Communicating directly with other radios
You may be able to bypass the radio repeater and communicate
directly with another radio. This feature is known as ‘repeater
talkaround’. You can do this, for example, when you are out of
range of the repeater.
To activate repeater talkaround:
■ Press the assigned function key.
While repeater talkaround is on, the LED slowly
flashes orange.
To turn repeater talkaround off:
■ Press the function key again or change to another channel.
Activating the repeater before a call
A repeater access tone can be sent to activate the repeater before
a call is made, so that the start of the call is not lost.
To send a repeater access tone:
■ Press the assigned function key.
