The Tri-Color LED changes color to indicate radio status and is visible from both the front and top of the 
radio (see Figure 9-5). The colors of the LED and the status they represent are defined below.  

Green:  

Receiving 

Red:  

Transmitting 

 

If the LED is flashing rapidly, the radio is receiving an emergency call.  If the LED is 
flashing every ½ second, the selected talk group is in the emergency state (although not 
transmitting).  If the selected talk group is in the emergency state, an asterisk will be 
displayed next to the talk group name.
