Speak clearly into the microphone and release the
PTT key when you have finished talking.
While you are transmitting, the LED glows red and
the transmit icon appears on the display.
If you turn the channel selector while pressing
the PTT key, the channel will change after you
release the PTT key.
Limiting call time
Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk
(transmit) continuously. This is known as the ‘transmit
timer’ or ‘time-out timer’ and allows other radio users
to make calls on that channel.
The message Transmit Timeout Imminent appears
on the display.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release
the PTT before you can transmit again.
Your radio may be unable to transmit for a short
time after the transmit timer has expired.
