Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of
the microphone serves two
basic purposes:
•While a call is in progress,
the PTT button allows the
radio to transmit to other
radios in the call.
Press and hold down PTT
button to talk. Release the
PTT button to listen.
The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed.
•While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make
a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 18).
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 69) or the PTT Sidetone is enabled, wait
until the short alert tone ends before talking.
During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you
will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the
radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your
call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an
Emergency Call.
You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone or the
PTT Sidetone by disabling all radio tones and alerts
(see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on
page 68).

Scan
When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the
programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice
activity.
The LED blinks yellow and you see the scan icon on the display.
During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and
your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically
switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of
the call. This is also true for the reverse.
There are two ways of initiating scan:
•Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the
channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your
radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start
on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel
where scan was initiated.
•Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts
scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto
Scan enabled.
NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus.

Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where
activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a
programmed time period known as “hang time”.
Procedure:
1Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from
your mouth.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you
will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for
you to respond.
2Press the PTT button during hang time. The LED lights up
solid green.
3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak
clearly into the microphone.
OR
Wait for the PTT Sidetone to finish (if enabled) and

4Release the PTT button to listen.
5If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns
to scanning other channels/groups.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise
(termed a “nuisance” channel), you can temporarily remove the
unwanted channel from the scan list.
This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the
Selected Channel.
Procedure:
1When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance
channel, press the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete
button until you hear a tone.
2Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The
nuisance channel is deleted.
Deleting a “nuisance” channel is only possible through the

•Stop and restart a scan via the programmed Scan button or
menu, OR
•Change the channel via the Channel Selector Knob.
Vote Scan
Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where
there are multiple base stations trasmitting identical information
on different analog channels.
Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and
performs a voting process to select the strongest received
signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to
transmissions from that base station.
The LED blinks yellow and you see the vote scan icon on the
display.

Contacts Settings
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate
a call.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five
types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or
Dispatch Call.
PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only
available with the applications. Refer to the data applications
documentation for more information.
NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you
can make privacy-enabled Group Call, Private Call,
and All Call on that channel. Only target radios with
the same Privacy Key OR the same Key Value and
Key ID as your radio will be able to unscramble the
transmission.
See Privacy on page 76 for more information.
Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to a
programmable number key or more on a keypad. If an entry is
assigned to a number key, your radio can perform a quick dial
on the entry.

Privacy
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by
unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a software-
based scrambling solution. The signaling and user identification
portions of a transmission are not scrambled.
Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel to send a
privacy-enabled transmission, although this is not a necessary
requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a privacy-
enabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear
(unscrambled) transmissions.
Your radio supports two types of privacy:
•Basic Privacy
•Enhanced Privacy.
Only ONE of the privacy types above can be assigned to the
radio.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must be programmed to have the same Privacy Key (for
Basic Privacy), OR the same Key Value and Key ID (for
Enhanced Privacy) as the transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different
Privacy Key, OR a different Key Value and Key ID, you will
either hear a garbled transmission (Basic Privacy) or nothing at
all (Enhanced Privacy).
The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and
double blinks green when the radio is receiving an ongoing
privacy-enabled transmission.
NOTE: Some radio models may not offer this Privacy feature.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.
Procedure:
Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or
off.
OR
Follow the procedure below.
1c to access the menu.
2^ or v to Utilities and press c to select.
3^ or v to Radio Settings and press c to select.

If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the Home screen
shows the secure or unsecure icon, except when the radio is
sending or receiving an Emergency call or alarm.
Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF)
The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) feature allows the radio
to operate in a radio system with an interface to telephone
systems.
Procedure:
To initiate a DTMF call.
1Press and hold the PTT button.
2Enter the desired number, * or #.
You can turn off the DTMF tone by disabling all radio tones and
alerts (see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on

IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend communication beyond
the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available
sites via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the
range of another, it connects to the new site's base station to
send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your
settings, this is done automatically or manually.
If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all
available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or
when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current
site. It then locks on to the base station with the strongest
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.
In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in
the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have
the strongest signal) and locks on to it.
NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam
enabled, not both at the same time.
Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular
roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the Members list
during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.
A Members list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including
the Selected Channel).
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the
Members list. Check with your dealer or system
administrator for more information.
Starting an Automatic Site Search
NOTE: The radio only scans for a new site if the current signal
is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal
from the current site. If the RSSI value is strong, the
radio remains on the current site.
