Conventional Mode
When the radio is operating in conventional mode
the MONITOR BUTTON is used to unsquelch the
receiver. If programmed for the selected channel, it
will also toggle Channel Guard (CG) and/or Type 99
(T99) signalling on and off.
Momentarily pressing the MONITOR BUTTON
will unsquelch the receiver. If programmed, pressing
and holding the button for at least one (1) second will
toggle CG and/or T99 signalling on or off. After a T99
call has been received, pressing the MONITOR BUT-
TON will reset the radio for the next call. Note: Se-
lecting another channel will turn CG and T99
signalling back on if programmed for the channel.
EMERGENCY BUTTON
When operating in trunked mode, pressing and
holding the red EMERGENCY BUTTON on top of the
radio for approximately one (1) second will initiate an
emergency call with voice operation on the pro-
grammed home group. If no home group is pro-
grammed into the radio, voice operation will be on the
selected group.
In conventional mode, initiating an emergency
call by pressing the EMERGENCY BUTTON will
cause the radio to transmit GE-STAR signalling on the
programmed emergency channel. If no emergency
channel is programmed, GE-STAR will be transmitted
on the selected channel.
STEP BUTTON
The STEP button located on the keypad may be
programmed to select trunked groups and conven-
tional channels or it may be programmed to select
systems. See SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELEC-
TION for details.
