Gurgle-Like Tone

Busy Signal

•

The radio system is busy or a busy condition exists 
when making a telephone call.

Three Medium Pitch Tones

•

A channel is available after a busy condition 
occurred (SMARTNET/SmartZone only).

As noted several times in this manual, program-

ming determines the availability and specific operation 

of many features. This usually refers to the program-
ming performed by your system operator when the 
radio was set up, not to any programming that a user 
can perform. If a feature is controlled by a front panel 
option switch and that switch is not available, it is 
probably not available. 

An exception is Keypad Programming which can 

allow the user to reprogram several conventional 
channel parameters. Refer to Section 4.14 on page 25 
for more information.

For best results, hold the microphone about 1-2 

inches from your mouth and speak at a normal conver-
sational level. Do not shout since it distorts your voice 
and does not increase range. Make sure that the PTT 
(push-to-talk) switch is pressed before you begin to 
speak and released as soon as the message is complete.

When approaching the limits of radio range, the 

other party may not be able to hear your transmissions 
and there may be an increase in background noise 
when messages are received. You may still be out of 
range even though you can hear a message. The reason 
for this is that the signal you are receiving is usually 
transmitted at a higher power level than the one trans-
mitted by your transceiver. Communication may be 
improved by moving to higher ground or away from 
shielding objects such as tall buildings or hills.

In the standby mode (power on, not transmitting), 

transceiver power consumption is relatively low. 
Therefore, you can probably leave the transceiver on 
for one or two days without operating the vehicle and 
the battery should not become seriously discharged. 
However, if the outdoor temperature is low enough to 
significantly decrease battery capacity, the transceiver 
should be turned off when not in use. 

Since power consumption is significantly higher 

when transmitting, it is good practice to have the 
vehicle running while transmitting. This ensures that 
optimum power is being delivered to the transceiver 
and that the battery does not become discharged.
