34 Operating in conventional mode
3 Press Send.
The call details appear in the
display, the red LED glows and
the transmit icon appears in
the icon bar.
Making an emergency call
You may be able to activate emergency mode by using a
programmed function key.
1 Press the function key programmed for emergency mode
and an emergency call is sent to your dispatcher, or some
other predetermined location.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle
between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher
can hear any activity near the radio. Alternatively, your
radio may appear to turn off but will actually remain in
emergency mode.
2 Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by turn-
ing the radio off and then on.
Receiving a call
When there is valid activity on your radio’s currently selected
channel or group, the radio then unmutes and you can
hear the call.
If the incoming call contains special signalling that matches
the signalling programmed for your radio, the green LED
flashes and your radio may give a ringing tone.
Hearing faint and noisy signals
Your radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when
the strength of the incoming signal is above a predetermined
threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelli-
gibility are made audible. To make faint and noisy signals
audible, use the squelch override function to unmute
the radio.
