Making calls
To make a call:
1 Select the required zone (see “Selecting a zone” on 
page 33). 
2 Select the required channel (see “Selecting a 
channel” on page 34).
3 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
4 Hold the microphone about 2 inches (5 cm) from 
your mouth and press the PTT key to transmit.
Note: If the channel is busy, you may not be able to 
transmit. Wait until the green status LED has 
stopped glowing, and then try again.
5 Speak clearly into the microphone and release the 
PTT key when you have finished talking.
While you are transmitting the red LED glows and 
 or   appears in the display.
6 Finish your conversation as soon as possible and 
release the PTT key. For a short time, your radio may 
prevent you from making a call.
Making an individual call
Note: This feature is available for digital channels only. 
To make a call to one person rather than a group of 
people:
1 Press Menu and select Individual call. (The person 
to whom you last made an individual call is 
highlighted.)
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you 
may be able to press a function key or use your 
Quick Access menu to select individual calls.)
