3. Release when you have finished speaking.
Your listener will hear an audible tone (called a roger tone)
to confirm you have finished speaking and they can then
speak back to you.
If you wish, you can switch off the roger tone (see page 16).
Listening to another radio
Your BT Freeway Pro radio is always in standby reception
mode when
is not pressed and you are not changing
any of the settings. Provided the other radio is using the
same channel and sub-channel, you will hear them
speak. The LED indicator flashes quickly when the radio
is receiving. When the other radio user has finished
speaking you can respond.
If another radio is calling you, you will hear a ringing
tone first, to alert you that they are going to speak. You
may need to adjust the volume, see page 10.
Sending a call tone
To alert other radios in your group that you want to
communicate with them, you can send a call tone.
There are 10 different call tones to select from and you
can also disable the call tone function, by setting the call
tone to 0.

PTT timeout
If you hold down for more than
60 seconds, your radio will emit a
warning tone and stop
transmitting. This is to stop
accidental transmissions and to
save the battery life.

Range
It is recommended that you do not
use the radios closer than 1.5
metres apart to avoid interference.
Your radios have a range of up to
3km (2 miles). However, the range
can be affected by the environment
or terrain in which it is being used.
To obtain maximum range, use in
flat open spaces. Obstruction
between the radios (e.g. buildings)
will greatly affect the range
achieved.
Remember!
To communicate with other radios
in your group they must all be set
to the same channel and sub-
channel.
