Basic operation 37
Checking that a channel is clear
Your radio is capable of segregating individuals or groups of
users by means of audible or subaudible tones (known as
signalling). This means that in normal operation you may not
be able to hear all calls being transmitted on a channel.
However, your radio may be programmed with the monitor
function which, when activated, allows you to hear all
activity on a channel. This is useful if you want to check
whether a channel is clear before making a call.
Note: The monitor function may not have been programmed
to override all signalling.
Using the menu
To activate or deactivate the monitor function:
1 Long press the menu key
to enter menu mode (if the
radio displays a submenu option, press the clear key
to
enter the main menu).
2 Scroll through the main menu options to find
USER
SETTINGS,
and short press the menu key.
3 Scroll to find
MONITOR (the radio will display OFF or ON
as the current setting).
4 Short press the menu key to turn monitor on and off.
5 Long press the menu key to exit menu mode.
When the Monitor is on, the Monitor symbol
appears in
the display.
