BACKGROUND OPERATIONS

Your dealer can activate a variety of transceiver functions to perform without any

additional operation on your part.

Time-ouT Timer (ToT)

The Time-out Timer is used to prevent you from using a channel for an extended

duration. If you continuously transmit for a preset time, the transceiver will stop

transmitting and an alert tone will sound. Release the microphone PTT switch.

The signal strength indicator displays the strength of received calls.

Strong Sufcient Weak Very weak

No icon appears when no signal is available.

compAnder

If programmed by your dealer for a channel, the compander will remove

excessive noise from transmitted signals, to provide higher clarity of signals.

buSy chAnnel lockouT (bcl)

On Conventional channels, if BCL is set up by your dealer, you will be unable to

transmit if the channel is already in use. Use a different channel or wait until the

channel becomes free.

If BCL Override has been programmed, you can transmit over the current signal:

1 Press and hold the PTT switch.

• If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.

2 Quickly release and then press the PTT switch again.

3 Speak into the microphone as you would during a normal call.

On digital Trunking channels, the transceiver automatically searches for a control

channel.

• While searching for a control channel, the antenna icon will ash and no signals can be

received.

pTT id

PTT ID is the transceiver unique ID code which is sent each time the PTT switch

is pressed and/or released.

Note: PTT ID can be made only in analog operation.
