Alert Tone Indications (cont.)
• Private Conversation™ Call Received – A group of two medium-pitched
tones (800MHz radios only) indicates that your radio has received a Private
Conversation call. For all other frequency radios and for enhanced Private
Conversation, this sequence will be repeated every five seconds for
approximately 20 seconds.
• Trunked System Busy (Trunked Systems Only) – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone
when a trunked system is accessed indicates that all available modes are
busy and the radio is in queue for the next available mode.
• Call Back (Trunked Systems Only) – A group of two medium-pitched tones
repeated twice indicates that a mode is now available for your previously
requested transmission.
Indicator LED Indications
The indicator LED on top of the radio indicates radio operating conditions:
A. With the PTT switch pressed (radio transmitting)
• Continuous red LED—normal transmission
• LED unlit—radio is not transmitting
• Blinking red light—low battery
B. With the PTT switch released (radio receiving)
• Blinking red light—mode busy (conventional modes only)
• Blinking green light—receipt of a telephone call, Private Conversation
call, or Call Alert page
Time-Out Timer
The time-out timer feature limits the amount of time you can continuously
transmit on a mode. If you hold down the PTT switch longer than the allotted time:
• a tone will be generated four seconds before termination of your
transmission to warn you that your conversation is about to be cut off.
• your transmission is terminated and an alert tone is emitted until the
PTT switch is released.
Trunked or Conventional Radio Operation
Your MTX Series radio is capable of both trunked and conventional operation:
• Trunked Operation – During trunked operation, your MTX Series radio offers
a number of advantages, including fast system access, enhanced privacy, and
ease of operation. In a trunked system, there is no need for you to monitor a
mode before transmitting.
• Conventional Operation – During conventional operation, your MTX Series
radio performs like a conventional two-way radio. That is, you must monitor
the selected mode before transmitting. If the radio's red LED is blinking in the
receive mode, the channel is busy. As an option, the Smart PTT feature is
available. If the PTT switch is pressed and the channel is busy, a continuous
low-pitched tone will be heard. The tone will continue until the PTT switch is
released. This will ensure that you are observing standard two-way radio
transmission protocol by not “talking over” someone who is already
transmitting.
