Selecting a Channel
Transmissions are sent and received on a channel. Depending
on your radio's configuration, each channel may have been
programmed differently to support different groups of users or
supplied with different features. After selecting the required
zone, select the channel you require to transmit or receive on.
Procedure:
Select a channel by using:
• Scroll Up/Down buttons, OR
• Volume/Channel Knob, OR
• The programmed Channel Up or Channel Down buttons
See Selecting a Zone on page 17 for more information on
selecting your required zone.
See Switching Between Conventional Analog and Digital
Mode on page 7 for information about Scroll Up/Down buttons.
See Using the Volume/Channel Knob on page 8 for
information about using the Volume/Channel Knob.
See Programmable Buttons on page 4 for information about
the Channel Up or Channel Down buttons.
Receiving and Responding to a Radio Call
Once the channel, subscriber
alias or ID, or group alias or ID
is displayed, you can proceed
to receive and respond to
calls.
The green LED lights up
while the radio is transmitting
and blinks when the radio is
receiving.
NOTE: The green LED lights up while the radio is transmitting
and double blinks when the radio is receiving a privacy-
enabled call.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call, your radio must
have the same Privacy Key, or the same Key Value
and Key ID (programmed by your dealer) as the
transmitting radio (the radio you are receiving the call
from).
See Privacy on page 59 for more information.
