Pressing the MONITOR BUTTON will also
clear any digits entered from the numeric keypad
and return the radio to the selected group display.
In addition, this button is used to toggle be-
tween group and regroup settings if the Dynamic
Regrouping mode (with deselect capability) has
been enabled by the site controller.
Conventional Mode
When the radio is operating in conventional
mode the MONITOR BUTTON is used to un-
squelch the receiver. If programmed for the se-
lected channel, it will also toggle Channel Guard
(CG) and/or Type 99 (T99) signaling on and off.
Momentarily pressing the MONITOR BUT-
TON will unsquelch the receiver. If programmed,
pressing and holding the button for at least one
(1) second will toggle CG and/or T99 signaling on
or off. After a T99 call has been received, pressing
the MONITOR BUTTON will reset the radio for the
next call. Note: Selecting another channel will
turn CG and T99 signaling 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 programmed home group. If no home
group is programmed into the radio, voice opera-
tion will be on the selected group.
In conventional mode, initiating an emer-
gency call by pressing the EMERGENCY BUT-
TON will cause the radio to transmit GE-STAR
signaling on the programmed emergency chan-
nel. 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
conventional channels or it may be programmed
to select systems. See SYSTEM/GROUP/CHAN-
NEL SELECTION for details.
