At this time the display will appear as shown on the right. If you press the 

End Call

 function key the monitoring will stop and you will return to the 

“Idle menu”. You can then make or answer calls or carry out other 
operations. You can change the audio volume level if you select the 

My 

Volume

 function key. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Background Monitoring 

Background monitoring allows a master station to continuously monitor a 
station, stations or a pre-defined group of stations. Each Station in the 
group is monitored for a preset time. The monitoring continues in a cyclic 
fashion. 

From the “Idle menu” pressing the 

Monitor

 function key brings up a new 

menu. Pressing the 

Background

 function key on this new menu brings up 

the following display with three function key options. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The monitoring rate specifies how long an individual station will be 
monitored before cycling to the next station in the monitoring list. If we 
press the 

Monitoring Rate

 function key the following menu will appear. 

The monitor rate can now be adjusted using the up   and down   arrow 
keys. The value can be adjusted from 1-3600 (seconds), i.e. from 1 second 
to 1 hour. This is the amount of time that the Master Station will stay at 
one particular station during monitoring. If the monitoring rate is 
decreased to 0 the monitoring will be DISABLED. This allows you to turn 
off the background monitoring without altering the monitoring list. Once 
you have set the monitoring rate you can either press the 

Accept

 function 

key or the 

Cancel

 function key to return to the previous rate. In either 

case you will return to the previous menu
