Iftheselectedprogrammedchannelisforcallsoveranetwork,thegreenLEDindicateswhetherthenetworkisact-
ive.Bydefault,thenetworkisinactive(greenLEDisoff).
Initiatingacallwillactivatethenetworkwhichwillremainactiveforaprogrammedtime.Whilethenetworkisactive
(greenLEDglows),thecallcanbecompleted,andanewcallcanbegin.
IfthecurrentchannelisprogrammedforDMRoranalogcallsbetweenradios(withoutaradionetwork),thegreenLED
indicatesactivityonthechannel,i.e.whethersomeoneistalking.
ForallDMRcalls(overthenetworkorradiotoradio),ago-aheaddouble-beepmaysoundafterpressingthePTTkey
(ifprogrammed).
TheradiomaybeprogrammedtoringorbeepwhenanewDMRcallisreceived.
DMRcallshaveaninactivitytimeout.Ifapauseintheconversationexceedsthetimeout,thenextpressofthePTT
keywillestablishanewcall.
To make a call:
1.Selecttherequiredchannelorscangroup.
Thedesiredzonemayneedtobeselectedfirst,thenthechannelorgroupfromthatzone.
2.OnchannelsprogrammedforDMRoranalogcallsbetweenradios(withoutaradionetwork):Checkthat
thechannelisclear.IftheLEDisglowinggreen,thechannelisbusyandtheradiomaynotbeabletotransmit.
3.Usersshouldholdtheradiosothatthemicrophoneisaboutoneinch(2.5cm)fromthemouth,andthen
pressthePTTkeytotransmit.
4.OnaDMRchannel:Waitforthego-aheaddouble-beep(ifprogrammed).
5.SpeakclearlyintothemicrophoneandreleasethePTTkeywhentheconversationisover.
Whiletransmitting,theLEDglowsredandthetransmiticon appearsonthedisplay.
IfthechannelselectoristurnedwhilepressingthePTTkey,thechannelwillchangeafterthePTT
keyisreleased.
Limiting call time
Yourradiomaylimittheamountoftimeyoucantalk(transmit)continuously.Thisisknownasthe‘transmittimer’or
‘time-outtimer’andallowsotherradiouserstomakecallsonthatchannel.
ThemessageTransmit Timeout Imminentappearsonthedisplay.
Ifthetransmittimerhastimedout,youmustreleasethePTTbeforeyoucantransmitagain.
Yourradiomaybeconfiguredwithalockouttimewhichpreventsyoufromimmediatelystartinganew
transmissionafterthetransmittimerhastimedout.
