Receiving/Transmitting
After you have turned your radio on and selected the desired zone and
channel, you can receive (listen to) or transmit (send) communications as
follows:
1a. Listen until
you hear a
transmission.
2. Adjust the Volume Control Knob for a
comfortable listening level.
3. To transmit, press and hold the
PTT Switch and speak clearly into
the microphone. The LED will
continuously light red while the
radio is transmitting. When you
have finished talking
(transmitting), release the PTT
Switch to listen (receive).
• If the channel on which you are transmitting is
programmed to receive Private-Line® (PL), ensure that
the channel is not in use by momentarily pressing the
Monitor Button (if programmed, see page 2) to listen for
activity. To put the radio in permanent monitor
operation (squelch defeat), press and hold the Monitor
Button for five seconds (time programmable through
radio service software). To return the radio to its original squelch state, tap
the Monitor Button again or press the PTT Switch.
• If you try to transmit on a channel that is programmed for receive only,
an invalid tone will sound until you release the PTT Switch.
