Answer: The radios allow for “Group Hang Time”
(around four seconds) for you to be able to Private
Reply to someone who had just finished talking. Push
the Programmable button within the hang time window
and you hear you hear the distinctive Private Talk
Permit Tone (TPT).You can then press the PTT button
to talk privately.
6 Question: How exactly does Private Reply work?
Answer: When you press the radio Programmable
button while User B is talking, your radio “captures” the
ID of radio B. Once user B finished talking and you
press the PTT button, your radio calls radio B privately.
7 Question: What happens if I want to end the call during
a Private Call or Direct Call conversation?
Answer: If you are the user who initiated the Private
Reply or Direct Call, you can end the call by long
pressing the Programmable button. However, if you are
the call receiver, you have to wait for the radio to time
out (i.e. no communications detected for more than 10
seconds) OR change the channel.
8 Question: I pressed the Programmable button to queue
to talk privately to the last person transmitting, but when
the user finished talking and I push the PTT button to
talk, the radio gave me a busy tone or other strange
tones and I could not initiate my conversation.
Answer: It is likely there are other users who were
waiting as well to talk to the last person transmitting and
someone else pressed the PTT button before you,
giving you a busy or error tone. Another reason is that
the last person transmitting has gone out of
transmission range.
9 If I press the Programmable button (either for Private
Reply or Direct Call) and I forgot that I wanted to talk
privately and I did not push the PTT button:
• Question: Would I be still able hear the group
conversations in my channel if I do not press the
PTT button?
Answer: Yes, you should be able to still hear
conversations in your channel.
• Question: How long do I have to talk privately to
User B?
Answer: There is no time restriction on how long you
can take to press the PTT button to talk privately to
user A, as long as the display shows a Private Reply
icon and Private Reply.
• Question: Does the radio gives me any alert to know
that I am in still in the private queue mode?
