Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of 
the radio 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 12).
Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone 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 by 
disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning Radio 
Tones/Alerts On or Off
 on page 24).
Switching Between Analog and Digital 
Mode
Each channel in your radio 
can be configured as an 
analog channel or a digital 
channel. Use the Channel 
Selector Knob to switch 
between an analog or a digital 
channel.
When switching from digital to 
analog mode, certain features 
are unavailable.
Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital 
mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature 
works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.
NOTE:  Your radio also switches between digital and analog 
modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on 
page 16).
