Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where activity is detected. The radio
stays on that channel for a programmed time period known as "hang time"
Procedure:
1. Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
If digital channel and the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you will hear a short alert
tone the moment the transmitting radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free
for you to respond.
2. Press the PTT button during hang time. The RED LED turns on.
3. Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish if enabled and speak clearly into the microphone.
4. Release the PTT button to listen.
5. If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns to scanning other
channels/groups.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise (termed a "nuisance" channel), you
can temporarily remove the unwanted channel from the scan list.
This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the Selected Channel.
Procedure:
1. When your radio locks on to an unwanted or nuisance channel, press the programmed
Nuisance Channel Delete button until you hear a tone.
2. Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The nuisance channel is deleted.
Deleting a "nuisance" channel is only possible through the programmed Nuisance Channel
Delete button. This feature is not accessible through the menu.
Restoring a Nuisance Channel
Procedure:
To restore the deleted nuisance channel, do ONE of the following:
• Turn the radio off and then powering it on again.
• Stop and restart a scan via the programmed Scan button or menu.
• Change the channel via the Channel Selector Knob.
Contacts Settings
Contacts provides "address-book" capabilities on your radio. Each entry corresponds to an alias
or ID that you use to initiate a call.
Additionally, each entry, depending on context, associates with ONE of five types of calls:
Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or Dispatch Call, PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-
related. They are only available with the applications. Refer to the data applications
documentation for more information.
NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you can make privacy-enabled Group
Call, Private Call, and All Call on that channel. Only target radios with the same Privacy Key OR
the same Key Value and Key ID as your radio will be able to unscramble the transmission.
Each entry within Contacts displays the following information:
• Call Type
• CallAlias
• Call ID
NOTE: You can add, delete, or edit subscriber IDs for the Digital Contacts list.
