Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the
side of the radio serves
two basic purposes:
• While a call is in
progress, the PTT
button allows the radio
to transmit to other
radios in the call.
Press and hold down
PTT button to talk.
Release the PTT
button to listen.
The microphone is
activated when the PTT button is pressed.
• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make
a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 18).
Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone or the PTT
Sidetone is enabled, wait until the short alert tone ends
before talking.
During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you
hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the
radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
You will also hear a continuous talk prohibit tone, if your
call is interrupted, indicating that you should release the
PTT button, for example when the radio receives an
Emergency Call.
Switching Between Conventional Analog
and Digital Mode
Each channel in your radio
can be configured as a
conventional analog or
conventional digital channel.
Use the Channel Selector
Knob to switch between an
analog or a digital channel.
When switching from digital
to analog mode, certain
features are unavailable.
Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital
mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature
works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.
